COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONDeadlift Imperial IPA is unlike any Imperial IPA you’ve ever lifted from the beer aisle. It has the strong hop flavor you’d expect from an Imperial IPA but no heaviness that could weigh down your desire to take another sip. The unique flavor stems in part from Nelson Sauvin hops imported from New Zealand. Deadlift’s other component, a simple but fully braced malt backbone muscles up enough malty sweetness and caramel character to spot the incredibly robust hop flavor and aroma.
Deadlift Imperial IPA uses Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand’s best hop growing region: South Island’s Nelson. This region produces some of the most flavorful hops found anywhere. These hops have an intense citrus, fruity, berry-like aroma and flavor that makes them unique. The result will surely be a welcome workout for your taste buds.

FROM THE MOUTH: IMPERIAL/DOUBLE IPA: TOP DOG- --the ease with which this is drunk is a little scary. The blend is very crisp and smooth. First swig is malty citrus sweet but quickly turns to a great hoppy bitterness but not too harsh or scalding. Lots of citrus like sweetness coming through. Wow. Balanced, smooth, tasty. Great beer. This has 70 IBU's!!!!!!!!!!!! Very nicely blended. A++
I checked out this guys FUN youtube- he is right on!
FROM THE STORE: Just about any store in this area ( except Trader Joe's) will carry this beer.
