Brother Benjamin Imperial IPA

Greenbush Brewing Company's Brother Benjamin

Imperial IPA brewed with honey

Pouring reddish amber with good head retention, this imperial IPA has strikingly strong floral notes that seem to waft out of the glass straight to my nose. This is a very bitter beer but is beautifully balanced with a very strong American hop flavor and aroma. Overall this is an incredibly delectable beer that I would seek out as a wonderful example of an imperial IPA. Probably my favorite Imperial IPA so far.
