Nelson Brewing: Full Nelson (Imperial IPA, Nelson)

Cloudy brownish amber, half finger creamy head, lots of lacing. Nose is sharp, traditionally Cascadian hop blend. Lots of citrus, decent pale malt, no pine or soap. Mouth has creamy malt and anis to balance comparatively medium hop attack. Nice body, no alcohol flavour. Mild finish. Not a hop monster by any means, but a satisfying imperial.

Seasoned brew heads certainly won't be offended, finding a slightly off-market cousin to Dogfish Head.

Pairing: The House Of Usher, "Pandora's Box". Slightly richer and more eyebrow-raising release from genre staples.
