Bottle at Van Moll, Eindhoven. Big fruity hop aroma with juicy tropical fruits, citrus, soft notes of pine and malt. Flavour is moderate sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Well-balanced brew, lovely smooth juicy IIPA.

12 ounce bottle at the hotel bar, 9.9.23. Clear gold, medium white head, average retention. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, pale malt. Gratefruit, pine, marmalade, pale malt. Mild bitterness, well balanced. 31st state in which I've consumed a locally made beer while in the state. I hope the rest of the trip is like this beer!

12 oz from a six pack. Aroma has notes of chalky candy, grain, citrus peel, bread, B.O., sex. Pours hazy golden with a one+ finger bone white head with good retention. Taste has a moderate to high pithy bitterness with flavors like the aroma. Alcohol is very noticeable.

Mango and citrus infusion. Some caramel, booze. Pours golden with ok head and lacing. Kind of loses its kick a few seconds after first sip. Bitter, boozy end. Tap at Pacific City brewery

Enjoyed on tap at Pelican, Tillamook. Pint. Clean and clear golden pour. Listed at 9% even. Thin oily head. A solid imperial here. Agressive west coast imperial, but not too harsh considering the tick under double digit abv tag. Soft citrus hop tones, balanced well with a semi rich caramel malt. An easy drinking imperial overall. Interesting that a beer like this one has become unique. Enjoyed this a ton.
