Imperial IPA
ABV: 9.5%
IBU: 100
RATING
89
Soft bready scents deepen a sugary pine and orange hop aroma, hinting at a bold swallow. Rich toast and caramel sink into the taste buds while orange zest and pine hover above. Hop bitterness flexes mid-sip, pressing against the sweet base before alcohol warmth emerges to dry out the finish. Despite a powerful hop presence, this beer’s malt foundation endures long after the swallow, which helps preserve the taste buds between each bitter sip.
