Definitely not your typical IPA…this beer is over-the-top hopped. We've calculated the final bitterness to be a staggering 100 IBUs. Extremely bitter with a dark-golden body and a heady American hop aroma, the Big 100 IBU IPA is among the most bitter beers out there.

From the one pint can dated 04-16-18. Sampled on July 28, 2018.
It pours a murky looking medium amber underneath a large and lingering foamy white head. Some lacing adds to it.
This is an older can so although I get pine characters and maybe an herbal character in the aroma; I also pick up this melted caramel sweetness and some grainy alcohol.
The mouthfeel is medium and smooth.
The taste is only a letdown because of its age I think as I get a malt bomb musty sweetness with a little pine wrapping things up at the finish. Again, with the booze.

Huge surprise here. Magic Hat is an amazing local company here but I don't usually love their IPAs. This is a west coast-ish, pine and citrus heavy crusher. Incredible balance of malt and hop, much preferred this to the majority of local brews. I wish more vermont brewers would try this style on.

June 2017. Perfectly bitter. Love this imperial IPA. None of the unnecessary malty sweetness everyone seems to love. Just straight up hop flavor in an ale with excellent full bodied mouth feel, super carbonation and a golden hazy color.
