A powerful DIPA brewed to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Virmalised.
Taste: The first sip starts out with a fleeting hint of sweet pineapple flesh and ripe nectarines, but the hops here are undeniable, with their resinous character swiftly coating the tongue like pine sap. What follows is a lingering wave of bitter citrus and lemongrass that might just leave you seeing green.
Appearance: A vibrant orange beer with a tight white head.
Nose: A complex gradient of colourful notes ranging from subtly sweet orange zest to assertive resinous aroma akin to pine needles and grapefruit pith.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Hazy deep golden, mid sized head. Aroma of grapefruit and lime. Mid sweet with above medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Piney grapefruit and lemongrass. Bitter finish.

Tap at Beergeek Bar. Hazy golden body, off-white head. Resin and some oxidized malty notes in the aroma. Lean, dry, caramelly taste, somewhat citric-hoppy. Meh, not in the best of shapes.

19/XII/24 - 44cl can from Geers, (Oostakker) shared @ ElManana+1’s place, BB: 27/V/25, canned: 27/VIII/24, batch N0719 (2024-1296)
Pretty clear blond yellow beer, practically no head, but then again I busted the can half an hour before when it fell out of the fridge. Aroma: nice, juicy, tropical fruits, mango, pineapples, sweet sugary impression, some marzipan. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, juicy, fruity, nice, good bitterness, citrus, zesty, juicy, a bit resinous. Aftertaste: nice, a little dank, bitter touch, sugary, ripe fruits, mango, nice!

Keg at Beer Merchants Tap, 02/11/24. Clear golden orange topped with a just off white head that retains well. Nose is bitter orange, grass, herb, grapefruit, melon. Taste comprises orange zest, grapefruit, caramel notes, light pine flicker, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness allied to a subtle boost. Easy drinking DIPA.
