This is a little earthier and complex than a lot of its sub-Imperial strength peers, possessing an interesting and unexpected musty swagger from sip to finish. Those with a taste for IPA's with obvious and dominant hop nectar like characteristics, will likely find this effort a little ill-defined. The broader of palate though should find plenty to savor and enjoy in this stand up hoppy offering.
