Fort Collins The Incredible Hop

The Incredible Hop Imperial India Pale Ale is from the Fort Collins Brewery of Fort Collins, Colorado. The beer pours a deep and dark amber and copper. There is an inch of thick and creamy off-white head. The aroma is fruity, lots of orange, along with plum and light strawberry, over a noticeable malt base that is roasted, toasted, caramel and a bit nutty. The taste follows the aromas directly. The flavor puts the malt a bit ahead of the hops. It is very nice tasting, but on the malty side for an IIPA. Their website this comes out in April and I found it in October, so perhaps it is not hop fresh. Either way it is nice tasting.
