Golden color with a sweet floral, but mildly hoppy aroma. Soft caramel flavor which turns to a bitter hoppy finish. A decent IPA, but could use a little more balance.

When freshly served and still cold, the hops are covered by a malty sweetness. The lower in the glass you go, the more hops you taste. Success.

Interesting beer...just as hoppy as the Armstrong, but has a nice sweet maltiness to mask it. The hops really came out as it warmed though....good beer!

Yes folks, ’Imperial Pale’. Perhaps they’re going to make an India Stout next. This brewpub is getting bold with their seasonals, and this one is no exception. After drinking 5 beers, two of them an Arrogant Bastard and a La Trappe Dubbel, I could still enjoy the strong taste of this stuff despite my obliterated palate! Very floral and hoppy, reminiscient of US West-Coast IPAs. I can’t really remember details of the flavor because I was so hammered, but I’ll surely have it again in the next few weeks and update the rating.
