Commercial Description:
This beer is a salute to the ingenuity and creativity of the American craft brewers. A uniquely American style of beer, the Double or Imperial IPA, has become the calling card of many craft brewers who aren't afraid to push the limits of what hops can add to a beer. This beer is big and hoppy - not for the faint of heart! Be prepared to experience sensory overload as you savor this Imperial IPA. Sensory Profile: Hops, and lots of them. The aroma is bursting with the classic citrus and pine aroma of American-grown hops. The flavor is dominated by a hoppy bitterness, with just enough malt to make you want to take another sip. Food Pairing: This beer needs an assertive food to stand up to it. Match Captain's Reserve with aged cheeses such as Stilton, cured and grilled meats.

(Handbottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of moejuck. Hazy, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Distinct aroma of citrus and pine. Fairly full in body with lightly sweet malts and plenty of citrus and peach notes. A lovely aroma bitterness in the finish. 060407

Sample from handbottle from tap. Pours golden amber. Aroma is sweet citric aroma. Starts sweey citric and turns quickly strong fruity and flowery before it gets bitter into the finish.
