A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy yellow in color. It poured with lots of specks of bubbles on the surface and a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of tangerines and oranges are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of limes and tangerines along with a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This Imperial IPA has a nice balance between flavors of limes and tangerines and is a lot lighter in body compared to other beers in the style.

Serving type: can

Canned on 2/28. Poured to Birrateque IPA 18OZ Glass on 3/8.
A: Oh ! It looks like an Orange Juice ! Just few clouds and disappear soon.
S: Opening strong aroma is Tangerine, Mandarin Orange. Aroma spread to air from the can.
T: Naturally, Tangerine first with bitter flavor like grapefruits with medium strengthen of sourness.
M:Medium to slightly heavy side. some strong Carbo.
O: Character seems to me a dessert drink. Good IPA but 16Oz is good enough at a time.
If you loke a SOUR style, must be great one.

Rich and intensely fruity. A real pleasure.

Canned on 2/28/2019. Poured into an Industrial Arts pint glass. It pours a turbid, orange-tangerine color with a small eggshell-colored had and thin sheen of lacing. If ever a beer resembled orange juice, then this is it! There's huge tangerine on the nose, along with with grapefruit, light pine, and floral hops. The taste explodes with sour, tart, tangerine, bitter grapefruit rind, and pine needles. I can't determine the hop bill but they bite hard. It finishes with a strong dose of peppery astringency. This may be the most tangerine-forward beer I've ever had. It's full-bodied with lively carbonation, and a punchy 8.5% ABV. Overall, this is mighty good. It's a very different DIPA from Torque Wrench; much fruitier and less refined. But I like it a lot and hope that it's added to the regular IA rotation.

Quite an interesting beer from IA.

Looks like a glass of orange juice. Little head retention and very pungent and bitter tangerine flavor coming through with taste immediately. Not so strong on the nose.

Not as drinkable as Torque Wrench, but a decent offering nonetheless.
