Retribution Imperial IPA is brewed for the true connoisseur of all things hoppy. We brew this beer with one theme, go big... or go home... Layers of bittering, finishing, and aroma hops all combine to result in a truely unique beer.

Dark appearance for a double ipa, this one leans brown moreso than amber or orange. Mild 1/4" off white head. Aroma hit the grapefruit hoppy notes.
Taste was heavily bitter with a backdrop/aftertaste of toffee and bitterness somewhat foreign and not entirely hop derived. Kind of hot. Would probably work better with less alcohol, malt etc. . .
