Bottle at home. Aroma is big fruity hops, citrus, orange, biscuity malt, grapefruit, pine resin, caramel. Flavour is moderate sweet with a strong bitter finish. Body is above medium. I don’t understand the comments about low hop profile, this pretty damn fruity hoppy and bitter with a good malt backbone. Anyway, I was really in the mood for a big hoppy bittersweet IIPA sipper and this one very much delivered on my needs.

Draft at Tied House. A downer to end the flight. Kind of flat, kind of weak. IIPA? Hardly. Clear golden, bright, small head. Barely there aroma, band aid. Taste also kind of medicinal, hops and malts, but seem to be fighting each other. No "topia" about this. A mess.

Bottle from Beer Gonzo. Pours clear golden amber with a lasting off-white head. Aroma has a good rather than powerful level of hop, caramel, and light tropical fruit. Medium plus sweetness, light bitterness. Medium bodied, rich and sticky texture, soft carbonation. Enjoyed this.

Draft at Tied House. Clear gold, white head and lace. Nice pine, grapefruit hop aroma and flavor. Solid sweetness. Well made. Lighter bodied. Good stuff.

355ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, orangey golden colour with average, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy and piney, hoppy aroma with a touch of glue, zesty hints of tangerine and grapefruita sugary touch. Taste is bitter and slightly citrusy hoppy, chalky and mineral notes, some lemon, pale malty background with an almond touch, some cardboard; alcoholic finish. Not much hop flavour, quite papery overall. Not worth the transatlantic crossing.
