The Fits

◎ Appearance

The Fits presents a pale golden hue with bright clarity and substantial carbonation that produces a dense, creamy head. Lacing clings persistently to the glass, forming fine, even rings with each sip. The body carries a luminous quality typical of well-attenuated Imperial IPAs.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus—grapefruit and pineapple dominate—layered beneath resinous pine and subtle tropical melon notes. Simcoe, Centennial, Citra and Columbus hops deliver penetrating aromatics with a herbal, slightly waxy character. Subtle barley malt underpins the composition without overwhelming the hop-forward profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and citrus-forward, with grapefruit and stone fruit balancing a prominent but measured bitterness. Mid-palate reveals piney, resinous character alongside residual sweetness from barley malt and dextrose, creating fullness and slight alcoholic warmth at 9% ABV. The bitterness integrates cleanly, neither sharp nor overwhelming.

◑ Finish

The finish is sustained and dry, with lingering citrus and herbal-resinous notes that fade gradually into a clean, slightly warming aftertaste. No harsh alcohol burn emerges despite the Imperial strength.
