Aromas of mango, pineapple, mandarin, oats and honey. A nice mouthfeel with the mango, mandarin and piney hops winning out. Bit of an odd one. Lots there, but I'm not sure it quite comes together.

From a 355ml can on 4/11/2019. Pours a clear medium golden with a medium head. Has a strong herbal and pine nose. Tastes of sweet tropical fruit with some biscuit malt. Has a really strong, resiny bitterness with some slight chemical notes. Full bodied with moderate carbonation. It's okay but could be smoother and have a bit more balance.

355ml can into pint glass. Thanks to Ratebeer and Beer Cartel. Golden amber beer, slight haze. Large foamy white head, a few streams of tiny bubbles. Light aroma of malt, citrus fruit, and hops. Full-bodied with an oily texture. Taste and finish are mildly fruity and woody. Unfortunately there is an obvious alcohol burn that lingers. Unbalanced and a real disappointment.

Can from Craftissimo at home. Clear deep golden pour with foamy white head. Aroma is pilsner malt, some tropical fruit, pine underneath, like a little bit dull west coast IPA. Taste is bitter, mostly pine hops, some tropical sweetness, and lots of malt. Medium light palate. Not bad but a bit disappointing relative to other excellent Pirate Life beers.

Can. Bright copper with a 2cm white head. 3+ Aroma of slightly tired pineapple, peach boiled lollies, some marijuana residue. Vibrant it ain't. Sweet but clean and (therefore?) not as heavy as expected. Not a lot of a top note, brooding resinous tropical and pine rumblings, bitterness struggles through a bit. Suspect this hasn't canned well. --- Beer merged from original tick of Tropical IIPA on 09 Oct 2019 at 12:36 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.

Can from #ratebeersupertasters. Orange colour. Resinous stonefruit nose. Certainly bitter, and more resin than tropic fruit. Not super boozy and probably as sessionable as an IIPA can be.
