Clear, pure golden coloured body with a nice, three centimetre tall tan head with a nice microfoamed, velvety top. Aroma of grass, citrus, grapefruit, resin, flowers and a good deal of malt with a bitter aroma with some alcohol and cleanser noticeable. Medium-bodied; Deep lightly astringent and medicinal bite with some alcohol and pungent grapefruit and citrusey flavours that showcase the alpha acids and hops with a deep malt presence that balances things out nicely and shows some orange, grapefruit and even lemon citrusey flavours on the edge with a faint bit of sweetness, too. Aftertaste is deep, relatively balanced, with a large presence of alcohol, resin, cleanser and bitter hops, but there is some citrus sweetness at the very end. Overall, a nice and deep 'true' East Coast Imperial IPA without much gimmicks - this is bitter, balanced and strong...a nice option from Virginia! Great to try, relatively fresh - Happy Anniversary to a Richmond 'Legend' (horrible pun)...Cheers! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Newport News, Virginia on 17-November-2019 for U$3,14 sampled at home in Washington on 17-March-2020.

Late vintage 2007. Bottle from dkachur, thanks, Dan! Reddish brown color. Vinous aroma with grape juice, banana, plastic and rubber. Full bodied. Sweet, malty flavor with rubber, banana, grapes, apricot. A bit like cheap plum brandy. Flowery and citric hopbitterness reveal themselves in the aftertaste. Could be better, although the complexity is there.
