Exuberant tropical fruit aroma leads to juicy grapefruit, pineapple and citrus flavors. This beer is a prime example of a San Diego IPA with pale straw color, restrained malt character, a bone dry finish, and loads of hops from first wort to dry hop. Hops: Chinook dominant, with supporting roles played by Amarillo, El Dorado, CTZ & Hull Melon.

Can at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is nicely fruity and citrussy with orange, tangerine, biscuity malt, light pine, soft grapefruit, and bitter fruit peel. Flavour is mildly sweet with a firm bitterness in the finish. Above medium body. Nicely fruity IIPA, good stuff.

Classic old-school DIPA, heavy on the caramel, orange marmalade, grapefruit, and pine, with a vicious hop bite on the back end leading to a lingering bitter finish. Sweetness grows as it warms, becoming surprisingly malty as the pint goes on, but the oily hop vitriol helps keep things good and surly. Only real issue is the nose, surprisingly tame for this large an IPA. Not bad.

From a 473ml can on 26/1/2020. Pours a clear medium golden with a medium head. The aroma is quite malty with lots of caramel, as well as quite a bit of fruit. The flavour presents very much the same as the nose- a big caramel backbone with a good dash of sweet citrus, and some firmish hops finishing off proceedings. The mouthfeel is slightly syrupy and the carbonation moderate. A really solid and enjoyable WC DIPA.

Can from Tokyo Food Show. Nice tropical fruit aroma, little bit of pleasant mustiness, minerals, pineapple, light pine. Taste is very nice, fruity at the start with a bitter finish. Mango, grapefruit, something quite sweet. Good stuff. Alcohol is well hidden.

500ml can from Bottlecraft in SD at home in HK. Nearly clear golden honey pour with fine white foamy head. Aroma is pine grassy mango biscuit, and some alcohol. Taste bitter grassy piney, not as much tropical fruit but very good. Crisp. Malt is light and biscuity. Crisp for a big DIPA. Lasting warmth and bitter tingle. Very solid SD DIPA. Would probably get again.
