ABV: 7.8% IBU: 100 Ticks: 83
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.

Can. Murky golden body. Frothy white head. Aroma of orange juice, citrus peach, pineapple. Sweet intro, moderate to heavily bitter finish. Medium body, moderately oily texture, lively carbonation. Flavors of bitter orange peel, mango, tropical fruit, citrus. Lightly sour and lightly peppery alcohol. A bit of a mishmash of flavors, but overall a nice double IPA.

Crowler from BD Inverurie. It pours cloudy rich golden with a frothy white head. The aroma is rich, sticky and tropical, pineapple, papaya, peach, mango, passion fruit, fruit punch and floury bread. The taste is slick, rich, oily, dry bitterness, some green weedy action at the beginning, pithy, zesty citrus, mango, papaya, pineapple, passion fruit, resin, pine, floury bread, some spice and just a hint of alcohol with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Flavourful stuff. Moreish.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clearish gold with white foam. Big crushed pineapple aromas with some dank and pith notes. Dried pineapple and tangerine on the palate. Smooth and great balance. ABV hidden well. Another TG hit.

Tall can. Hazy yellow with a white head. Tropical fruit aroma with pineapple, mango and citrus. The flavor is juicy fruit with firm bitterness that's a bit on the coarse side, but certainly not off putting. Full bodied.

Pour is a murky yellow with a small white head. Aroma is passion fruit and mango fresh fruity hops. Flavor is pineapple and sweet tropical fruit. Thick mouthfeel with a decent bitterness for this style of IPA. This is fantastic stuff. The beer as a whole is great but the aroma is the best thing about it.
