An aggressive assault of New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hops. A pleasant grassy aroma is layered between pepper, mango, papaya, and grape must. With just enough caramel malt to add depth to color, the emphasis here is truly of the Southern Hemispherical variety.

Can from Beergium. Aroma is fruity Nelson hops, stone fruits, peachy, biscuity malt, pine, orange, grapefruit, mild floral notes, touch of candied fruits. Flavour is moderate sweet with a bitter finish. Body is medium. Very nice royally hopped IPA.

OK, back in 2006, it was hard to find an IPA, now there are more than the national deficit, or, is that debt? WTF? Just keep spending cash we aint have. Green can for 229 from robinson mall house of brews. Pour is typical cloudy IPA with a big rocky head. Does not fade. Somewhat beery floral hop nose, not much. Taste at first is a rather creamy mild IPA. Yes, its IPA bitter but its a milder IPA than I'm used too. In the middle I think its getting stronger but not sure. I see its over 7% so I better be careful, don't slug 3 canzinnah row. Rest of can into glass makes a bigger head. In the end, it is starting to coat my mouth but I'd say the finish tells me it may be a little older and the date code says 7/15/20. You know what that means; it's not a fresh, LOL, eye-pee yay. Yea, as far as cheap goes, its a better IPA and I don't like IPA so read em & weep.

Ich liebe Pinien, im Wald, im Bieraroma und im Geschmack. Und hier gibt’s volles Pinien-Brett, also keine Fruchtaromen, sonder schöner erdiger Yosemite-Panoroma-Trail. Danke dafür, das hab ich heute gebraucht.

Golden colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of resinous hop and tropical fruit. Fine carbonation.

12 ounce can. Amber orange color. Frothy beige head. Dank piney hop nose. Sweet fruity malt flavor has caramel notes. Citrusy hops abound with notes of mango, papaya, berries and tangerine. Resiny pine in finish. Quite tasty.

12 ounce can. Pours a clear orange hue with a medium white head. A big bursting tropical nose. Big hop resin, sweetness, toast, some mango, fresh Nelson. Very good IPA. Hefty.

Good, sturdy IPA, a nice Nelson-heavy IPA that doesn't let their medicinal bitterness overtake the beer. Instead, the white grape notes mesh well with the melon and mango from the El Dorados, while the malts add a toasted grain center around which the hops revolve. Lemondrop sweetness is a nice touch, as is the pine notes that lead to a moderately clingy finish. Pours a lovely gold with a lasting white head and good lacing. Nose gives up restrained grain and citrus. Creamy feel could use a smidge more carbonation. Tasty regardless.

Very good go to IPA. Canned 2 months ago but the Hops smell very fresh. Nicely balanced with the malts satisfying and enjoyable.
