of cloudy, with nothing more than muddled hops and malt showing through. The body has some malt up front with a very
faint sweetness before the beer starts to become very dry. A decent amount of hops come in through the middle and
the finish is very dry and lingers for quite awhile. Overall, this is a very nice Imperial IPA. While the
beer is bone-dry it is not overwhelming at all and the nose is the only aspect of the beer that holds it back from being
an all-time great. A very, very good beer.
