Commercial Description:
When the loveable "hopheads" at Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse requested a winter version of alehouse favorite Sockeye Red IPA, our brewers instinctively spawned CoHoHo Imperial IPA. CoHoHo begins with generous measures of pale two-row and specialty malts along with spirit-boosters like maple syrup, brown sugar and honey. Hefty doses of Cascade, Centennial and Simcoe hops beautifully balance that outrageous malt bill and heighten the festive character of this exuberant beer. Whatever the celebration, make merry with CoHoHo Imperial IPA.

65 cL bottle (sample). Orange, white head. Aroma hops. Taste becomes _almost_ soapy from these. Malty and bitter as well. Long lasting bitterness

22 oz. bomber. Pours a nearly clear reddish copper with a large linen white head. Aroma of lemons, grapefruit, and spruce trees. I found the flavor to be similar to the aroma with a long, bitter finish. I did not detect any of the malt noted in the commercial description. Still, an enjoyable beer albeit it was a little more bitter than what I prefer. This is the first beer I have sampled from Midnight Sun, and I’d like to try some others.

Bottle from my sis. Loosely hoppy, astringent aroma, very piney, and soapy. Pour is beautiful, head is beautiful, strong lacing. Actually very different in the mouth, light hops, slightly sweet lemon. No malt balance underneath it, though. Palate is thinner but more drinkable than most IIPAs.

Pours a beautiful amber color with a frothy white head. Smell of caramel, hops and malt. It has a very smooth tatse with hints of caramel and hops. The alcohol is well hidden in this beer. It does however have a metal aftertaste also. Overall a damn fine beer
