Tap at Komachi. Deep golden. Nose is citrus and tropical fruit with rich malt. Flavor is citrus, stone fruits, tropical fruit. Quite tasty and not too boozy with a dry, tropical finish.

Imperial pint can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney and resinous hops, sweet caramel and bready malt. Flavour is surprising easy-drinking, with a great piney and resinous hop character upfront, balanced by sweet bready and caramel malt. Somewhat oily palate, with a balanced finish. By-the-books and well-done, but nothing exceptional.

19.2 oz, shared. Aroma is floral, white grape, overripe oranges. Pours hazy golden orange with a collapsing off white head. Taste is moderately to highly sweet with faint bitterness. Way too sweet.

Bottle from Brewcraft at home. Clear-ish golden pour with puffy fine white head. Aroma is resin, melon, and alcohol. Taste is alcohol pine resin fizzy orange. Medium palate. Not bad at all, tastes like an amped up fresh squeezed. Maybe this bottle’s not that fresh.

12oz bottle. Old school factory stale Cascade aroma. Old school IIPA or whatever approximates that these days, one for all you haze-haters out there. It is quite juicy as opposed to bitter still, and pretty drinkable for the ABV, which comes off truer than all these dextrose beers. I wouldn't buy it again or seek it out, but it is a reasonable enough IIPA that met my expectations. OK.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is sugary oranges. Flavor is some chalky malt very much on the dry side with with the dankiest of dank hops. I did not get any tropical fruit like the bottle said I would. Old school all the way with heavy malt and danky hops.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours brassy gold with a decent white head. Aroma is floral with a herbal dank aspect. Med body or so. Flavor is floral, citrus/pine, roasty malt and some dankness (lite) with a bit of tropical - mostly melon, tho perhaps some passion fruit. Decently bitter. Good flavor.
