Draft pour to a tulip at Elliott Bay Lake City. Take an old imperial IPA recipe, and make it even stronger and better. I’m okay with that. Pours a dense, bold orange color with sticky rows of foam lacing. A subtle aroma of hops and orange fruit. Flavor is rich with orange and tropical fruits, a juicy explosion of hop flavor and a cool finish that slowly fades to a bitter linger. Big time hop punch here. Sweet, bitter, juicy, delicious. This is a moder imperial IPA for my taste. Fantastic beer for when you have time for only one, and dammit, you gotta make it count!
