Ace of Spades

No, not the Motorhead song, the H.U.B. Imperial IPA

Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB), Portland, Oregon
22oz bottle, 9.5%abv

Pours dark gold, clear, with little head.

Aroma is crazily hoppy. There may be some malt too, but it's all about hops.

Flavor is also extremely hoppy. Again, malt is there, but hops are the dominant flavor.

Mouthfeel is pleasantly light and crisp, especially considering the strength. It's quite drinkable, which is both nice and a bit dangerous.

Finish is quite bitter, as you may expect.

A really tasty beer, assuming you like hops (like me) -- if you don't, avoid this at all costs, you may be scarred for life otherwise...
