Relatively clear amberand copper coloured body with a small, single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of bright hops, some tropical fruits, a little resin, alcohol and light malt - there is no pineapple noticeable at all. Medium-bodied; Grassy and resinous piney hop flavour with a lot of grain, earth and acidic flavours that barely show off the pineapple along with a bit of grassy and herbal hops elements. Aftertaste is relatively mild with some yeast, grass, resin, high alpha acid hops and a bit of alcohol noticeable as well. Overall, a decent beer, but not a great Imperial IPA nor one for their purported style. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from West Lakeview Liqours in Chicago, Illinois on 25-May-2016 for US$11,49 sampled at home in Washington a few minutes after completing the 2016 USMC Marathon with my wife on 30-October-2016 - Congrats Amanda!
