12 oz can served in a Belgian snifter.

Appearance. Hazy pale honey colored body with a thin white head.

This has a distinctive and pleasing aroma and flavor, with plenty of fruit notes. These include both tropical and pitted fruits. For a DIPA, sweetness leans to the high side while bitterness seems about average.

After opening the beer's page on BA I thought I spotted an error: 10.5% ABV is listed. It drinks like 7.5-8.5% ABV, although the alcohol component became more prominent after some warming.

Had this on tap at a local craft brew bar.
L - A light Golden slightly turbid looking pour with a well defined head and good lacing
S- A nice gentle citrus aroma
T - Wow, smooth refreshing not too hoppy IPA, that you would never believe it contained that much alcohol. A beer you can sip all day.
F - No bitter aftertaste, just a smooth mouthfeel that will leave you eagerly want another.
O - I am a huge IPA fan to begin with, but by far this is one of the best Imperial IPAs I ever enjoyed.
I do live near Holy City, although I did not consume this gem there. However, it is shown on their website with no indication that it will be seasonal, rotating, regular or one off (I hope not)
I have already found 6 packs available in my area.
I will be contacting them in the hopes that they keep going with this one. Yes it is that good.
High ABV, light refreshing taste, brilliant.
Easily the best beer I ever had by this brewery.
