Smells like pined-hops. Tastes somewhat green and herbal to go with the nice hop taste. Finishes with a faint toffee-syrupy quality along with a quickly ending hop.

Strong malt backend really helps offset whatever 150-odd IBUs are claimed by this beer. I found the finish only mildly bitter and the fragrance and flavor, while strong, were not over the top. Solid Imperial IPA, even if that's not my main thing.
