Double IPA with a deep golden color, very slender body and lots and lots of hop aroma, ranging from tropical fruit to citrus, passing through the balsamic of the resin.

Bottiglia. Al naso arrivano impressioni di luppolo e di frutta tropicale. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una scarsa tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato ma duttile. L'amaro è carico. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevolissimo. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo, arancia amara, ananas e lime.

On tap at Julep. A really drinkable NEIPA, malty and slightly bitter with a great hops profile. Tropical fruit and some grapefruit with a smooth finish. Really nice.

Hazy blond color. Nice dank aroma. The mouthfeel is a bit oily, delicate malt base, some crisp malt, dank hops. Not as expressive as the best IIPAs, but still quite solid.

Hazy, light tan. Has some grapefruit, decent pale malt. Nice rich grapefruit bitterness to it, lots of malt, lots of alcohol. Decent old school DIPA.

Bottle - Sweet Caramel and wet grass. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Grassy and wet with not much else of worth.

330mL bottle, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out candied sugar, light butter, resinous hops and sweet biscuity malt. Flavour is malty and sweet, with clashing resinous hops, some floral, perfumey notes, and booze. Clashing notes, lacking cohesion and quite messy. Far from a well-calibrated IIPA.

From the tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours fairly crisp intense gold with medium persistent white foam. Aroma is intense of caramel, fruity, resinous, citrus. Body is dense with medium carbonation. Taste is a nice mix of sweet/caramel and intense bitterness. Finish is relatively long and bitter.
