What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Muted hops aroma with pine and spruce notes as well as hints of orange and grapefruit.”
Flavor: “Medium malt presence with moderate American hops bitterness that is a bit more subdued than other examples of the style. Hops flavors are a bit muddled. Slight earthiness. Grapefruit astringency in the finish.”
Overall: “Good IPA with fewer distinguishing notes than others in the category. It could benefit from additional clarity in the hops flavors with more hops bite.”
What the Brewers Say
“An Imperial bitter with exotic traditional floor malts, citrusy, hoppy flavor, stupendous hops aroma.”
