Exploring reams of deep, dank space with the Rule of 3 in its DNA, Sparklefluff launches with a payload of smashed summer peaches for cushions of fierce malty fluff behind a force field of hops. Three times dryhopped, triple the hop flavour and thrice the aroma, the 10.2% alcohol by volume of this unfiltered adventure glimmers with the epic glory of Sparklefluff, Galaxy Star Fighter Defender of the Universe

Can from total wine. Orange colored and frothy head. Nose is tropical fruits and sweet candy. Tatses of orange peel, pineapple, green onion, touch of vanilla. Sweet finish. Some booze.

This triple IPA poured a hazy, medium yellow colour with a creamy, bright white head. Nice lacing. Scents include floral, peaches, apricot, pineapple, bubble gum, chlorine and a little spice. First swig was smooth and creamy. Just a point, this was bought accidentally. These over-hopped messes are pretty much undrinkable in my eyes. The strength of the hops is overpowering, maybe after half of it if I can get it down, may kill my tastebuds enough to drink the whole thing.
Flavours of peaches, apricots, pineapple are most prominent. Finish is sweet, thick and bitter. Not to mention acidic. I’m sure this will do wonders for my heartburn.

Can from the lcbo. Opaque yellow pour with a medium white head and a lot of floaters. Aroma is dank, but bright at the same time. Dank green hops, with a perfume of pineapple and mango. Good mouth feel, soft carb. Finish is medium bitter, bit lingers and moves towards high, with a strong citrus pithy. Alcohol comes through as it warms, fruit fades, dank hops finish it off with a nice dose of cereals to add some balance. Much better than expected.

Draft. An unclear dark golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of exotic fruit, oranges, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes exotic fruits, hops, spices, and lemons, leading to a bitter finish.

Can picked up from Beer Republic Webshop Breda Netherlands and consumed at home Thursday 20th October 2022 listening to Steve Lamaq on 6Music, and debating cooking Fish Goujons, Mushy Peas and Chips. Taste is ridiculously strong, hot, full of sediment, not great, pours murky orange with very little to recommend. Drainpour.

473ml can. [As Sparklepuff, Galaxy Starfighter Defender of the Universe]. Pours a hazy gold-orange with plenty of particulate in suspension and a small, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of pale malt, peach, tangerine, mango and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of biscuity pale malt, apricot, peach, tangerine, orange, pineapple and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter, warming alcohol finish. Medium body with a sticky, oily texture and soft carbonation. Juicy, not bad.

Opalescent pale yellow colour, medium sized creamy white head which lasts for several minutes; aroma of peachy, citrusy, piney, wine cellary, slight wild yeasty-acetic acidy and minimal acetone notes; taste is quite similar to the aroma with some orange notes; not bad though I expected a bit more...it's strange to say in case of an IIPA that it is somehow watery but basically it is the case

Blik gekocht bij Addictee2craftBeer. Het bier heeft een gele iets oranje kleur met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het aroma is fruitig en hoppig. De smaak is fruitig, tropisch en hoppig.
