A: The beer is rather hazy yellow in color and seems to have a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a narrow collar around the edge and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of lime citrus are present in the nose along with notes of peach and hints of herbal hops.
T: The taste has flavors of stone fruit along with notes of peaches and hints of floral and herbal/spicy hops, the latter of which stand out in the finish. The hops also contribute a moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and quite crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I've never tried a beer brewed with HS-Sitiva hops before, and found them to contribute interesting aromas and flavors to this Imperial IPA, which also did a good job at masking any traces of alcohol from the taste.

Server in a pint glass from the can.
Appearance: Hazy yellow with medium bubbles and a super thick off white head which rose over one finger's length off the body.
Smell: Floral juicy grapefruit. Hovers the nose and lingers.
Taste: Sweet and hoppy brew, orange zest with hints of grapefruit juice and smooth maltiness.
Mouth: a sticky with a soft carbonation.
Overall: Great pick up, will grab another four pack once I go back to my local beer guy down the street. Always in a glass.
