Big, soft and fluffy, the perfect port in a storm. Fall face first into a massive, cloud like IPA, cushioned by pillows upon pillows of hops. You never need to apologize for partying, and it's cool if you drool while you nap out. It's not your place, It's just a crash pad!

This stuff is tasty, which is dangerous due to the high ABV. Not too hoppy or harsh. Citus with mango; not offensive, just flavorful and very enjoyable.

Best way I can describe it is dirty orange. Little white head. No lacing to speak of. Nose is citrusy, mango and maybe stone fruit. Taste is also hard to describe as it is not very strong on any particular flavor. Mango is the one that comes to mind. Not much bitterness on palate at all.

Imperial Hazy IPA. Taste is dry and somewhat effervescent. Disappearing lemon notes on tongue. Soft straw and pine flavors throughout. Real Ale does solid iterations of multiple styles and their prices are very reasonable so they have carved out a great niche in Texas.

Imperial hazy IPA style. Upon pouring, a hazy orange body with off white head. Citrus aroma and a little dank. First sip is crisp. Nice carbonation. Citrus and crackers come through. 9.3% alcohol sneaks up on you. Very well balanced. Part of a sampler 12 pack at Costco l bought last week. Looking forward to trying the other IPAs
