This hop monster uses Premium American 2– Row and a touch of light crystal malt to create a solid malt foundation. Five different Hop Varieties are used in the Hop Juice. Now dry hopped with Mosaic for great aroma. Starts out sweet and finishes with the crisp bitterness of a Triple IPA.

One pint can obtained from Half Time in my last order, glad to finally taste it. I have my ABGB tulip glass in place and the tab is lifted. Oh oh, a volatile opening, maybe it was me but be aware of the possibility. The pour is a semi-transparent gold-orange body with a persistent cover of completely white foam. The smell is all around after my mishap and it is pleasant enough in the style. Plenty hoppy, yellow fruit, bread and a touch of grapefruit. The taste is only an improvement. Hops again, resin, some orange marmalade, grapefruit in abundance and a strong malt backbone. A bit of sweetness offset by lots of bitterness. Plenty good in my estimation.

Bottle at home. Aroma of tropical fruits, grapefruit, lots of pine resin, caramel malt, big hops. Flavour is moderate sweet with a long bitter finish. Body is full, slightly sticky. Rich and strong fruity piney malty IIPA, very enjoyable.

opalescent orange colour, half inch of creamy slightly yellowish off-white head; aroma of pine, lemongrass, orange zest oils, some tropical fruits and hints of dill; perfectly balanced bittersweet taste with some tropical fruits, pine, grapefruits, marmalade, some celery and toffee notes; great one!

473ml can from Garden, Jiyugaoka. Quite surprised to find something like this over there! Creamy orange with some white foam on top. Nose is fruity sweetish, light resiny grassy hops there too. Feels fresh and green. Taste is quite intense, hop marmalade, not that cloying but it does have sturdy body which is balanced by a bucketload of hops. Alcohol is well hidden, 10% is nowhere to be seen. Solid stuff, one of the best and most balanced Triple IPA's I have had.
