Rogue Colossal Claude Imperial India Pale Ale.
8.2 % ABV. 75 IBU. Rogue Ales, Newport, OR.
Clear, bright golden hue, large, lush ivory head.
In the nose: Hoppiness abounds in the aromatics. Bold citrus and pine. Fruity, flowery, lovely.
In the mouth: Bright, bold, brisk, and dank as it gets. Sticky-icky. Juicy. Candied apricots, orange, grapefruit, passionfruit, tangerine. Stone fruit meets citrus a deep well of resiny hoppitude. Smooth and delicious. Medium bodied, long, hoppy finish, rich and tasty. This one's got the goods.
I picked up a 6-pack of this because I adore a 6-pack (72 ounces) for only $12. I fell for it at first sip. I'd gladly return for more. This one shot to the top of my list of favorite double IPAs.
It's been a few decades since a Colossal Claude sighting has been reported, but we're fairly certain the massive sea monster has been laying low off the coast of his favorite brewery. Word has it that after years of terrifying sailors and feasting on salmon he acquired a taste for hops. So we brewed this Imperial IPA with a colossal dose of Cascade, Chinook, Citro and Strata hops in hope of coaxing Claude out to join us for a pint.
