On-draught @ Mug's Alehouse. $8 a 12oz pour.

Hides its ABV well, but it's far from effective as an imperial IPA nor is it true to the intended style.

An exercise in upping ABV at the expense of balance and depth of flavour.

I'd be hard pressed to ID this as an imperial IPA in a blind tasting. Muddled warm chaotic scattered work from the brewery. Almost as if they "abandon"ed the style's traditions.

On-tap at Mugs Alehouse, Brooklyn, NY

A: The beer is hazy yellow in color and has no visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that died down, leaving lacing on the surface and down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of citrus are present in the nose—tangerine seems to stand out in particular.
T: The taste follows the smell but has flavors of piney hops along with hints of citrus. The bitterness and pine lingers into the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer drinks rather easily for a 11% beer and hides its alcohol very well.
