BrewDog Imperial is an 8.5% Imperial IPA built for balance and intensity. Bursting with bright citrus and layered piney, floral hop character from Citra, Chinook, and Salvo+, it drinks remarkably clean and smooth. A firm, precise bitterness snaps the palate before an easygoing, crisp finish invites the next sip.

The front of the can says 12 FL OZ. The side of the can says 19.2 FL OZ. So, I will take the average and call it 15.6 Scottish fluid ounces? I served this mislabeled beer in a stemless wine glass.

This beer pours a copper hue with a slight haze to it. It is topped with an inch of creamy, tan head that coats the side of the glass. Slight medicinal aroma with some citrus and hints of pine. Kind of sweet with some tropical fruit flavors and a little grapefruit. Mild resin. Lighter bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Solid IIPA.

12 ounce can, canned on 01/13/26, Brewdog USA brewed. Thanks to my buddy Denis for this one! Served in a Teku glass, the beer pours a somewhat clear dark gold color with about an inch and a half off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both pretty good. The brew smells like grapefruit, cantaloupe, and some bready malt. I think the taste is similar to the aroma, but with the addition of some lemon peel and piney flavors. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a bit coating and creamy with a moderate amount of soft carbonation. I thought this was a decent enough brew, worth a try if you get the chance.
