I sampled this at the Co-Op earlier today. I've never met an IPA that I actually liked. This wasn't an exception to that rule either.

The description mentioned malt, so that was an immediate pass for me, but then I read the reviews lololol

UR a sick freak by the sounds of it. Go mix your IPA with antifreeze

That's because beer is made from malt

Old English 40s were malt based as well

If you don't like IPAs, why would you try an Imperial IPA? That's like saying you hate running, but entering a marathon, because maybe you'll like that.

They were free samples, I tried them all. I'm not turning down a free Friday evening pre-drink. I'll start early most days if I got a chance lol.

As my dad always says, Beer is the great equalizer, no matter how rich a man is, he can only drink 30 to 40 per day. Don't waste those on beers you don't like.

Imperial IPAs have a lot more residual sugar than IPAs, which hides the hop bitterness, but still allows the other hop flavors to come through. A lot of people like imperial IPAs who don’t like regular IPAs for this reason

But they have enough alcohol to clearly taste. Which very few beer drinkers prefer.

We need meetings and iron on patches I can sew unto my douche bag, canvas, messenger bag I hang on the back of my seat down at the local coffee shop hangout. I just want people to think I'm more cultured and better than them....

At 3.43 average rating on Untapped, that's a hard no... Maybe for a buck a can I'd give it a try.

So much of what Grand Teton does is so good too - sorry to hear this is a miss. These days I'm no longer a fan of strong beer like this so I wasn't going to pick it up but I had figured it would be good if you like that style.

Imperial IPAs are just Steel Reserve for dudes with pointy mustaches

u/Frmr-drgnbyt 1d ago

I've never been a fan of IPAs, but this one has more flavor than most.

Not saying it's "good" flavor, mind you....

u/altaltaltaltaltalt7 1d ago

So the extra flavor isn’t good ?
