(Draught at Man in the Moon, Stockholm, 23 Jan 2023) Dark golden colour, hazy, with frothy off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit and fresh herbal hops. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of tropical fruit, peaches, grapefruit and a generous herbal/citric bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Fresh and solid hop character, backed up buy a good malt body. Fresh, hoppy and solid. Excellent.

Can. Cloudy orange with a good inch of dense white head. Some chunks emerge at the bottom of the can. Interestingly that last cm's aroma - from a different glass - is more expressive. Aroma of creamy orange - as you get when they juice the fruit skin and all - rambutan, mint, pandan custard. Quite sweet with lots of tropical fruit - mainly rambutans - lime as well as orange and a soft texture before a fairly bitter finish. Interesting and good but a little sweet for me.

Pours a golden yellow with a thick white head. Aroma of guava, tropical fruits, melon. Taste has tangerine, mild pine, bitter citra. Palate has viney pine, lingering hop resin, more citra. Really good. Many thanks to the guy who handed me this beer while I hiked the Appalachian Trail - I hope you enjoyed your evening picnic.

Very clear golden and light copper tinted body with a very tall, nice microfoamed tan head, about five to six centimetres tall that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of citrus fruits, deep yeast and malt notes with a quite pungent dose of bread and even cheese, with a slight grainy note on the end. Medium to almost Full-bodied; Deep and pungent, very bitter hop flavours dominate with pine, resin, grapefruit, hay, metal, fresh-cut grass, all ending with a dash of apricots and stone fruit. Aftertaste is very robust and quite bitter from all the alpha acids of the hops, with some balanced grainy malt notes, but the dryness from the malt, grass and especially the grapefruit/apricot flavours persist and lead to more bitterness. Overall, a nice and quite old school (read: bitter from the hops) IPA that tastes like a true Imperial IPA and seemingly doesn't hide any of the alcohol (this tastes every bit of eight per cent and perhaps even more!), but I'd say this is a plain IPA, and a nice, very flavourful one, at that. Great to sample especially fresh, from a producer that's hard to find on a nice snow day here in D.C. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 21-December-2020 for US$5,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 31-January-2021.
