Everything about this beer says Me, Me, Me. I didn't not taste it at all on my last visit to the brewery, this previous Sunday. Thought I'd try everything else and bring back a crowler. A Wisconsin-sized crowler. Gonna crack it open and tell you all about it. Oh, it's 9.2% Alc./Vol. But that was hinted at in the whole "Imperial" thing.
Very clear, classic amber/bronze hue, smallish white head, sticks around as a tight ring.
Aroma is exactly like I'd suspect from anything calling itself "Belgian IPA": funky, fruity, lightly bitter. Reminds me of Harriet's West Side, and Flying Dog's Raging Bitch. Hitting all those notes.
In the mouth: a strange flash of Belgian yeast meets up with hop bitterness. Pretty mellow, though. Yet so far. Smooth malt flavors, too. Tasty stuff. The alcohol is starting is show, and I don't mind it one bit. Buzzy, hoppy texture. Quite drinkable, though. I almost want to take points away for not being original, but have to give some up for being right on the money.

Clear honey golden with a moderate crop of off-white froth.
Aromas of mown weeds, underripe pineapple, wet cement, black pepper, cotton candy, and white grapes.
Entering the mouth, it brings a blanketing sweetness via rock candy, grape juice, and Royal Hawaiian dinner rolls. Esters peck away, with kiwifruit, clove, and black pepper. Hops bring balance, and then some. Blood orange, milkweed, hay, and a bouquet of dried flowers.
The alcohol content is frighteningly absent. The mouthfeel is a doughy medium, and the gently rolling carbonation is steadfast throughout the 32oz. Crowler.
It doesn't necessarily break any new ground (other than being a hybrid style) but it's very well put together. The package sizes are equally eye-catching and daunting, but after this,the big Oliphant cans are officially on my radar.
