Midnight Sun Cohoho Imperial IPA

Brewed by Midnight Sun Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Anchorage, Alaska USA

Growler filled at the brewery. Pours a nice amber with an off-white head. Great aroma of floral hops. Flavor of caramel malts, pine, and floral hops. Very nice finish.

lots of malt and caramel in this double IPA. I expected more of a hop kick but instead was pleasantly surprised by the barley-wineish taste to this beer, a taste that was very casual and mellow. Very nice all around.

22oz bottle via trade with blutt59. Pours much darker than expected, a very deep ruby with a 2 finger off white head that left some nice lacing. Nose was slightly sweet with big pine and citrus influences. Flavor was bitter sweet and quite malty. I thought this was a very underrated brew, a nice change of pace from your run of the mill IIPA’s.

Malty and fermented honey aroma with an unusual meaty accent. Thick and rich head. Dark brown color which was strange for an IPA. Some what meaty (beef stock) type flavor with malt and hops, fairly sweet, but good. Creamy palate with a sweetly oriented duration. Very Good.

Bomber. Poured healthy medium amber with a short-lived, but easily-resuscitated cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up pineapple and floral hoppage over a sweeter, lightly toasty caramel base.. just a touch of candy-like sweets around.. good stuff! The flavor was quite similar with caramel and a bit of pale malts at the core, surrounded by floral, pine, and citrusy bitterness.. the hops were dry and seemed to be slightly aged.. finished warm with some residual bitterness and slight citrus sourness. Medium-plus bodied and engaging on the palate, but the flow was only so-so.. tasty and enjoyable overall.

picked this one up from whole foods the other day. pours a deep green/amber color. notes of pine and hops. nice crisp finish. i was really suprised by this one. yumm

22 oz bottle. Darker than most doubles with a delightful off white dense and creamy head. Initial aroma is that of juniper berries. This IPA was smooth and flavorful and not as strident with the IBUs as some others. High drinkability and another winter favorite goes into the rotation.

Bottle purchased from bottletrek.com, contents poured into a Stone OG tulip glass. Appearance is a clear amber/dark brown hue, thick craggy foam mostly sustains, latticework lacing on the glass. Smell is moderate hops, ranging from pine, floral, citrus, grass, and dirt/earth, some sweet caramel malts in the background. Taste is also full of hops, pine and floral tones mostly dominate here, hints of sour grapefruit, sweet caramel malts, honey, and cotton candy arrive midway, finishes dry and bitter. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, thick texture with resin that coats the mouth, lively and adequate carbonation. Drinkability is high given the style and abv, the alcohol is well-masked, the aromas are unique and give off a xmas tree essence, and the dry hops are a fun ride.
