Draught at Callister, Vancouver
Cloudy orange-blond color, with small head. Nice aroma of Stone fruits and mango, and a hint of smoke. Lean body, off-dry, but it seems sweeter because the bitterness is not very strong, while the hopping as usual brings very juicy fruitiness, and a good amount of soft resins; delicate pale malt, traces of smoke, mild alcohol warmth. Compared to other IIPAs, the final is shorter.
In line with other Boombox juicy beers, because of its strength and probably higher bitterness I find this one very drinkable and less cloying.
Excellent.

Quite cloudy with a medium, bubbly head. Nice weedy, grapefruit hop nose. On the palate, honestly, a lot of that goodness disappears. It’s sweet, funky yeasty, but what the heck else? The hop beauty is all in the nose.

On tap at Callister. Pours a murky golden with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits and citruses. Taste is same plus some strange resiny, moderate sweetness. Not bad.

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of oranges and citrus rinds, tropical fruits, candied sugar and resinous hops. Flavour is very resinous and sweet, with tons of resinous hop oils dominating upfront, followed by sweet tropical fruits, oranges, candied sugar and caramel malt. Quite a sweet IIPA with considerable alcohol showing. A little messy and sweet, but very pleasant.
