Aroma: “Rich citrus with slight pineapple, kiwi, and other tropical notes. Bready. Relatively subdued overall.”
Flavor: “Rich and chewy with tons of lemon, orange, pineapple, tangerine, hints of coconut. Crazy complex hops profile that blends well with the bready malt. Some sweetness in the start with a touch of pine resin, bitterness, and fantastic lingering mix of fruit flavors in the finish.”
Overall: “Quintessential example of the New England–style imperial IPA. Soft, juicy, and hoppy to no end. Rich, chewy, and interesting from the first sniff through the final swallow. Everything comes together well.”
