Epic Brewing Co. - Imperial IPA 22oz

Imperial IPAs, or double IPAs, are deep gold to deep amber in color and range in alcohol from 7.5-10% or so. These beers are medium-to-full bodied and are distinguished by prominent American hop aromas, flavors and an abrasive, lingering hop bitterness. These intense hop characteristics should be balanced by a rich malt backbone. Depending on the varieties of hops used, a wide range of flavors including tart citrus peel, pepper and earthy, pine-like flavors and aromas may be encountered. These ales represent a challenge to brewers in terms of balance and drinkability, and have exploded in popularity in recent years with many craft breweries producing a version of the style.

This Imperial IPA is the epitome of Epic's IPAs. This hard hitting brew manages to pack a punch while still providing that fantastically complex IPA flavor. Slightly floral aromas hit the nose while resinous flavors dominate the body, finishing with the ideal palate cleansing bitterness. Hazy copper orange color. Aromas and flavors of tarragon honey, grilled citrus and root vegetables with a supple, dryish medium-to-full body and a bitter papaya-banana custard, pine, pepper and mineral accented finish. Very well balanced and flavor packed.
