It doesn’t take a genius to know quality West Coast IPAs require a stupid amount of hops. A generous blend of Nugget hops and the four Cs—Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Columbus—brings forth a myriad of tropical fruit flavors and a brawny, persistent bitterness that makes for a highly intelligent brew.

Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: copper/auburn color with a subtle transparency along the sides and a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: tropical fruity hop mix with some caramel/toffee malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas together in a fair bittersweet sort of way; clean finish of those hops and malts
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper, some smoothness but also some noticeable hop bitterness
Overall: pretty good DIPA worth coming back to.

Big citrus aromas, and some very light malts. This is a big hop bomb! I cant say im surprised. Loads of citrus, pine, and resins. Bitterness is intense, and quite dry. Nice stuff.

Bottle at home. Aroma of sweetish fruits, citrus, orange, tropical fruits, peach, hint of floral, pine resin, big hops. Flavour is moderate sweet with a medium bitter finish. Body is medium. Smooth with great balance. Nicely refined and very tasty.

Tap @ Borefts. Blonde. Soft dried tropical fruit and floral notes in the aroma. Floral grassy hops and plastic in the flavor. Firmly hopped.

(bottle, 35.5cl) Hazy, deep golden colour with a short and slightly off-white foamy head. Bready malty and moderately piny hoppy aroma with cautious fruity accents. Moderately sweet and mildly bitter flavour, almost full bodied with a calm carbonation. Juicy and resinous hoppy taste with a mildly bready malty body, getting slightly boozey towards the sweet-bitter finish. Not bad. 12.III.18
