Bottle from KBL. Thanks! Big tropical fruit nose, over-ripe like mango, durian, plus orange, grapefruit. Doesn't necessarily smell like durian was added, but more like good tropical hops. Slightly hazy, deep orange amber with a tall, fine head. Sweet and funky, resiny, ripe tropical fruits, malty, biscuits. Quite piny, more than expected. Rather high carbonation and a pretty full body. Funky tropical fruits with a bit of stinky durian but it isn't huge. Fun stuff.

Sankt Gallen Durian IPA 7% 2020 April Fool’s release made with oats, durian, vanilla, lactose, malt and hops. The aroma is rich and juicy. The color is nowhere near as hazy as their online photos being w fairly clear brassy gold with a soapy white head of foam. The taste is fairly bitter after the initial fruity hit. I’m getting a rank overripe character I associate with durian but to be honest this is a pretty straightforward IPA leaning towards the juicy side. Good.
