Imprint Beer Co. "Reptilian Focus"
$7/pint on tap at the brewery on 11 March 2023

Notes: A triple IPA at 9.1% ABV with Citra, Amarillo, Simcoe, Azacca, and Meridian hops.
Look: A milky pastel yellow-beige colored body is capped by a short head of white foam that drops shortly.
Smell: Limited aroma with some malty sweetness and some mixed citrus notes.
Taste: Initially minty, malty, and citrusy then minty, somewhat spicy and bitter before a dry finish with mint and some spiciness lingering.
Feel: Medium-full in body and gently zesty on the tongue.
Overall: Definitely unusual, so points for that, but how well does it come together? I'll say it's balanced but not particularly rounded.
Review #9,311

From Good Times Oakland.

Pours almost like orange juice. Not hazy, cloudy. Canned February 9th.

Smells tropical, hoppy, somewhat boozy, okay I reckon

Taste is tropical fruitiness with pineapple and mango, very hoppy but not that much bitterness. For a beer that claims to be a Triple IPA, that is somewhat disappointing.

Good mouthfeel, overall I find it drinkable for the one can. I have no interest in drinking this again.

Pours a straw yellow with two fingers of rocky head that slowly settles to a thin cap with plenty of lacing. Aroma of grapefruit and pine. Taste follows nose. A tinge of sharp bitterness.

 

Big, juicy double NEIPA. A bit boozy, but still very, very tasty.
