2024 version is 10.9%.

Poured from a twelve ounce can, the body is a clear yellow-orange with white head. Good lacing.

Aroma is a mix of tropical flavors (pineapple, mango) with a bit of pine.

Taste follows nose and adds a background honey flavor. The malt bill here is substantial. Upon finish, there is a clear and bitter hop bite as things dry up.

Mouthfeel is good, mid-weight and supportive carbonation.

4.2/5  rDev +1.2%

Pours an effervescent honey color with one finger of eggshell colored head. Pretty good head retention & lacing

S: Super fruity, bready, some mango & papaya for sure, fades a bit as this warms up

T: Follows the nose, a little dryness, some woody hops, a little sweet pineapple as well up front. Cakeyness, dryness, pine & pineapple as this beer warms up. Finishes with sweet oranges, pine, cakeyness & dryness, plus a little pineapple

MF: Pretty chewy, low carbonation, decent balance, sweetness finally gives way to bitter as this beer comes up to ambient temperature

This is a throwback Imperial IPA, malt forward, heavily influenced by their house yeast ( which usually doesn't work for me ). A sipper for sure
