ABV: 10.5% IBU: - Ticks: 20
A no nonsense bruiser Imperial IPA brewed with strategic unction, wallop and clout. Compounded, bashed and beaten into submission, releasing relentless clods of immeasurable tropical baddoo. CRYO POP, SIMCOE, AMARILLO, CITRA and IDAHO 7 haemorrhage and spurt a decadent ooze of over ripened hog plum, mango, pineapple, custard apple, blood orange and pink grapefruit. All swaddled together in a subtropical piñata awaiting your disfigurement and ruination…

Can from Hydrology. Pours murky orange with a decent white cap. Aromas of tinned fruit cocktail, mandarin oranges, tutti frutti sweets. Taste is more of the same. Where's the bitterness? Too damn sweet. The infantalising of beer is going too far... Or maybe twas ever thus.

Draught @ Biererei, Berlin. Pours cloudy orangeish amber with airy white head. Clear aroma of malt and yeast, with notes of fruit and touches of hops. Sweetish flavour of malt and fruit, with hoppy and estery touches. Bitter and fruity aftertaste with malty touches. Warming alcohol presence. Good.

(Draught, taster, Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival, 9 Oct 2021) Cloudy golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruit, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, pineapple, mango and passion-fruit. Fruity, hoppy taste with citrus, grapefruit, mango, pineapple and a balanced citric/tropical bitterness. Full body, quite sweet. Rich and chewy, with lots of fresh hops and tropical fruit. Alcohol fairly well hidden in the fruit salad. Great DIPA.

Can at home, 28th October 2021. Pours a surprisingly clear golden beast of a TIPA, aroma is pungent, pithy citrus fruits and candied orange and peel. Taste is equally heavy hitting, candied pith, big bold flavours of candied orange, citrus pith and peel, orange and grapefruit, pineapple and pine. Fantastic and a good bit of bitterness in the close.
