The mountains of Summit and Nugget hops in this high gravity Imperial will thrill even the most experienced beer explorer. Savory evergreen and pineapple aromas mingle with flavors of bitter, resinous pine and grapefruit pith. A colossal rush of hoppy adventure!

Fruity, flowery, and malty, in that order. 4.10, across the board.

Can pour - medium gold honey color with foamy white head leaving significant lacing. Nose is citrus, pine, malt. Taste follows with earthy floral notes and a slightly bitter lingering dryish finish. Seems a much different version of their earlier imperial ipa.
