Colossal Claude is an Imperial IPA from Rogue Ales, the pioneering craft brewery based in Newport, Oregon. This beer is part of Rogue's 'Monsters of IPA' series, named after Colossal Claude—a legendary creature from Pacific Northwest folklore.

At 8.2% ABV and 75 IBUs, this hazy Imperial IPA delivers a substantial blend of citrus and hop bitterness. The brewers employed Cascade, Chinook, Citra and Strata hops to create an aroma rich with grapefruit and tropical fruit notes. The malt backbone provides support with a medium-full body and slightly syrupy mouthfeel.

Bitterness is well balanced against the fruity character. This is an Imperial IPA that lives up to its name—a brew with genuine punch and monster-worthy presence.
