Amber golden colour, white foam. Nice fruity nose with a lot of tropical fruit. Nice bitter finish. A great west coast IPA.

from a 473ml can on 28/1/2020. Pours a clearish medium golden with a small head. The nose is light with a bit of fruit and piney hops. Flavour wise, there's a modest caramel malt background with some stone fruit (apricot, peach), followed by a sustained, extremely bitterness, which is herbal, piney, resiny, lingering and tongue coating.The bitterness is actually a bit too much, overwhelming the initial flavours. The mouthfeel is slick, the carbonation average. Big and flavoursome but a touch unbalanced for mine.

Draft pint at the High Park Tap House on 21st March 2019. Slight haze to the golden/amber body, wispy white affair on top. The hops give off a piney, resinous aroma and taste, light malts try to keep the bitterness in check, finish is dry.

Can pour into tulip glass from Total Wine & More, Danvers. Appearance is hazy orange with nice sparkle, finger-width creamy, off-white head with decent retention and beautiful leggy lacing. Aroma is dank, resiny hops, citrus, candied sugar. Taste is as aroma, bready malt backbone as well. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, lively carbonation (a bit stinging to the tip of the tongue) and finish as taste. Overall, west coast all the way. Strong flavors but nothing that hasn't been done before.

Appearance- tries to escape the can, then pours amber with a bit of haze, a fluffy clingy solid half-finger off-white head. Aroma- hop resin, fruitcake, glazed tropical fruit, mango, pineapple hints, trace of booze. Taste- hop resin, sticky juicy fruit, caramel, pine, oily hops, orange peel. Clingy sticky finish, quite a full mouthfeel. Good stuff.

Can from Beer Gonzo Webshop, Earlsdon, Coventry. Consumed at Fairport Conventions Annual Reunion, Cropredy Festival 9th August 2018 Pours hazy warm gold with a large white head. Tropical and pine laden aroma, I also get pine resin in the mouth. Sweet malts but also a little more bitter than expected, which is a good thing I reckon. I like this, glad I picked up a couple.

16oz. can. Tasted on the 19/07/2018 at "Singulario", Compostela (Galiza). Clear orange color with a medium and fuffly white head. Aroma is malts, sweat hops, pine needles, orange and tangerine. Taste is intense citrus and medium hoppy with a presence of pine needles, oranges and some yeast. Not a bad one for "Birthday Beer". Next one please!

Port Brewing Mongo Double IPA 8% Clear copper gold with a thick head of foam. Floral and pine needles with fruity sweet notes as well and a decent malt backbone. Lovely full smooth bodied mouthfeel. The taste is sweet upfront then big balanced bitterness. I get woodsy pine bark, mild cream soda in the finish and stone fruit complementing the chewy malts. My initial impression was it was a tad boozy but three sips in and I think it’ll do just fine. Damn tasty. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
