Nose is rich citrusy hops, chewy malts, and a touch of pine. Aroma is mouthwatering! Taste is more citrus fruits, rich hops, chewy malts, caramel, and maple notes. Body is medium-full and has a creamy carbonation feel. Finishes with more creamy maltiness, citrus, light pine, and caramel. Pretty nice IIPA!

bitbucket (2026), Kirkland, Washington, USA Aug 19, 2006 Updated: Feb 9, 2007Draught at the Parkway Tavern Day of IPAs. Pours a hazy orange amber with a lacy, creamy white head. medium body. Aroma of fruit and toffee. Starts malty sweet and goes to a bitter finish. Re-sampled at The Tap House. Not a bad beer, butg there are better examples of the style out there. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA Jul 27, 2006 On tap. Poured a orangish color with white head. Nice hoppy aroma with decent malty background. It had a good hop finish to it, and was not harsh and was balanced which is what I prefer in an Imperial IPA.
