Despite Imperial tag and boastful “double the malts and hops” of Big Daddy IPA, sweet fruit-spiced overtones outweigh stylistic hop-forward grapefruit peel bittering for better approachability. Candied apple, honey nut and marzipan spread across the fruited plain, picking up tangy melon, peach, orange and tangerine juicing. Heightened 8.5% alcohol volume never gets above the sensational fruit-juiced flavor profile.
