A blast from the past Imperial / West Coast style IPA. Massive aroma hopping and an intensely bitter hop profile all balanced with a caramel sweetness from a touch of crystal malt. This imperial IPA is heavily hopped in the kettle, whirlpool and dry-hopped with Centennial (dynaboost and hyperboost), Amarillo and Simcoe hyperboost (at 16g/l).

Can. Near clear amber beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, smooth, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Light malts, touches of creamy sweetness and caramel. Trad West Coast peely citrus, pleasingly bright and juicy here. Orange, mandarin and tangerine. Cooling pine and a very mild hop spice nip on the close. A fairly bright and breezy West Coaster. Goes down with great ease!

440ml can @ Benzai's Anti-Carnival Valentine's Day Tasting, Feb 26. Porus a slightly unclear amber, pure white head. Lovely, not creamy as expected from the name.. just a nice hoppy West Coast with an accompanying malty sweet base and a nod to more exotic climes hop-wise.

Can shared at Anti-Carnavalstasting 2026. Darker orange color, average sized white to off-white head. Aroma and flavor is malts, hops, but the hop seems off in a way. Hard to describe. Unfresh. No, not a fan.

Appearance is clear amber, with a beige foamy head. Aroma is raisiny malt, orange, citrus fruit, fruitcake, marmalade. Taste is orangey hops, sweet fruit, malt, marmalade, bitter hops and some malt in the background. Tasty old-fashioned affair.

Can from Against The Grain. Hazy deep golden body with an off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of mango and biscuit. Flavour of burnt orange and dried mango. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A straightforward DIPA that drinks well for the ABV.

Can via the online shop. Clear bronze gold. Slim sticky fairly leggy white foam. Thought on first sniff this might be oxidised somewhat, but actually it’s probably the caramalt. Pine and old English marmalade. Bit of wood polish. You get the idea. Taste is sweet and sticky with a huge bosh of pine resin bitterness. Sticky on the palate too although I’d guess sub 8%. Lingering piny sappy bitterness to finish. Dunno with this. It’s a good beer but I’m sure there’s a bit of oxidation going on. Be interested to see if anyone else ticks it.
