Can at Justicna tasting. Hoppy aroma and taste, citrus fruit, light resin notes, medium bitter. Medium body, malty fruity bitter finish. Good.

Beer Republic Advent calendar day 13, packaged may 20, yikes. Caramel and mild hops nose, on gold beer with a decent fine head reminiscent of the sea in Hawaii. Nice West Coast notes, big bitterness that's a wee bit harsh. Not much tropi-hoppy left, a lot of citrus. I'll have to rate it up a little because it's clearly a better beer than this when fresh.

Yellow with a huge foamy white head. Perfumey and sweet with a citric note. Medium finish. Very overcarbonated.

Another well made great american IPA, no need to get into aroma, and flavour we all know what hops taste, and smell like. All you need to know is this is a great IPA. Hop heads rejoice!

Can at home. Aroma is tropical fruity, citrus, pine resin, some light floral notes, juicy hops. Flavour is light sweet with a nice bitter finish. Medium bodied. Well-rounded and tasty IPA, a treat.
