Murky orange color with large frothy head. The aroma of piney hops is immediate, then followed by fruits, including sweet orange, mango, hint of lichee and other tropical fruits. Round mouthfeel, robust, with the perfect level of sweetness; the flavour is just a bit flour-y, but the crisp malt is a good canvas for the juicy hops, loads of oranges, zesty, traces of tropical fruits, mandarin, and some piney hops in the final; mild astringency and chicory too in the late final.
Even fresher than I expected, wonderful.

Murky bright blond color. Orange, mango and tangerine juiciness; I think that when it was one week old it was fruitier and more pungent; after 6-7 weeks it's still fruity but there are other components too, yeast esters for example; the body is well structured, this is the kind of (light) sweetness I like in an IPA; as often happens in Boombox beer, the chalk is a bit too evident, distracting, and the final is lightly astringent.
Excellent.
