Lace up your Docs, put on your cleanest dirty flannel, and dive into the waiting arms of your fellow hopheads. No frills, no keyboard solos, no guy in a cape singing about unicorns or hobbits. Just a full-on facemelter, with Idaho 7™, Sultana, Amarillo, Citra, and Cascade hops leading the attack and heavy citrus notes of orange and lemon landing like a double kick drum.

Mosh Pit - Imperial pours a hazy, orangish color, with a tiny head. The aroma is earthy. The flavor does have some earth, harsh cereal notes, and lots of lemon. Good feel. Overall, it's a heavy beer, unique, lots of lemon flavors.

Hazy golden color with a modest but lasting white head.
The aroma is tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple and pine resin.
The taste is pine, pineapple, grapefruit, and tangerine. The finish is dry with strong pine resin and some herbal notes, moderate bitterness.
The body is medium, moderate carbonation, drinkable with fairly well hidden ABV which shows more as it warms up a bit. Altogether, this is a decently tasty and refreshing brew that just seems a tad off on balance and flavor, not bad but could be better.

Pours a hazy orange with fine head.
Smell is fruity with notes of pine, citrus, Vitamin C-tablets, peach, Pop Rocks and gummy candy.
Taste is fruity and perfumey with some sweet and herbal hints. Notes o citrus and pine with a strong soapy taste that overshadows everything else.
Mouthfeel is medium, sticky and well carbonated.
Overall, this is quite strange. I doubt this is what this is supposed to taste like.

Best by 7/21/24
Appearance: Pours a party clear (50% clarity) medium golden color with a strong white head that lingers. SRM of 9. (4.00)
Aroma: Strong aromas of orange, grapefruit, pineapple, some tropical resonance, tangerine underneath.
Flavor: Strong flavors of spicy orange, tangerine, grapefruit. Some resinous, pine and orange spice underneath. Finishes, sweet.
Feel: Medium bodied, lower carbonation, finishes, smooth, and sweet.
Compared to Surly Raging Furious 4/2024: Pours lighter, similar head. Milder aromas. More grapefruit, citrus, tangerine. Less spicy orange, caramel, ruby notes with spicy pine. Milder and less boozy.
Overall: Nice hop combination. Sort of has a weird bubblegum yeast in it and finishes a bit spicy in a way. It's alright. Has an okay body but the flavor doesn't seem quite right. I've had better IPAs at 9%
