The Imperial’s tropical nose draws you in with bushels of lupulin-laced fruit aromas. The cone quartet creates a tangy, sweet sip of tangerine and grapefruit tones that blend into berry and papaya notes. And it’s all carried across your palate by a malty caramel backbone.

As the crisp, resinous finish leaves you buzzing, you might break into the chorus of “Rocky Mountain High” — that’s the 8.5% ABV at work!
