Pours magenta in color. Both sweet and tart berry flavor, balanced and easy drinking.

Very nice. Wish I could try it after it had been cellared for some years. Nice Aroma with dark right foods and some molasses and dark malt bit of roast. Flavor is like nose good carbonation for the style excellent body and finish. A sample provided by the world famous PB.

Hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a nice, very fast-dying tan head, only a centimetre tall. Aroma of alcohol, pungent apricots and peaches, a good deal of resinous and floral hops and a smooth, but substantial malt backbone. Medium to Full-bodied; Syrupy, sweet flavour with resin, pine, hops, earth, grain, toffee and a pungent floral flavour dominate at first, with a lot of bitterness from those hops, but also showing some sweetness from all the unfinished sugars. Aftertaste borders between the rich sweetness, the pungent and resinous hops and a good deal of support from the earthy malt. Overall, a balanced and well-hopped Imperial IPA with a proper flavour profile, some nice flavours and that great balance that really makes or breaks beers in this category. Nice to try and very well-executed, especially for an East Coast-based Imperial IPA. Great to try and well worth trying to find and drink fresh-ish if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Grape Vine in Fort Mill, South Carolina on 21-August-2017 for US$2,98 after watching the Eclipse with my family, sampled back at home in Washington on 08-December-2017.
