Part of Leinie's "Big Eddy" series of exception beers, the Imperial IPA is the latest offering (although I saw mention of a Baltic Porter on their website that has not been offered in Lincoln yet). Pours a deep ripe apricot hue with a teeny-weeny head with a strong whiskey-like aroma and taste. Floral hops are balanced by pineapple, orange and even a little butterscotch. A little bit of pine and grapefruit, but not as much as one might expect from an "imperial" (or double) IPA. As it warmed up a bit I detected some honey and brown sugar. Overall a superior brew.
