"Thanks for choosing to spend the next few minutes with this special homicidally hoppy ale. Savour the moment as the raging hop character engages the Imperial Qualities of the malt foundation in mortal combat on the battlefields for your tastebuds!"
This is scribed around the border of the logo on the front of the bottle. So to battle we go!
With the sharpness of a bayonette, this IPA lands on the beach of your mouth with an assault of flavours. The fruits and malts tangle in the trenches, with the taste of grape being something that sticks out. Before the final curtain of war has been drawn though, there is a final barrage of hops that flatten the terrain like a strike of napalm.
The Americans seem to have some good IPAs in their arsenal. This is a Californian brewery, and it has recruited not only the normal elements of battle hardened IPAs, but enlisted the help of some merceneries. Orange/citrusy touches and the grape like flavour are what make this unit stand out.
While it might not have won the war, I would back this in to win more battles than it would lose in the world of IPAs.
8/10
