Pretty clear amber and copper coloured body with a thinnish, fast-fading off-white and tan head that leaves a thin lace on the sides of the glass. Aroma of deep, grassy, herbal and piney hops with a lot of malts too and a good tropical twang near the end. Medium-bodied; Rich, malty flavours show at first with a lot of earthiness and nuts with some nice graininess as well and a lot of hop bitterness that hits at the end and produces a lot of astringency, in a good way. Aftertaste is rich, flavourful and once again, bitter, but showing some citrus flavours and a dose of tropical notes as well with a mild sweetness at the tail end and a good balance throughout. Overall, a very nice Imperial IPA that drinks like a pure West Coast IPA with some tropical notes, a bit of pine and some mellow sugars. I sampled this ten ounce pour on draught at Kohala Brewery in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii while on Spring Break with my wife and kids on 12-April-2022 for US$7.00.
