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.

Bottled 650ml (Alko web, ABV 7.1%, bottled 27.9.2017)
Murky yellow colour, small white head. Juicy citrus and pineapple in the nose. Medium-bodied. Juicy flavour too: pineapple, citrus and mango. Good balanced NEIPA. Still after 4½ months in a good condition. Not really DIPA if ABV is 7%.

very hazy golden to orange colour, large and quite stable creamy yellowish white head; aroma of pineapple juice, tropical fruity and pine notes, as well as some celery; taste has the same notes with biscuity-malty sweetness and devastating resiny bitterness; amazing IIPA!

(Bottle, 0.65 l - bottled on 27.9.2017 - 7.1% ABV, from Alko, 20180212) The beer poured orange and cloudy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, tangerine, grapefruit and pineapple. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, citricness, pineapple, tangerine, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity, hoppy and bitter. A brew with too unpleasant looks but nice aroma and taste.

650ml bottle. Murky, orangey golden colour with average, frothy , half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Extremely fruity, juicy, citrusy and tropical fruity, slightly piney, hoppy aroma, notes of pineapple, grapefruit, lemon, passion fruit, mango. Taste is crisp, biting, bitter hoppy, fruity, minimally dry and woody notes of pineapple, some tropical fruit, some candied orange zest, slightly sweet, minimally sugary, caramel malty backbone. Very good DIPA: and "double" should be read in this case as cuvée with a citrusy and piney West Coast and a citrusy and tropical fruity New England "half".

Bottle @ Anti-Carnavalstasting 2018 shared with Dutchdrebus. Incredibly murky and fucking ugly looking please yellow colored beer with a medium to fill sized white head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is lightly malts, hops, lightly resinous, citrus, slightly grapefruit and piney. Flavor is moderately malty, hops, grapefruit lightly, citrus and tropical fruits lightly, nicely bitter, hop bitter. Medium body and carbonation. Quite lovely.
