16 oz can poured, shared by Tcon. Thanks! A truly standout imperial. Cloudy, and bright golden pour, no lacing, moderate foam head. A citrus aroma that more or less fills the room when you crack the can. Nice balance of citrus, and smooth grain. Lightly sweet fruit character, Citra like hop follow, extreme refreshment with this imperial. Just an amazing brew here. Ideal after work feature here.

Tasty citra bomb, loads of mandarin, grapefruit, lime zest, and mango, with a modest wet-grain malt undertone and a moderate pine-herbal bitterness in the fade. Alcohol does come through on the finish, giving a slight bite to the texture, but still a good pint.

Draught @ Beer Run (10/31/19). Looks like orange juice with very small frothy whitish head, peach-mango aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter rich orange peel-mango taste, somewhat thick body, long finish. Delicious.

Keg at Brewdog Reading. Murky pale gold with a thin white head. Minimal fizz, and very smooth. Tastes of grass, pine, pineapple creams, a touch of spice. Noticeable alcohol. Grew on me and by the end it was pretty good, but not as wow as the score on here had made me hope for.

16 oz can from Brewdog online. Cloudy golden colour, bubbly white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of tropical fruits, mango, citrusy hop bitterness. Taste is malt caramel, balanced with zesty tropical fruits, mango, peach, floral, citrus, pine hop resiny bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy hoppy bitter finish. Very drinkable DIPA
