Third stop during the ABA Beer Tour ’07 in Bozeman, Montana. Sampled at the Bozeman brewery brewpub on tap. Labeled as Bozeman Imperial IPA on chalkboard, pours cloudy coppery-amber brew with a thick off-white head with terrific retention. Excellent lacing that stays with the glass. Aroma of sweet pink grapefruit, cereal malt with a touch of sweet orange peel. Taste is full bodied, highly carbonated with sweet grapefruit flavor that lasts. Finish is bitter at first and then a clean and crisp finish. Very little aftertaste, just a hint of roasted malt. A glass of water chaser takes that away instantly. Most excellent!

Copper color with off-white head. Big notes of citrus on this one. Flavor to match, with the hops being controled in the end by a nice touch of malt. Finish is clean, crisp and hoppy. Very nice!
