Hazy golden and peach coloured body with a rich, thick, three centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of alcohol, resin, grassy and herbal hops with a large perfume smell and some light sweetness. Full-bodied; Resinous flavour with a big piney and grassy flavour, some deep piney and bitter malty notes at the end with a well-balanced sweetness. Aftertaste shows a lot of hoppiness, some sweetness and a nice smooth malty flavour that shows well. Overall, a good Imperial IPA with a lot of focus on resin and deep hop bitterness with a solid malt character and some light sweetness. Great to try and well worth bringing back from Texas. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Central Market in Houston, Texas on 10-August-2013 for US$8.99 sampled at home in Washington on 23-November-2013.

On tap at Yard House Houston. It pours a hazy, orange-brown body under a thin light beige head leaving curtains. The aroma is very fruity and piney, grapefruit, some resins and peach and a faint meaty touch too. It’s pleasantly carbonated, medium to full bodied, and medium dry. It’s quite bitter, grapefruit, pine cones and some peach hints, as well as citrus peel and some malty notes. Lasting finish almost entirely on the hoppy side. Overall it’s a nice beer, tasteful and easy drinkable, but lacking some depth. 131112

Location: Draft at Adair Kitchen, 11/4/13
Aroma: The aroma is roasty and fairly sweet, nuts, some chocolate, and caramel
Appearance: This one pours a dark brown color with a nice, large, light brown head
Flavor: The flavor is along the same lines, with mostly sweet and roasted malt flavors
Palate: The body is medium, it has a soft-to-average carbonation, and a fairly clean finish
Overall Impression: I thought this was a solid example of the style. This beer won’t blow anyone away, but I found it to be plenty drinkable.
