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.

Bottle. Nice hazy amber colour. Very fruity sweet hoppy aroma. The flavour has a siruppy sweetness with a very nice fresh fruitiness, malty and hoppy. Dry bitter long lasting finish. Very good IPA indeed!

Amber color, firm head. Hoppy blackcurrant aroma and flavor. Has some fruity sweetness. Grapes. Somewhat alcoholic, but that is still pretty well hidden. Dry out effect in the mouth. Solid beer with a good taste.

Poured a dark amber/orange in color with a huge, five finger, head. Nice hoppy, citris, piney, orange and grapefruit aroma. Nice tasting (like it smells) with a malty balance. Dry, smooth and bitter finish. Very good IPA. Costly with the postage I paid, but well worth it!

Cloudy copper pour, beautiful color. Gentle full off-white head slowly receds to a sticky cover. Heavy malt aroma unleashing maple and graham cookies components. Mellowed by a good level of sweetness and yeasty undertones yet concentration worthy. Not the most complex, but the hop profile is displayed gracefully, coming out soapy, woody. Pleasant rich caramel maltiness. Almost bready yeast undertones, at times hinting at butter. Diplomatic yet growing bitterness, sand-like, highly earthy, orangey and dry. As other Midnight Sun beers, the carbonation is prominent, though not disturbing unlike in their other brews. It is very well rounded, full bodied, airy and bubbly which seems to bring two sub-effects: A warming and filling sensation and a shorter flavor than it could have. I definitely can’t say it is for the worse on the other hand. Among the pack that closely follows the lead in the world of I2PAs and probably my favorite of the couple of Midnight Suns I’ve tried.

Sparkling clear, amber ale with a small, creamy, white head. Very malty and extremely well-hopped. Great balance. Caramel, sherry, leather, flowers, cashews and apple notes. Full-bodied and astringent as Hell. Oily mouthfeel with lively carbonation. Lengthy, tart, dry finish. Really good stuff!
