Very cloudy, particles floating throughout glass. Foamy, white head with a fair amount of lacing. Aroma is caramel malt, tropical fruit, herbal and citrus notes. Flavor is similar. Medium body, juicy mouthfeel. A very good beer!

Bottle dated 04/20/15 (very fitting given the name) poured into a tulip glass. Obviously I would've liked to have tried it fresher, but an imperial wheat IPA sounded intriguing and I never saw it in my local market, happened upon a bottle during a trip to the Redwoods.. Expecting a sweet malty mess, I was pleasantly surprised. Great appearance, though minimal head likely due to the age. Must be filtered as there was zero haze (puzzling given the name). Good nose, taste was sweet but not off-putting. Finish was good. Really want to try again fresh, think this could be quite interesting.

Pours a thick caramel color...lots of sediment...not surprisingly has a lot of caramel malt up front but chased quickly by tropical fruits and dank...interesting aftertaste...hard to pin down but enjoyable.

Poured a deep cloudy amber with volumes of visible suspended particulate. THe head is thick-ish and creamy white. It leaves a small amount of sticky/soapy head. The aroma is lacking, missing both qualities of a wheat beer and the bombastic hops I'd expect from an Imperial IPA. Faint whiffs of tropical fruit and caramel. The taste is equally disappointing and almost non-existent.The body has a nice weight to it and somehow manages a biting bitterness from the hops.
