Mar 2, 2009 Tasted on tap at the Bistro Double IPA Festival on 2/7/2009. This Imperial IPA pours a slightly cloudy orange gold color from the tap. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is piney and citrusy. A medium bodied Imperial IPA. The malts are fruity and sweet, with a touch of caramel. The hops are piney and floral. A fairly bitter IPA. The bitterness lasts in the aftertaste. Good carbonation. There is a touch of sweetness at the finish. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
