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.

Clearish golden coloured body with a thick, four centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of super fresh hops, grapefruit, pine and earth - super strong with a lot of residual sugars and alcohol noticeable as well. Full-bodied; Strong hop flavours at first that literally taste like a hop juice with all the sugars noticeable. Aftertaste shows more well-rounded flavours with earth, pine, grass, hay and malt with the sugars and the hops. Overall, a very nice and hop/sugar-centric beer with a good finish and complexity at the end, full of alcohol as well. Nice to sample even West of the Left Coast! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Malama Market in Haleiwa, O’ahu, Hawaii on 21-August-2016 for US$7,88 sampled a day later in my hotel room in Waikiki, O’ahu, Hawaii on 22-August-2016.

Bottle. Golden copper color. Aroma of caramel, mild pine and resinous hop. Soft taste of bitter caramelised malt, pine, herbs, some grapefruit and a very bitter finish. Allright.

16oz pour in The Signature Sports Bar, Laguna Niguel on 12th May 2016. Cloudy orange/amber body, white head. Hoppy and fruity with a mini-citrus feel and bittering finish. Liked it.

Bottle @ Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, KL. Clear amber, small offwhite froth. Caramely, hoppy aroma, light resin notes. Sweetish caramely flavour with ok hoppy bite, dark grapefruit and pine. Lasting dry and bitter finish. Ok.

Tasted from the tap on the 08/02/2016. This is the kind of juice I like at night! Very hoppy and fruity beer. Finish is medium dry and bitter. Very well balanced hop combination. Next one please!

Tap at TAPS in KL. Hazy dark orange amber pour with frothy white head. Aroma is dank resin hops with a lot of cereal malt. Taste is strong resinous hop bitterness with a defined astringent quality. Really deep dank bitterness. Palate is slightly thicker than normal perhaps because of the heavily malted nature. Lasting biting bitterness with a nice boozy warmth on the finish. Much better than the voo doo stout from the same brewery. Nothing to stand out but a solid resinous west coast DIPA.

Flarra biskopen Malmö. Doftar ovanligt tydligt av malt å fint trä. Ek ja lite söt sådan. Smakar då? Jo först tydlig fyllig maltig känsla i munnen. Sen lite fruktsötma, av druvor å därefter kommer en medelbeska å smak av barrskogen kliver in. Låååångt från west coast här. Lågt kolsyrad bra. Kul bra kvalitets Dipa utan att tillhöra de bästa.
