20 oz. Bottle
This beer pours a beautiful golden towards the bottom and gets to be more of an amber towards the top of the glass. Carbonation is incredibly present visually, topping off with a lacing of white head. Off the nose I'm getting not too much hop which is surprising though there is a bit of pine beneath the mango and pineapple flavors, maybe even a bit of lemon. I'm starting to find that I like the smell of a great Imperial IPA (this and Sucks) almost as much as the smell of any other beer, if not more.

There is a good amount of hop (bitterness and pine) to this beer. But it is really well balanced by the fruit flavors that accompany it - primarily the pineapple and mango. Wow these flavors are all really strongly present. There a bit of citrus in there, but these fruit flavors definitely are cameo appearances compared to the rich, sweet, tangy tropical notes of the pineapple and mango. Carbonation is moderately evident. The beer finished quite dryly, as most hoppy beers, but your mouth will be watering from the strength of the tropical flavors.
A really solid beer with really strong flavors that pop in your mouth. Both the flavors of the hops and the tropical fruits linger for a while after drinking the beer - with the fruit flavor hitting you with a stronger burst on the sip and then slowly receding to let a really nice bitter pine hop flavor take the lead - both sticking around in waning degrees for quite some time.
Definitely recommend this one if you can find it, especially with the $8 price tag.
