Our Imperial IPA is a bold and hop-forward beer that's not for the faint of heart. With a light amber color and a dense, creamy head, this beer exudes an enticing aroma of pine, citrus, and tropical fruit. The first sip reveals a burst of intense hop flavor, with notes of grapefruit, orange, and pine.

12 oz. pour on draught at the brewery. Served in a snulip glass. It pours a hazy, bright orange with a half finger cap of creamy, ecru-colored foam and lots of soapy lacing. The smell includes sweet malt, orange peel, red berry, and floral hops. Its taste is dominated by bitter, biting, resinous pine sap that is balanced by sweet, bready malt and tart lemon and grapefruit rind. This ale is well-bodied, plush and creamy with mild carbonation. It's a big drinker at 9.2% ABV. Overall, Big Mike is a very solid, malty, bitter West Coast style IPA. I enjoyed it.
