Pretty good stuff. If you are looking for a high alcohol, low priced beer, this is it! Really doesn’t taste bad!

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a mahogany color with a 1 inch head. Smell is surprisingly malty, some honey. Taste is dank. malts, alcohol is prevalent, mild sweetness and bitterness. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

Fairly nice IPA but I was a little surprised to see that it was an imperial type, since it lacked the depth and richness that I was expecting. Pours a nice lighter honeyed-amber color with some fluffy white head and spotty lingering lacing. Smells mainly of citrus zest hops, a little malt and some caramel. Tastes mainly of grapefruit, lemon, orange and tangerine fruity hops with a little bitterness, along with malt, vanilla, caramel and some faint herbal hops. Smooth, thin, mild mouthfeel and good carbonation. Fairly good balance between the bitter hoppiness and sweeter malt backbone. Enjoyable, it's just that there are so many other outstanding imperial IPAs.
