Can at home, from J and B Craft Drinks, Amsterdam, 27th November 2025. Pours a milky yellow orange hoppy soup. Aroma is heady, tropical fruits, mangos and pineapple. Taste is super smooth, mangoes, banana, pineapple, dry, little sign of the ABV and this is red wine strength, it’s a heavy hitter and you can feel it. As a novelty I’m impressed, but we seem to be getting more of these massive IPA, TIPAs and now QUADs - a battle to impress, I think this is probably as good as it gets at 13% for an IPA

Can (8/18/25) from the brewery. Opaque, milky yellow with light sparkle, thin head with fair retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong white grape, mild vegetal/herb, healthy malt backbone, hint of pineapple rind. Taste follows aroma with slightest alcohol astringency, flavor. Smooth, soft texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation, mostly malty finish. Impressive to brew a 13% IPA without a ton of alcohol presence or super malty, as a technical feat. Beyond that, as noted below, don't need a massive quad IPA.

Canned 8/19/25, drunk 10/12/25, compliments of tfontana. Thanks, Tom!
Turbid, pale-bronze-maize. Big, off-white head, dense and well-retained.
Intense aroma of white grape, mineral (sulfur-tinged) and unripe citrus with not-overdone/sugary malts to balance. Pomelo and light black pepper with some indication of the alcohol, but no raw/sharp/overt alcohol notes.
Big, rich, inevitably on the sweet side, but not cloying or syrupy and with no hot alcohol. Big melon notes with pineapple, mango and papaya galore. Rich, thick, chewy, dense malts, but pretty good attenuation on it. Low bitterness with the alcohol helping to dry things out, as well.

Well, ok, you made a 13% IPA...why? It's a well-made beer and all, so that's great, but they've designed a 13% abv beer to drink like a 9 or 10% abv beer. So you can what? Get extra fucked up without it tasting like a higher abv beer?

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you! Aroma is bold citrus and leafy green hop cones. Flavor shows a lot of citrus fruit mixed with pineapple. Leafy green hops are an undercurrent. The alcohol is pretty hidden. But I mean for the love of God does anyone need a 13% quadruple IPA?

Pours a hazy, banana-orange, with smallish head. Aroma is a bit muted, with notes of tropical fruit and citrus. Flavor is more pronounced--citrus and tropical fruit, with an underlying sweetness. The ABV is very well-hidden on this one. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Mild hop bitterness in the finish. This is how to make a quad!
