Flying Dog The Truth Imperial IPA

 Flying Dog The Truth Imperial IPA.

8.7 % ABV. 80 IBU. 

Flying Dog Brewery, Frederick, Maryland. 


Clear, bright golden hue, slim white head. 

In the nose: Candied fruit, big citrus, high alcohol. 

In the mouth: Big blast of bitterness attacks the palate, huge citrus, grapefruit and orange, some tangerine and pineapple, too. Piney. Juicy. Big bitterness. Has what it takes, in spades. Delicious, and delirious. Medium-bodied, long-lasting finish, tasting great.

Once more, I'm taking notes on the final bottle, having enjoyed the previous five. I would pick this up again. Thoroughly delightful. 

Developed alongside over a dozen Single-Hop Imperial IPAs. The truth was three years in the making and has some of the most unique hop varieties available today.

The Truth's sharp hop bitterness begins with pine on the nose and evolves into bright citrus and subtle stone fruit flavors. Pair this beer with sharp cheddar cheese and light, spicy proteins.
