Ridiculously hazy, deep and chunky amber coloured body with some hints of a gold tint through the haze, but a very large, five centimetre tall off-white microfoamed head that's nice above the 95 per cent opaque body. Aroma of mangoes, papaya, flowers, chamomile tea, oranges, alcohol, syrup and a good deal of wheat and oat malts - quite a bit in the nose, here. Full-bodied; Super rich, chewy mouthfeel with a lot of the papaya and mango notes that seem to add to the body and depth here, with a ton of orange, bitter grapefruit and resinous pungency from the hops seem to define this, but the strong malt notes do provide enough backbone here, with a lot of alcohol and residual sugars, too. Aftertaste is super rich throughout - relatively straight forward, but again, packing a lot of punch, so this lasts a long time, but does show the same profile as the taste. Overall, a very nice, incredibly rich IPA that gets Imperial Status thanks to the fruit notes, pungent hops and deep malt bill and still stays just about drinkable throughout - perhaps aside from this stupid sized packaging that I can't imagine anyone drinking this 'normally'! This one was nice to have very fresh for a great price, locally! I sampled this [huge] 19,2 ounce tall can, purchased from Giant Food in Alexandria (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 22-September-2022 for US$3,00, canned on 07-September-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 01-November-2022.
