Pryes Imperial India Pale Ale

Pryes Imperial India Pale Ale. 9.1% ABV. 114 IBU. Pryes Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Murky burgundy hue, utterly opaque, dark crimson, with a lasting, stable, spotted creamy head.

In the nose: bigness. richness. Brash and ballsy. Huge fruit and alcohol presence.

In the mouth: huge malt impression on the palate, along with a blistering barrage of massive hops. Citrus and pine aplenty. Big alcohol burn. Incredible sweetness matched by big blast of bitter. Brutal and beautiful at once.

Citrus, Warm, Bitter 

This beer starts off with grape fruit / citrus which is what we expect to get out of a IPA. In the middle we get a sense of warmth from the 9% ABV. On the tail end is filled with orange and a little bit of pine flavors.
