Commercial Description:
When the loveable "hopheads" at Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse requested a winter version of alehouse favorite Sockeye Red IPA, our brewers instinctively spawned CoHoHo Imperial IPA. CoHoHo begins with generous measures of pale two-row and specialty malts along with spirit-boosters like maple syrup, brown sugar and honey. Hefty doses of Cascade, Centennial and Simcoe hops beautifully balance that outrageous malt bill and heighten the festive character of this exuberant beer. Whatever the celebration, make merry with CoHoHo Imperial IPA.

Bottle courtesy of TomDecapolis, thanks! Pour a clear copper color with a very thin head. Amazing aroma of fruity (pineapple, mango, papaya) and piney hops accompanied by malt. Superb flavor of fruity (again, pineapple, mango and papaya) and piney hops with a decent malt backbone and a dry, bitter finish. The body is light to medium with a liquorous texture and moderate carbonation. This is an awesome IIPA, the tropical fruits provided by the hops remind me of Dreadnaught, I love Midnight Sun!

[Bottle] shared by Skyview. Burnt caramel pour with a moderate tan head. Aroma is pine resin, citric hops, and a pretty good malt backbone. Flavor matches aroma. One of the better balanced DIPA’s I’ve had.

Received a 22-oz bomber from Liquidsolutions.biz and shared with the Minnesota gang at the Heritage Liquors Inauguration beer tasting in Maplewood, Minnesota. Pours a semi-clear copper amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates toa fine film and no ring. Aroma of sweet and fruity caramel malt, grapefruit, citrus zest, a touch of lime, and some tropical fruit. Taste is mildly bitter, medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of light caramel malt with some tropical fruit, grapefruit and a touch of pine. Finish is typical double IPA bitterness that lingers a little after the finish.

Bottle at dark lord day. One of my least favorite releases from MS. Pours and amber body with white head. Aroma is floral hoppiness, sugar, and pine. Flavor is very hoppy with some light fruit.
