Vibrant Valencia orange, sweet marmalade, grapefruit, and Meyer lemon aromas approachably meld. Subtle caramel and malt sweeten this beer’s boldness, complemented by a hint of bitterness for a harmonious balance. A richer take on beloved Jai Alai.

Colour is amber with a slight haze. Head is large and thick. Aroma is petrol, pine, raw onions and fudge. Flavour is pine, fudge and alcohol. Bitter finish with more alcohol. Really not that bad but the can it came in was way to big.

Dang thats a big one. Pours a nice clear amber with a giant fluffy and pitted head. Nose is definitely big on piney and grapefruit hops, but also a ton of sugary malt and brandy-like booziness. Flavor follows the same trend - big candi sugar up front, resinous hops leading to a boozy and bitter-hop finish. Sweet overall proflie but the big hopping balances it out some, but the residual sugars can't be hidden. It drinks surprisingly easy, but you're gonna feel it regardless. Similar in some ways to Bigfoot but perhaps not as wholesome/satisfying - still in the vein of those beers we used to call American strong ales but still shows a west coast IPA heritage. Stovepipe can from wawa.

En stor 568ml-burk. Lite märkligt då den svagare Jai kommer i 33cl-burk. Gyllengul klar vätska med medelhögt krämigt skum. Karamell, kådig mango, grape, tallskott, resinbeska. En maffig rejäl västkust-DIPA. Lite boozy och inte så pigg humle men fortfarande en rejäl käftsmäll.

Burk testas i hemmet. Här har vi en rostfärgad dryck i redig Old school look. I munnen oj oj smak av ek , tydlig malt karaktär, lite karamell och tydligt tallbarr samt lite apelsin. Sjukt bra balans mellan smakerna och underliggande beskan. Supergod ju . Oj oj. Nära en American strong ale.

Very nice supercharged version of Jai Alai, with recognizable notes of lemongrass, tangerines, and tropical fruit, with a hefty dose of pine on the back end and a formidable boozy bitterness in the fade. Hits all the right DIPA notes. Delicious.
