Our Tastes-- The Incredible Hop

Fort Collins Brewery released a series of 4 high gravity, high hopped brews with Imperial India Style Wheat Ale being one of them. Pours an amazing light blonde color and soft white head. The aroma jumps out of the bottle with the explosion of citrus from the hop additions. With the taste comes a nice bitterness that envelopes the tongue only to have what almost appears as the wheat protein taste down the center of it. Any drinker of wheat beers will recognize this characteristic because of the almost universal occurrence of this particular flavor in the overall wheat profile. I've noticed an inclination to hop all things/recipes which is fine because I've spent a lot of years "in the dark" and have started enjoying more hopped-up brews in an effort to identify different hop varieties. This one is especially interesting with it's wheat grain base and piney, chewy hop profile. Not sure what they used,  but some Big Cs had to play a part. Maybe Centennial. I'll give due notice to the 9.5% abv and though it's a great beer, I'd buy it again but won't be hoarding it.
