Where this comes from
Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data
From the label“Our Imperial IPA sails in with a modern hop profile of Simcoe and Citra. Expect a vibrant aroma of grapefruit and lime layered with tropical mango and passionfruit notes, anchored by Simcoe's pine and earthy backbone. Bold in flavor yet beautifully balanced, this crisp, easy-drinking IPA is crafted for smooth seas and big horizons.”
