This New England style DIPA is a beast, but not in a "lurking in the shadows, evil" kind of way; in a "flavour explosion, delicious hops," GOOD Monster kind of way! Double dry hopped with 24g/L of Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe and Amarillo; notes of tropical mango and passionfruit, juicy peach, and bright orange, lemon, and grapefruit shine!

(Can) Cloudy golden yellow colour with frothy, off-white head, leaving traces of lacing. Fruity nose with mango, pineapple, passionfruit, peaches, orange and a touch of sponge cake. Fruity, slightly sweetish, taste with notes of mango, pineapple, passionfruit, white bread, citrus peel, grapefruit, orange and a mild citric/herbal bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, quite sweet. Hoppy and juicy. Very nice.

Keg at Brewdog Shepherd's Bush, London. A hazy golden/orange/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, orange, mango, tropical fruit aroma and taste. Decent enough effort.

Keg draught at BrewDog Nottingham. Very light golden colour, hazy with a tiny ring of white head. Light aroma of stone fruit, tropical fruit notes, some vanilla. Taste is sweet and sticky, quite malty with candied citrus and canned pineapple, some apricot. Light body with good carbonation. All 8n all it is a pretty cracking beer but the low aroma brings it down on the scoring.

Can from the lcbo. Hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a blast of tropical fruit, soft pale cereals, peach, grapefruit, pineapple. Mouth feel is soft, carb is the same. Finish is medium bitter a touch boozy, big orange zest, and orange oil with some great pithy notes.

Can. A light haze on this yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth light pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Soft cooling pine into mild hop spice. Juicy hop citrus, fairly bright, a good back up of stone fruits and tropical fruits. Nibbly hop spice. Another super quaffable and hop fruity dipa from this brewery.
