Elliott Bay Pro Am Imperial IPA

Brewed by Elliott Bay Brewery & Pub
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Seattle, Washington USA

Serve in Snifter, Tulip

Tap @ Beveridge Place: Orange color with a white head, the nose is big on this. Lots of sticky sweet hops; orange, grapefruit and more. The maltiness is profound AND...it’s quite balanced, which all good imperial IPAs should be. Dose you full of IBUs without even having to choke it down. Very clean and refreshing with quite a strong body.

Hazy amber pour with a nice foamy head and sticky lace. Really nice aroma of pine, grapefruit, floral hops. A pungent hop nose for sure. Flavors of tropical fruit, pineapple, grapefruit, with a strong resiny finish. Malt lends a dryness in the form of biscuit, and a soft sweetness that compliments the hops. Really nice hop bomb of a beer. Citrus and punch linger, lots of resins.

almost as ruinous as the stone ruination. super hoppy with a bitterness that stays with you long after the sip. can’t believe I haven’t tried anything by ebb yet. this seems like the start of a beautiful friendship.

On tap at West Seattle brewpub. Pours out a cloudy amber/orange topped with a sand color cream head. Aroma was of sweet malt and floral hops. Tast was of thick malts bitter citrus hops. A Huge grapefruit tast. This was a very tast Double.

On tap at Elliott Bay Brew Pub in West Seattle, WA--Bright citrus floral hops. Great nose! Orange copper body with lots of legs. Wispy white head. Great malt balance with a touch of wheat. Simcoe and Amarillo hops rule! Fantastic beer. Strong bitter finish. I predict this beer wins best IIPA at GABF.

8/23/08 From cask at the Seattle AHA rally. Aroma is strong; primarily of sweet cascade. Appearance is hazy yellow with a well maintained white head. Flavor is very well balanced, slightly starchy, and all good. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a low carb texture; some resin. Overall, excellent.
