Drake's Denogginizer

A quick whiff of a freshly poured glass of this Imperial IPA will fill your nose with dew coated grass and a cool tropical breeze. Its color is solid amber and it holds a creamy white head that leads the way to an easy drinking yet flavorful brew. It's more reminiscent of a barleywine than an IPA and its blend of fruitiness gives it a significantly east coast vibe. The taste doesn't quite live up to the initial smell that seems to disguise a light malty funkiness. Another helping of hops would definitely serve this beer well, as in true Drake's tradition it slightly misses the bulls-eye. It feels like a fairly decent NYC chick transplanted to LA who falls into the unfortunate trap of the latest hipster fashions and dampens what hotness she has with stretch pants, skinny headbands, and slotted sunglasses. I mean, you'd totally still do her, but not quite as enthusiastically as you'd like. She probably won't notice though, cuz you totally remind her of that dude from MGMT. (B+)
