What Our Editors Thought

“Fresh green leaf in the aroma provides a foil for the papaya and mango notes. Peppery pith bitterness in the sip rolls in and out with a smooth restraint, while the sweet fruit bursts and lingers.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Prominent dank and onion aroma. Pungent and sweaty tropical flavors of pineapple, stone fruit, and mango. Vibrant and lively. Sweet on the finish with some bitterness. Significant but smooth alcohol.”

What the Brewers Say

“Imperial West Coast IPA. Dank blueberries, ripe mango, juicy papaya, and zesty orange peel.”
