Very little head.. all but goes
bit cloudy medium dark copper
medium strong nose of.... sweet, with a little spice
lovely creamy sweetness up front, juicy, fruity cordial in the nicest freshest way
this is hop oil done right- lovely bit of pine at the end that has a nice note of bitterness...
also a champagne-like thing going on too
another excellent Imperial IPA, strong in alcohol but deceiving-
maybe not a session beer but it would be hard to stop drinking this 1 all the same.
Well pleased that a well know brewery like this doesn't disappoint!!
9/10. Esquire magazine cals this "perhaps the best IPA in America" and I agree.

Second Tasting:
ReplyDeletejust a little bit of that farmyard/saison funkyness going on that i didn't initially notice, i would possibly downgrade this to 7.5 or 8/10.
