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. Just unclear deep gold with a fading white head. Aroma of grapefruit, grass, pineapple (+ a little mango), pine. Light bread is underneath. Barely medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Bread and a touch of biscuit - not fancy but enough. And and bland sweetness it might impart is countered by a dry and fairly bitter finish. The citrus and tropical fruit notes swoop towards resin there too. Alarmingly drinkable, tasty, but not terribly interesting.

Yellow brew with a white head. Tropical and light pine, slight woodsy note. Lively. Bitter bite throughout. Medium bodied. Heck yes.

Sampled from tap at FDDB 2018. Hazy, golden amber with a medium large, foamy, stable, off-white head. Sweetish, fruity-resiny and slightly grassy aroma of mango, orange jam, papaya and some pine. Quite sweet, malty, rather resiny and moderately fruity taste of lots of pine, mango, papaya and orange jam, followed by a medium long, rather bitter, resiny and a bit boozy finish. Medium to full body, creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very nice, just a tad too boozy.

16 oz can poured, listed at 8.5%. Canned 10/11/2017. A clean and clear golden orange pour. Plenty of foam head that lasts. Pineapple like tropical aroma, with plenty of cool, almost minty hops. Refreshing taste to this. Juicy, but not thick. Flavorful cool melon hops, juice lingering finish. Easy drinking imperial. Delicious.

Can from Gedeelde Vreugde. Medium thick, tightly 'papery' lacing, off-white, stable head, opening middle but retaining as a pattern of dotty 'islands'; lightly hazy, warm and pure golden blonde colour, yellowish with ochre tinge. Aroma of raw garlic, a lot of yellow grapefruit, old cheese, cumin seed, lemon rind, lime juice, gin, dried out white bread, apple peel, pine resin, olive oil, white pepper. Fruity, crisp and clean onset, green banana, unripe pineapple, starfruit, sweetish with a sourish edge, softish carbo. Smooth, oily mouthfeel, feeling lighter than expected from a near-9% ABV beer really; 'white' bready maltiness, bit understated in the 'biscuit' department; long, spicy hop bitter finish as is to be expected, garlic-ish, very grapefruity, white pepper, 'green' citrus peel, followed by warming, gin-like alcohol which, in all, remains perfectly in place. Exemplary as expected, but could perhaps do with a tad more caramelized maltiness?
