440ml can. Hazy, deep dark yellow-ish, golden colour with small, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Condensed but not overly intense, tropical and slightly citrusy fruity, resinous, hoppy aroma, wheaty and oaty malty background, very homogeneous, almagamated hoppiness, whiffs of peanut. Taste is condensed, citrusy and tropical fruity hoppy, slightly bitter alcoholic, sweet-ish, wheaty and oaty malty basis, some orange, yellow stone fruit, lemon, some zesty bitterness, very homogeneous and amalgamated fruitiness overall; yeasty, peppery spicy overtones, slightly warming, alcoholic finish.
Viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying and greasy palate, medium, soft carbonation.
Not for the first time a TIPA/QIPA that makes no real sense for me, neither in depth or width nor intensity of hop flavours; unnecessary booze.
(As many others) Factory produces a number of exciting, excellent IPAs and DIPAs way better than these high-bred double-digit concentrates.

440ml can from brewery.
Poured deep orange in color, thin head.
Pineapple, mango fruit on a smooth bed. Sweet, but still very drinkable. Solid quadruple. Has some heat though obviously.

Smooth, sweetish and intensely hoppy with some juicy tropical fruits, citrus, floral notes, tangerine, pineapple and lime. Sweet and quite crushable for a QIPA, ABV is well hidden.
