4.5/5

AROMA
9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20

22 ounce bottle into tulip. Pours slightly hazy light orange-amber color with a fairly dense 2 finger off white head with good retention that reduces to a thin lacing cap. Some decent lacing on the glass. Aromas of insanely strong orange and grapefruit with pineapple; with light caramel and pine. Some very nice aromas here. Taste of strong grapefruit, pineapple, pine, and caramel with some spiciness. A fairly strong bitterness fades in on the finish and lingers with some sweet notes of orange and grapefruit. A great balance of sweetness and bitterness here, the sweetness is a tad bit stronger than the bitterness though. Medium carbonation and fairly full bodied. Incredibly well hidden alcohol content, only a slight warming after the finish noticed. Super smooth drinking for 8.5% and fairly slick feel. Overall, an incredible Imperial IPA, so much great flavor and balance. I will be getting this again for sure!

Such an incredible Imperial IPA. Highly recommended!
