We took Konkey Dong, fattened him up a bit, and doubled the dry hop for a whopping 8.5 pounds of hops per barrel.

Can at home watching some television. Peachy orange pour quite thick and sudsy head. Nose is melon and stone fruits. Tastes of peach, green onion, melon, mango, oats. Prickly palate. Juicy finish.

Opaque and somewhat dull appearance. Just a thin head. Green and chalky hop, which is about what I remember from the last time I had a Konkey Dong, in Havana a bunch of years ago. Lots of bitterness. Malts are okay but I wouldn'�t say more than that. Not bad if you can handle the hop burn.

Super hazy deep orange and straw yellow coloured body with a thinnish, two centimetre tall tan head that stays atop the murky, 90 per cent opaque body. Aroma of grass, citrus, oranges, juice, a dash of tropical fruits and some noticeable alpha acids that seem bitter. Full-bodied; Very rich, chunky malt notes show at first with a lot of sweetness, orange fruit and some bananas, with a creamy, milky and strong vanilla bite to couple with a ton of malt richness and alcohol along with some alcohol warmth, especially at the end. Aftertaste is rich and super robust with honey, oranges, grass, resin, flowers and a ton of malt notes showing through, with bunches of alcohol and residual sugars, too - not at the cloying level, but very sweet. Overall, a strong, pungent and robust real Imperial IPA that is New England in context, but rich and pungent overall and somewhat less juicy than I expected, in content. A funny label, sort of, but I don't think I understand anything at all of what is actually going on it. Interesting throughout and worthy of finding if you like the style! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 18-December-2021 for US$4,89, cannned on 30-November-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-February-2022.

16 oz. can, thanks to Mark. Pours an opaque, orange color, with a small, bubbly, white head. The aroma is hay, apricot, lemon cream, and papaya. Sweet and sugary, with a mellow bitterness. Lovely, bright, and tropical.

Murky medium apricot orange-brown body, thick cream head. Sweet, estery aroma with pineapple, lychee, guava, citrus rind, and catty herbal notes. Big body, a blend of sugared tangerine rind and tropical fruits, including papaya, lychee, and pineapple. Robust and assertive but neither bitter nor too sweet. Excellent.
