Battle stations, battle stations! Man the Torpedoes, Atomic Torpedo, Imperial IPA from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. This IPA is 9.2% ABV with Honey and Two-Row Pale malts. Cascade, Centennial, Magnum, and Mosaic hops with Ale yeast are also brewed into this big IPA. Atomic Torpedo is an imperial version of their Torpedo IPA. This big IPA pours light orange with a one-finger white head. The aroma is fruity, orange, and bitter. The flavor is piney, bitter, and orange flavored. The orange flavor is not really strong, but flavorful enough. Atomic Torpedo has a somewhat light feeling in the mouth. Then, it has a piney, strong, and light-fruited finish with a nice bitter pine aftertaste. This does not feel as boozy as it is for a 9.2% imperial IPA. That is a plus and why you should drink Sierra Nevada Atomic Torpedo. I give this an A+ It has well-rounded and delicious flavors without feeling overly aggressive in the alcohol department. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
