To be immodest one has to lack humility and decency. With our Immodest Imperial IPA, we achieved just that! Obscene use of Citra and Simcoe hops will attack your senses with bright citrus fruit, balanced with earthy pine notes. The indecency doesn't stop there, as it packs a wallop at 9.5% but you won't notice because it drinks so remarkably smooth. Don't worry, your modesty isn’t needed here!

Can from the LCBO with a 9% ABV. Pours a cloudy golden-amber colour with a warm cap, good retention and loads of thick foamy lacing. Aromas of full citrus and tropical fruits. Again in the taste, all very well-balanced with a soft dry bitterness in the finish. Grapefruits, oranges, very mild caramel. Yep, could drink many of these, as very nicely brewed.

At Arrow and Loon. From a can, pours a fair amount of frothy white head and has a pale golden appearance. Fairly excessive carbonation. Dirty lacing. Aromas are quite hoppy, citrus and floral hops abound. Flavours are mainly citrus, piney and grassy hops. Also some note of floral hops. Nice bitterness on the palate, blends well with sweetness. Great retention. Good stuff.

Glad to see this one back. Now sold in cans at the brewery. Says to enjoy as soon as possible, so I am. Pours a hazy orange with a good sized head, retains well. Excellent lacing. Nose is citrus and floral. Flavour is f.....g great. Huge citrus taste, pine and a bit floral. This is perfectly balanced with a malt backing. Almost a full oily mouthfeel. Not surprised this won a gold medal. I would like to try this on tap. Come and get it you surfers.

750ml bottle – pours a rich hazy orange with a 2 finger white puffy cap which laces the glass unmercifully. Big aroma on this – pungent citrus-apricot bouquet over malt redolence and earthyness. Sturdy mouth feel, medium-dense body rich smooth silken rounded discernment with a bright hoppy-fruity character – for a DIPA this is rare but welcome. Flavour has a massive dose of non-cloying malt in fair balance with big pine-citrus-apricot hopping, the hopping on this big IPA is big but pleasant (85 IBU is tame by radical standards but it works here due to great balance and choice of hops and malts), no enamel-melting alpha madness here. The finish is long and rich with some increased bittering. Not a hint of the alcohol strength in aroma or flavor. The label warns against cellaring this big ale, I think that’s sound advice – you have all the elements that aging gives present in this big pale ale – smooth and rounded, alcohol hidden, good amalgamation of flavor. I suspect if you were to age this you would lose the bright citrus-apricot hoppy edge to it. All in all one of the best DIPAs I’ve sampled – big, balanced, ready to drink.
