An American-style IPA brewed with 100% Irish malt. Pine and citrusy grapefruit are balanced by a full, malt backbone. Very pale with a slight hop haze from high levels of dry hopping. Fruity aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit and orange. The flavour is equally fruity, with a soft mouthfeel and a balanced finish.

can intense resiny syrupy strong bitter hoppy aroma, good malty base, although hops are totally dominant. at times, honey notes. solid hoppy one, this one. love it. full bodied. Flavor is flowery hoppy, super well balanced nutty malty base, notes of honey once again (not sweet honey). In the end it is a tiny bit too much like strong european macro beers, but it is much better than those anyways - the hops carry the beer well. If someone wanted to make an european style ale with american levels of hoppiness, they would wish they ended up around here.

Yellow colour with light haze and lasting soapy head. Aroma and flavour have some citrus elements. Candied lemon. A little pithy bitterness but not dry and bitter enough overall.

330ml can from Monster and Beer, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light toffee caramel, resin hops, light citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter, moderate sweet, with a rich, wet hop, tropical citrus, big woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. A big hop bomb.
