ASSERTIVE TROPICAL HOPS BALANCED BY COMPLEX MALT GIVE THIS IPA A BIG PERSONALITY WITH A DRY FINISH.
A hoppy attitude and a mouthful of dynamic flavors give this IPA a big personality. Assertive, fruit-forward hops with aromas of orange blossom and pineapple mingle with flavors of wet pine and sweet malt with a dry finish.

20/10/2017 - draught glass shared with 77ships @Wanderlust. Clear dark yellow, creamy white head. Nose is fruity bitter hops. Taste is fruity, some bitterness, sweet touch. Better body than the Intravert but nothing special too.

Thanks to Bierridder_S! Sampled draft @ BBP Anniversary Festival 2017. Orange, creamy white head. Nose is oily weak hop, cow fodder, orange peel & low iorn. Taste is bit dull, hop oil, cow fodder, lightly sweet, caramel, doughy, cow fodder heavy, lacking on flavour. Similar to the Introvert but with some taste at least but not that great either.

Can. Amber beer with a cream head. Light grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and summer fruit flavor with light caramel. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and summer fruit lingers with light sweetness.

Slightly hazy gold with impressive head of foam.
Grapefruit, mango and pine nose that leans towards the spicy side.
Tastes spicy, must be the rye. Kinda detracts from the tropical fruit and pine but that’s what makes it interesting. The malt tastes toasty.
Good enough mouthfeel, good enough IPA.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 5/6/2017. Pours fairly crystal clear golden/orange/amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, papaya, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, honey, rye, toasted biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, papaya, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, honey, rye, toasted biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, papaya, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, honey, rye, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing though the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, fairly crisp, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7.1%. Overall this is an excellent IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the balanced bitter/drying finish. Nicely juicy, vibrant, and lightly dank on hops; great malt backbone, without being sweet. A very enjoyable offering.
