ABV: 8.2% IBU: - Ticks: 11
An indulgent DIPA brewed with liquid hops and a super pale malt base, with jumbo oats and wheat for maximum plump smoothness.

Citra and Mosaic Incognito and Galaxy Spectrum pour in like liquid gold and bring tropical fruit bowl flavours to the table. Juicy base notes of mango, sweet and soft peaches with bright bursts of tangerine and a dank, sticky finish.

Op tap bij The Scrapyard. Troebelgele kleur, witte kraag. Zoet, mango, perzik, wat citroen, zoete citroensnoepjes, hopping, licht grassig, vrijwel geen bitterheid. Lekker, maar behoorlijk zoet.

Can picked up from Kihoskh and drunk at home - hazy golden orange with a white head. Bright vibrant juicy fruity with lots of tangerine and grapefruit, some papaya and peachy notes, citrus rinds and some hop spice bite, sweetish malty backing, balanced bitter hoppy close. Very nice.

Aroma has citrusy and grapefruit notes and some hops. Flavor has same elements with some grassy notes and not much bitterness. Smooth. Bit too old maybe.
