Summit Imperial IPA. Proudly Brewed in St. Paul, Minnesota. 8.5% ABV.
Clear, bright golden color, active carbonation, slight layer of ivory foam above.
In the nose: Ah, nice. Citrus and tropical tones, tangerines and grapefruit, with a splash of pine. Sightly resinous, a little on the juicy.
In the mouth: Lands beautifully on the palate, dropping fruit. and moderate bitterness. A little bit of berry to match the citrus and tropical, hitting all the right notes. Medium bodied, fully flavored. Lasting hop bitterness, increasingly likable. I don't like it quite as much as their last Double IPA, but like it I do.
The baddest beast on the block, Summit Imperial IPA will batter your senses with immense aromas of tangerine, stone fruit, melon and lemon — all thanks to powerful all-American hop additions both in the kettle and the fermentation tank. Weighing in at 8.5% ABV and 105 IBU, the imperial offers clean bitterness and a medium body with supporting malt notes of caramel and toast.
