DRAFT REVIEW: Hopbox Imperial IPA
RATING
89

An unusual but alluring aroma of bright orange, vanilla and bread rises from this beer’s rich, moussey head. Those scents return on the tongue as vivid orange and tangerine wash back with bready malts and touches of vanilla and caramel; the malts are just shy of barleywine strength. Extremely smooth bitterness cleans up this full-bodied beer without agitating the taste buds, allowing the flavors to shine in a surprisingly easy finish.
