Goblet pour from the source. $10! Opaque, even honey orange, pretty still look. Smell is at first very apple-y & lime-y, little acid, but it turns savory as it warms. Taste is pineapple, cream, strong bread yeast notions & ginger. Very little bitterness. Tastes like a good chicken marinade. Low carbonation, a little bready, but good acid helps. Can't do the full pour though. Interesting.

Taster pour only at the Barrio location. Rich, mostly clear, deep maroon, dark cherry red, still pour. Smell is dark cherry, lighter cherry pie & yeasties. Taste is deep dark fruit, but satisfyingly tart. No serious sour twinge, but sharp, slightly sweet with big acidity. Light, lingering grassy note at the end. Low but biting carbonation. Pretty good for a style they don't do.

Sampled from the tap at Aces and Ales Tenaya. Pours a clear light yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has a light melon and pine note with some grass and grain backing. Flavor has more of an earthy pine and wet grass note with a bit of bread backing.

Draft pour pint enjoyed at 595, Las Vegas. A mostly clean, darker golden orange appearance, with a thick foam head. A big and bold IPA. Some earthy grains, and soft grassy hops on the nose. Flavor agrees this is in fact an imperial. Its refreshing though, and not too aggressive with bitterness. A somewhat grassy hop finish, with a soft sweet side on the back end. Pretty good double IPA collab here from two new breweries to me.
