Chico, California - Imperial/Double IPA - 10.40% ABV - This hop-forward DIPA poured a clear, copper-gold color with a frothy white head that leaves excellent lacing on the glass. The nose featured distinct aromas of resinous pine, dank pineapple, fresh mango, and caramel malts that tickle the senses. The mouth was solid; flavors of citrus, juicy pineapple, sticky pine, and bitter malts create a great DIPA taste. Hoptimum has a medium-plus bodied mouthfeel, with a long, hoppy finish that lingers around the mouth for quite some time. This year's release of Hoptimum is just as good as it always is; pure hoppy dankness. Cheers to another great brew by Sierra Nevada! 9.3/10
