Hopsickle Imperial India Pale Ale
Pours a dark orange, almost amber, clear with a nice white frothy head. Aroma of massive hops. Oily, piney, some sour orange citrus. Juniper. Very puckerful. Flavor follows through with a dense, heavy mouthfeel of hops. Strong alcohol bite and pungent oils. I don't mean to be insensitive, but the swallow of the beer is followed by a dose of hop-infused saliva that is just not enjoyable. This one is just too much of a good thing. I'm having a hard time finishing the bomber, not sure I want to. It's very interesting for what it is, but I just can't take the overpowering hops. This one starts well enough, but it's not for me.
