The Brew Kettle Production Works Old 21 Imperial IPA - 9% ABV - Consumed March 21, 2013.
A: pours a clear amber hue with bronze edges, one finger of frothy white foam, lots of bubbles in the body, sheets of lacing on the pint glass. Nice look.
S: pine, hemp, bread crust, citrusy and herbal hops, grapefruit, honey, nuts, cotton candy, resin, navel orange, alcohol esters, and nectarine. Fresh and aromatic nose that falls just short of greatness.
T: juicy, citric, and orangey hops upfront, peach, caramel sweetness mid-palate, nutty malt, pine resin and bread crust to end. 90 IBUs make themselves known with some lingering heat in the throat. Good.
M: full side of medium-bodied, bordering on syrupy, with a spicy, citric and drying hop bitterness and lasting piney-bready afters. Consistent with the style.
O: a very respectable East Coast DIPA that I would gladly purchase again.

12oz bottle. Poured out a clear, golden yellow color with a small, tan head of foam. It smelled of citrus, pine and toasted caramel. Sweet caramel and citrus. Nice piney bitterness.

Looks like Amber honey
Smells like pine and citrus. The alcohol burns the nose a little.
Tastes sweet and quenching. Alcohol taste comes in as an afterthought.
Overall this reminds me of my grandparents attic.
