A bold IPA that showcases hops front and center. A light malt profile allows citrusy aromatics and tropical fruit flavors to shine through a crisp, hoppy finish.

Pale golden with a white head - Citrus hop aroma - Malt body to support a good citrus, fruity and hints of pine hop flavour with nice bitterness - The Citrus, fruity hop flavour goes into the finish with bitterness - This was good

Bottle from AEON Liquors Jiyugaoka. Pours nice golden yellow, some white foam on top. Nose is fresh, resiny hops but not heavy but realtively light feel to it. Good bitterness in taste, body is weaker but balance is nice and overall feel is dry and herbal-bitterish, still somewhat fruity too. Drink super easy and very smooth.

Bottle pour from Ralphs. Appearance is clear, dark yellow with tons of sparkle, 2-finger width white foamy head with excellent retention and mild lacing. Aroma is stone fruits, resin, lighter grapefruit. Taste is sweet peach/tangerine, vaguely metallic, with bitter grapefruit and pine over biscuit malt backbone. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, average carbonation and bittersweet finish as taste. Overall, some decent complexity but the flavors could have been a bit bolder.
