Draft 13 oz pour at Hop and Hound. This is my long day at work, and already missed the start of the Mariners game, cure. Works nicely! Three Magnets is one of my favorite IPA brewers in the NW, so the expectation that these will be good is set in, and I can’t think of a time where they really disappointed. No exception with this imperial. Thick, orange juice like pour. Full of juicy citrus aroma and flavor. How can an 8.5% be so smooth? Amazing. Creamy, orange over citrus, vanilla cool. Basically what I wish for in an imperial. Delicious.

Cloudy golden color. Orange zest hop but also spicy yeast. The body is lean, the malt base is good, the yeasst is a bit too present, but there is some balance in this chaors of elements.

Cloudy blond color. A bit resiny, a bit footy, light malt, lean body, but the hops are not very bright, a bit harsh and pithy in the final.

Cloudy blond color. Nice hops aroma, fruity, tropical, a bit hoppy. Dirty and floury mouthfeel, while the hopping is juicy and then resiny, possibly a bit too much bitterness in the final.
Very good.

Murky orange color. The aroma is a bit fruity, yeasty, some alcohol. Medium body strength, moderately sweet, Some resiny and fruity hop, but the yeast and astringency dominates.
Not bad, a bit too dirty.

Cloudy golden color. Aroma of candied orange, alcohol, yeast. Good body strength, solid pale malt base, a bit too boozy, relatively strong yeast, sweet orange peel, some hop resins.
Not bad, but uncoordinated.

Hazy golden color. Quite evident coffee aroma. Lean mouthfeel, the coffee is mild, nevertheless it covers the flavor of the underlying beer.
Not saying it’s bad, I just don’t get the point.

Tasting at SF, can
Cloudy blond color. Fruity, citrusy aroma. Light malt base flavor, some crisp malt, doesn’t go unnoticed, and with a good body strength; the hopping is fruity, and with a lot of citrus peel, although it’s a bit too chalky.

Black color with brown color. The aroma is mild, barely some dark malts and vanilla and tobacco and chocolate. The mouthfeel is smooth, there is some dark chocolate, quite dry, not much beer depth, and definitively some alcohol perception.
Not bad.
