Pours golden-orange with just a slight haze. Full on ripe tropical fruits in the nose - should be sweet but all of these hops are making this feel quite dry actually. Without hops it would be barleywine but this one is still relatively fresh. OK, next I bite into a pile of hops. There is also some more ripe fruits, pears, some orange, mango and papaya. Finish is dry, bittersweet and displaying resins, pine needles quite well. Good stuff, really great fix for any hop cravings you might have.

There’s loads of resinous hops in this absolute bomb, together with plenty of grapefruit and a heap of alcohol. It’s a little overwhelming, even for my tastes as a big IPA fan.

Bottle (best before 26.04.17) from Bridgend Service Station. Hazy golden body with a medium white head. Low carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, sea salt and pineapple. Flavour of melon, white grape and honeycomb. Medium body with a syrupy mouthfeel. Very easy drinking for the strength. I’d love to try this fresh on keg.

A slightly orange beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has mangos, papaiyas, grapefruits, also fructose. Taste has fruitness of mangos and papaiyas, grapefruits, pine, at least medium bitterness, also sweetness. Medium+ bodied. Not so fresh anymore, that’s degreased the best freshness. But good beer anyway, balanced.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Big, juicy, syrupy fruit nose, peach, melon, orange, grapefruit. Sweet malt. Hazy orange-gold with a low head. Sweet, fruity, very hoppy. Iced fruit cocktail: grapefruit, cherry, grape, orange, nectarine. Very nice fruit. Sweet but not silly. Rather heavy, syrupy body, though. Great hops, and pretty nice overall.

Taster at Mikkeller Seoul (had in New Zealand before too). Grassy and sweet for the nose, and lots of sweet hops for the tongue. There’s grape, citrus and grass notes and it slips down really smooth. This is a supremely well balanced imperial IPA.
