Day 279-Beer 279 Imperial Compass, Southern Tier Brewing Co. Lakewood< New York

This one is an APA with a little additive to spice it up.. Rose Hips. It's also a strong one at 9%ABV.  It poured a golden orange colour with lots of head and carbonation bubbles that left only a small amount of lacing. The aroma was lots of citrus, grapefruit, orange zest with some sweet overtones of honey. The flavour is very sweet for an APA lots of honey up front with a background of grapefruit and floral hops finishing with only a slight bitterness that is than overtaken by sweet malts and the taste of alcohol. Not the best example of an APA and I am not sure where the rose hips fit in 3.4 out of 5.
