The brewery operates as a production-focused outfit with a rotating portfolio of hop-centric ales, releasing beers like That Tingle in Your Spine as part of its ongoing Imperial IPA program. Imperial IPAs in this range are typically brewed with significant dry-hop additions layered across multiple stages of fermentation and conditioning, producing the dense aromatics and elevated bitterness that define the style at this ABV level.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose on an Imperial IPA at this strength typically opens with a resinous, dank hop character followed by tropical fruit and citrus peel.
