Super hazy, deep copper and bronze coloured body with an ultra large tan head, perfectly microfoamed, but tall, at eight centimetres, all atop the cloudy, chunky, 95 per cent opaque body. Aroma of intense residual sugars, with mangoes and papaya as well, and some citrus fruit with a pungent dose of lighter hops, with a ton of alcohol here, in the nose at least. Full-bodied; Super dense, rich and pungent malt dominates here with seemingly as much melon and papaya than light malts, but the lactose, fructose and residual sugars with a pungent and very deep profile with a lot of fruity sweetness on the end, a bit cloying, but of course hiding a tad - the alcohol here. Aftertaste shows some citrus and tropically notes, but the alcohol, super rich malts and especially the residual sugars here dominate everything with some hops noticeable, but this is much more of an American Strong than an Imperial IPA - it's just too sweet and not hoppy enough. Great to try with a great can design and from a new (to me) brewery, and after just being on the bridge (walking across of course) on the can, in Grand Rapids. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Siciliano's in Grand Rapids, Michigan on 03-August-2021 for US$6,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 18-October-2021.
