Avrey's Maharaja Imperial IPAThis bombastic Bengali brew is far from bashful, boasting a bold orange hue and a strong hop flavor. It is creamy, yet carbonated, and less citrusy than your average IPA, instead giving more attention to the often ignored malty beer backbone. The wicked 9.7% ABV has this refreshing concoction bordering on barley wine status. If you're in need of a release, this Tantric Yoga enthusiast will twist your body into a pretzel and ride your chakra wheel till it blows. (A)
