Impression and interpretation - 4 – A decent IIPA

A: The beer is relatively clear yellow in color and has a slight amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that faded away, leaving only specks of bubbles on the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light aromas of blueberries, grapefruit, and pineapple are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell, except that the flavors are a little stronger and there are additional hints of flavors of mangos and papayas. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and surprisingly smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer drinks very easily for an Imperial IPA as it obscures any traces of alcohol from the taste.

Serving type: can

"Here be dragons" Identified on its label as part of the E Pluribus Lupulin Series, though it is not numbered, and the series appellation comes after the name... Canned on 8/27/18... Features Amarillo, Mosaic, and Denali hops...

Clear medium gold beer with a finger or so of ivory head... Suggestions of tropical fruit and pine up front, with floral aromas and softer caramel and orchard fruit tones following... Lean but full-feeling, with subdued carbonation... Fairly sweet with a mild bitterness that leaves a light shellac behind... Fruits reassert on each sip, with pineapple, mango, papaya, orange, grapefruit at the fore, a little hint of spice, and a danker pine resin rolls in underneath right after, rounding off the edges and adding a somewhat danker characteristic to the beer... Diggin' it...
