Draft. Amber beer with a cream head. Dank and earthy aroma with grapefruit. Grapefruit and earth flavor with light pine. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and dankness linger with light pine and backing malt.

Ridiculously hazy deep orange and copper coloured body with a thinnish, but very nice off-white head, about a single centimetre tall, but covering the top very nicely above the 90 per cent opaque glow. Aroma of super dank hops with a lot of bitterness and a rich mango and citrus bite with a good deal of pine as well, but a bunch of sugars and malt in the nose as well. Full-bodied; Super rich, deep fruit flavours dominate with a bunch of apricot, stone fruit and of course grapefruity notes with some pine and flowers as well, but a crisp bite, especially from the malts which hit nicely and balanced for the style. Aftertaste shows a lot of richness as well, with some deep sugars that somehow stay below cloying zone, but showing some rich mangoes and even papaya at the finish. Overall, a very nice, rich and robust beer that hits the hop notes very well, but the stone fruit and apricot notes show almost more than the citrus here, in a nice way, with of course a lot of malt and sugars, but it goes down quite nicely. I sampled this twelve ounce pour on draught at Toronado in San Francisco, California on 10-March-2022 for US$9,00 sampled while here in the city one more time.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated February 3, 2020. Aroma is very hop forward with lots of tropical citrus, mango, guava, pineapple and lighter dank, resin notes. Light cracker malt notes with light alcohol spice. Pours a very hazy, murky, dull orange with a large, thick, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers on the edges. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderate bitterness and low alcohol spice. Fairly strong hop notes with tropical citrus, orange, mango, guava and pineapple. Lighter dank, resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty nice TIPA. Great fruity hop notes and decent malt profile with well hidden alcohol notes.
01/18/19, massive hop package, payload, care package delish of hops. Ez going 10%.

Can. Pours quite hazy orange, medium creamy white head, good lacing. Aroma of dank grassy onion. Flavor is medium sweet, medium bitter, boozy, dank, onions, harsh. Medium body, hot. So glad I only got a single can of this.

Draught at Ale Arsenal. A little too much alcohol throughout this kept is a little off kilter. Moderate juice and dank. Wheat malt aspects from the residual sugars.

Fat San Francisco. Ljus fin färg och blommig doft. I munnen mjuk krämig som sig bör av en hazy Dipa som den marknadsförs som. Fin mjuk lågt kolsyrad. Den får inte högre betyg då doft och framförallt smak kunde blommat än mer. Konkurrensen numera grym i dipa klassen.
