Cloudy gold with a rich white head. Nice mandarin and citrus notes. Boozy and lots of mandarin peel. Boozy finish.

Hazy, blonde, no head. Lots of hops on the nose, boozy on the palate, so strong. Hops are there but the alcohol totally overpowers them. Jeez. Malts are moderate.Other editions of this I swear were better balamced

Cloudy, light amber. Thin head. Mixed bag of hop aroma notes - orange, melon and maybe some weed. Malty, moderate bitterness, a bit of alcohol in there, too. There's balanced, but really this lacks dynamism in any dimension.

Dank hops. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Weedy and dank, touch green with a nice bitterness.

473mL can, courtesy of fiulijn, pours a murky peachy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out a lot of pithy, juicy, stone fruits upfront, with citrus hops, light pine, and resins. Flavour follows along the same lines, with loads of juicy, pithy stone fruits, with piney hops, resins, bitter citrus rind, and some caramel malt. Extremely juicy and surprisingly cohesive for such a high gravity imperial IPA. Surprisingly excellent.

2018-12-18, can from the brewery, 8-4-9-5-17=43
Cloudy orange-golden colour with generous fluffy head. The aroma is quite dank, and then citrusy. The mouthfeel is moderately feel, but lean; explosion of citrusy and tropical hops, candies, sweet grapefruit.
Excellent tonight.

Cloudy golden colour. Nice hoppy aroma, pungent, resiny, a bit dank. Lean mouthfeel, moderately sweet, but that balances the alcohol, with strong juicy, orangey, piney and dank hop character.
Not very cohesive, but it's very good, dank TIPA.
