Notes:
Harpoon Leviathan Imperial IPA will challenge your senses and your palate. As the vibrant aroma rushes out of your glass you will notice the blend of piney and tropical fruit notes. At first sip, this big beer starts with a powerful hop bitterness up front and an aggressive hop flavor and character throughout.
Leviathan Imperial IPA is brewed with tons of pale malt and just enough caramel malt to provide a sweet malt body to balance the hop intensity. We used copious amounts of a variety of hops including Chinook, Centennial, Simcoe, and Amarillo at various points during the boil to create a complex hop flavor and clean lingering bitter finish. We then fermented the beer with Harpoon’s own versatile proprietary yeast. Finally, we dry hopped at a rate of over 1 lb a barrel to produce this beer’s massive aroma.

Pours a light copper, barely dark twinge. Solid 2 fingers of considerably thick head considering body color. Ample lacing.
Citrus, pine, grapefruit, light malt. Almost smell some yeast in there, not in a bad way. Floral, some bitter/grass.
Yummy malt, bittering hops, alcohol. Lots of different hops. My amateur guess would be ample cascade, liberty, and saaz. Boy do those hops sit on the back of your throat.
Nice finish, bitter and malty on the tongue. Great body. Alcohol present in a good way. 10% tasting, but great for a DIPA.
Love it. 10% isnt for everyone, but this is a great option. For perfection, maybe a little more body and malt.
