[12oz can from Beer52 at 7% ABV.] A hazy amber pour with a loose white head; muted tropical fruit aroma; tropical fruit taste with a thick creamy body; and some fresh grapefruit to finish. Good, but not overly impressive, not really living up to its name.

355ml can via Beer52 (7% ABV) BBE Sep 2021. Drank at home on 1st Oct 2020. Liked it. Golden pour, white crown on top. Mild citrus nose and flavours, good malty base for the hops to work with, light piney bitterness comes through the semi-sweetness from the malts.

Can from Beer 52. Wondered what was “massive” about this – until I noticed the ABV ! Has a generic fruity nose – maybe lime and pineapple ? Pours a chrome yellow with a very transient white head than rapidly becomes scummy. Sharp and hoppy in the mouth – but not overly so (and not citrus thank god !). Taste of melon and pine with some traces of grapefruit. Finish is fruity. Not quite my kind of beer – but rather nice.

Great label! Large foamy white head stayed on a slightly hazy gold body. Sweet fruity aroma. Medium bodied, soft with a sharp dry back. Bitter citrus, pithy, confectionery, chalky & melon tastes. A strange one with an unusual taste in background...

At the source: pours mostly golden with a white head. Aroma is light grapefruit, light pine, and basically basic ipa stuff. Taste is lightly bitter. Somewhat fruity. Kind of meh.

On tap at D.B.A. Brooklyn. Pours orange with medium white head. Grapefruit hoppy aroma. Sweetish flavor with medium to strong bitterness towards the end. Malts, citrus, hops. Good one.
