Giant aromas of pineapple and tropical fruit jump from this enticingly complex double IPA. True to its name, this brew delivers a heavy smack of dry hops and a double dose of bitterness in the finish.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal luppolo. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta opalescente. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo e ananas.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is citrus, pineapple, mild herbs as well as some mango notes. Flavour is mango, some floral, fruity and wooden tones with a bit lactose too. Not that much bitterness. Fresh, but I'd like more bitterness if it wanted to be an IPA.

Pineapple and light marmelade. Hazy golden pour with decent head. Tangerine. More of a NEIPA really. Light hop tang finish but green onion, wet grass are light. Some bitterness, pine. Can.

Keg at Brewdog Paddington, London. A hazy golden/orange coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, orange, mango, tropical fruit aroma. Tastes similar rich and slightly malty with a delightful resinous finale. This was so moreish and complex, I didn't want it to end. Excellent DIPA from Toppling Goliath.

Hazy yellow pour. It has a hoppy aroma with grapefruit and oranges. The flavor is moderately bitter and very citrusy. There's a big malt backbone. It doesn't indicate anywhere that it's a hazy/NE ipa, but it certainly seems like it. Very good though.

Can at Toppling Goliath online tasting. Hazy orange color with huge white head. Aroma of citrus hops with oranges, pines, resin, zest, light yeast. Clear fruity hoppy taste with oranges, pineapples, other tropical fruits, zest, pines. Alcohol is well hidden. Long fruity hoppy finish. Nice.

Murky golden color with medium white head. Aroma: pine, earthy, mango, sweet malty. Taste: pineapple, mango, resin, sweetish malty. Medium to full body, moderate carbonation, high bitterness. Rich in hops, bit harder to drink, still excellent.

Incredible DIPA, pretty much everything you want in the style. Giant sweet notes of pineapple, peach, mandarin, candied grapefruit peel, and lime, backed up by notes of pine, minerals, and a gentle bitterness on the finish. Absolutely delicious. So good.
