Midnight Sun Cohoho Imperial IPA

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

Pours a lovely ruby red, with creamy lacing. Very fresh floral hops in the nose, and citrus and lemon. Quite delightful. Syrupy hops in the mouth, with a tastebud-raping maltiness that balances it out. Warming, quick thick and lovely, with a bitter finish.

Courtesy gunhaver. Pours a clear amber, with a small, bubbly off white head. Smells ofcitrus hops, some pine, and fairly large doses ofgrapefruit citrus. The flavorseemed to be much of the same, as it had more citrus than pine. The hops were big, but the balance seemd pretty good for a double IPA. Good dose ofhop bitterness in the finish and lingering aftertaste. Well done brew. I need to try more beers from these guys.

Bottle shared by captaincougar at the footsex gathering. The only thing I wrote in my notes for this one was: very nice. 4.1. I guess I’ll say I agree with steveo. Thanks for sharing Tom!

A bottle shared by the GA Crew at Foothills. A double deep amber cherry pour. Very nice aroma of citrus hops and semi sweet caramelly malt comes through as well. Very nice hop flavor that has excellent maltiness that balance it out very nicely. Soldid palate and very good carbonation. Wow a damn good IIPA. I liked alot.

22 oz bomb! Seeing as how double ipa was on the bottle, I wasn’t expecting to see this nice dark ruby red pour. Aroma is a blast of earthy, grapefruit hops and a touch of malt...reminds me of the hop bill on Wrath. Flavor is somewhat similar as the intense earthy hops play the featured role. Bitter hop bite really lingers in the center of your tongue...this makes it perfectly acceptable to take your time with this guy as you can enjoy the flavor between sips. Robust caramel malts accompany the lingering bitter finish. Lush mouthfeel and ok carbonation...overall, a nice enjoyable imperial ipa (more of a hop inspired double red)....would love another bottle.

bottle from bottletrek.....pours a transparent dark reddish brown with a thin soapy off white head.....intense aroma of fresh tropical hops with some sweet malt poking through at certain points.....flavors threw me for a loop since malt played more of a role, moreso than the earthy hops. finish leaned more towards the hop by adding some bitterness but the hop profile overall was pretty tame....a pretty well balanced iipa.

22 oz. bottle - pours clear and dark amber with think off-white head; piney and citrus aromas are in your face; malts dominate the hops in the flavors; slightly creamy finish and bitter aftertaste; pretty nice and much more my style than their obliteration II

Pours a three finger off-white head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving a good lace. Nice clear amber color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Hoppy nose. Flavor piney, grapefruit but some sweetness. Drying finish. Lingering bitter aftertaste. Decent DIPA. $7.99 for a 22oz bottle from John’s Marketplace Portland, OR.
