This full-bodied, hazy double IPA is Citra-hopped with a juicy combination of mango, orange, and pineapple flavors finishing with a grapefruit aroma and ferocious bite.

Can from Beyond Beer online. Floral aroma with citrus and some underlying grass and resin. Hazy pale yellow orange. Towering foamy white head. Sweet juicy citrus which gains bitterness into the finish. Boozy syrupyness. A soft sweetness throughout. Medium bodied. Thick. vverage-fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. Really hits the spot. Great juicy stuff.

16oz can dated 8/19/19 pours a cloudy dull peach light tan. Big dense fluffy white head. Terrific big fresh citrus pithiness in the aroma from the second I cracked the can open. Lot of similar fresh hop flavors, lingering bitterness. Clean finish. Terrific

Ridiculously deep and super pungent hazy golden coloured body with a raw honey glow, a thick, three centimetre tall pure white head atop nothing but haze - very nice. Aroma of grass, citrus, candy, yeast, alcohol and a dose of floral and tropical fruity hops - very nice and aromatic throughout. Medium to Full-bodied; Super strong sweet and juicy flavours up front with a dash of bitter citrus fruits showing some grapefruit and light juicy pears with a lot of bitterness from the hops, but in a very nice and enjoyable way with some dry grassy notes, some herbal resinous flavours and a touch of fructose and fruity hop finishes - all with a large and pungent malt backbone throughout that makes this ridiculously well-balanced, despite all the pungent and strong notes throughout. Aftertaste shows the sugars, pungent hops, light grainy malt, tropical fruits, citrus fruits, pure dank grassy notes and ending with a pleasant yeast bite with some candy sweetness as well. Overall, this one really is amazing - I wanted to not like it and really question how all the beers from Toppling Goliath are rated so highly, but this justifies that - it's one of the best, if not the best Imperial IPA i've had and definitely the best 'Imperial Hazy IPA', which I didn't even know existed/was categorised. I sampled this sixteen ounce can purchased from Carmine Street Beers in New York, New York on 10-June-2019 for US$6,99 (not Omaha, Nebraska for once) sampled at my house in Washington on 15-July-2019.

Pine, grapefruit peel, orange, lime, and malt aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with small white head. Moderately sweet orange, lime, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter earthy pine, grapefruit peel flavor. Great body and balance. Very good.
