On tap at Sedona, yesterday. Gold pour. Nose is lightly minty, green grass, leaf, hint of citrus. Flavor is stone fruit, bubblegum, leaf, grass. Meh.

Deep, super crystal clear amber, bronze and copper glowing body, with a nice one to two centimetre tall tan head that fades to an oily slick that barely covers the top. Aroma of pine, sap, malts, toasted grain, citrus, resin, honey and a lot of grassiness, all with a distinct herbal bite near the end of the nose. Medium to Full-bodied; Rich, syrupy, resinous and very piney bitterness up front with a strong herbal and grassy bite, but also a lot of sugars all coming through, with a pungent grainy malt characteristic and some deep, astringent and pungent flavours that of course show alcohol, but also a lot of medicinal bitterness. Aftertaste is rich, deep, very sweet, malty and showing perhaps too much resin, too much hop bitterness and too much leftover sweetness - this is very rich across the board. Overall, a strong, aptly named Imperial IPA with too much pungency and depth, definitely showing an 'old school' bite, but also too many sugars and astringency to be good. Nice to try and good if you want to reminisce from the Mid 2000s of how Imperial IPAs all used to be. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 27-November-2020 for US$4,99, which was canned on 24-April-2020 (a while ago), but was sampled at my house here in Washington on 06-December-2020.

From a pint can. Pours a clear copper with an off white head. Aromas are grassy. Flavors are bitter pine and dank hay.
