Brewed in honor of Kurt Junkermann, Titletown Brewing's Imperial IPA is a monster! With a full and fruity flavor and a wallop of bitterness for grit, this throwback hop bomb just might be your father's IPA after all.

Kurty's Hop Monster pours with a reasonably hazy golden amber pour, looking the color of honey but with a creamy eggshell froth that billows to the brim. With a full fruit bouquet rising to the nose, the scent is citrusy, tropical, stone fruit-like with hints of orchard fruit to boot. Sweeter though to taste, the beer's upstart is caramelized with hints of graham cracker, nuttiness and honey in a most granola-like way.

The fruit flavors simmer on the middle palate and invite the malt sweetness to make the fruits seem plumper, riper and juicier before the bitterness sets in. Trending rife with resinous bitterness, a sense of grassiness, pine, pepper and botanical herbs, the beer closes with a dank and earthy bitterness with hints of apricot, mango, pineapple, grapefruit and orange looming.

Full bodied yet drinkable, Kurty's finishes on the bitter side of bittersweet with a long resinous bitterness of sap, spruce and hemp with a jolt of curacao liquor for spice and balance.
