Bent Paddle Pordij Imperial Pale Ale. 8.2% ABV, 70 IBU. Bent Paddle Brewing, Duluth, MN.Lightly hazy, bright golden hued, fresh ivory head.
In the nose: A blast of citrusy hop notes, big orange, grapefruit, tangerine,. Fruity, fresh, sweet, citric, bitter.
In the mouth: Big bitterness on the palate, at first. Fresh fruitiness. A blast of bitter hop flavors on the palate, then cool and even. Brisk, bitter, beautiful. Not hoppy enough, I guess, to be an IPA, just a big ol', strong ol' Imperial Pale Ale. I'm enjoying this one all the way down.
