Author: Sudz | Filed under: News

Name: 20th Anniversary Imperial IPA

Brewery: Anderson Valley

Overall Rating: B+
Style: Imperial India Pale Ale
Serving Style:22oz
ABV: 8.7% ABV

IBU:NA Units

Price: $7.95

Aroma:: A slight hoppiness with strong pineapple/citrus notes combine with a pleasing piney scent.

Appearance: :Relatively clear, beautiful amber’ish hues, good head retension.

Flavor: Upfront, it’s well balanced and smooth with a great blend of hoppiness and citrus fruitiness. The pine notes come in toward the finish as a light bitterness wraps up each taste.

Mouthfeel: medium body, slightly chewy with delicious lingering hop flavors.. leaves a nice coating on your tongue.

Enjoyability: This is a solid Imperial IPA. Probably not a chart topper. Definitely worth checking out if you havent had it before. This is probably my 3rd time trying it and I’ve enjoyed each time.. Not for the amature beer drinker!
