Rice, mosaic, and simcoe hops combine to form this deliciously dangerous brew. The IBUs and ABV have been reduced from prior iterations making this beer supremely smashable, Tropical hop flavors blend perfectly with the mellow and balanced malt bill. Medium bodied, golden in color, and right around 8.5% this is a beer drinker's summer dream. We even put it in cans so whether at the pool, hitting the links, or in a drunken stupor feel safe and free to pound these brews as a celebration to the warm months and all that come with them.

Pours clear initially, cloudy on the second pour. Aroma of sweet malts and alcohol. The flavor lies somewhere between barleywine and wheatwine territory with a massive sweetness. There is a strong candied orange cloying sweetness and alcohol. Imperial rice IPA? How about "no". This is a big sweet mess. No freshness date, old?

Bought after a day of disc golfing. Driving down a familiar stretch and stopped at a gas mart.
Better beer selection than my past memory servs me. Looked, stumbled upon this one. I guess local yet far away contract brew. Cashier asked witch batch and said yeah this is the good 'one'. , while I looked at some discs.
Paid cash. Cracked open just before getting home. Good. Rice brew? Tell me more. A strong ipa. But drinkable for strong ipa's..a solid 4/5,

The body appears apricot colored, slightly hazy, and topped with a dense, creamy head. Sweet, caramel-like aroma; slight suggestion of orange or other citrus fruit; hoppy. Rich, bready flavor; hints of caramel and honey; mild sensation of bitterness and booze far back into the finish. Medium-heavy body; velvety on the palate.
A rather different DIPA that seems rough around the edges at first but does grow on you as you settle into it.

Served in a tulip glass
This beer pours a hazy amber color with burnt orange highlights. It has an inch of off white head that leaves some decent lacing.
The smell is a lot maltier than I expected. I get some light citrus as well.
The taste is a balance of malt and citrus. It starts out malty with caramel malt and finishes citrusy with an orange juice.
Medium mouthfeel
At first I thought it tasted more like an average pale ale. The orange juice flavor builds the more I drink making it better the more I drink. I have been a fan of Nowhere in Particular's beers that I have tried. I was not digging this one at first, but it is solid. I like Batch #001 better but would like to try this on tap as I have most of the others.

Pours a golden coppery color. Aroma is citrus with a little bit of candied dark fruit. Flavor is citrus with a golden raisin taste. Has a balanced malty finish. Feel is smooth and nice and overall a solid IPA.

Aroma is very sweet, caramelly malt dominant, with notes of sticky papaya, mango, and a touch of muddled citrus adding contrast.
Flavor is very sweet initially, as well. Pineapple dominates early, with muted tangerine taking over and carrying into a fairly bitter, resiny finish. Strong toasted malt notes support throughout.
On the sweet side, fruit is muted, but I like it.

What an uneven review. But this brew has so much going on, but the finish is very boozy, which can be so distracting. I guess it's just too good.
It even looks creamy. The aroma is thick and malty like the huge tangy bitter malty taste. It hits the tongue huge. Malty and very boozy feeling.
This is highly recommended. I never hear of this brewer before Friday, but I will seek this out while it is fresh.
