Ridiculously hazy, super murky paleish golden and raw honey coloured body with a relatively thick three centimetre tall off-white head that's partially microfoamed AND soapy. Aroma of oranges, mangoes, papaya, grass, yeast, bread, lactose, cream and a bunch of icing sugar, with alcohol on the nose, too. Full-bodied; Super strong mango, orange and papaya fruitiness is strong here, with a very rich oat and clean-drinking wheat maltiness that provides good balance to the strong sweetness and light bitterness from the hops, with a good kick of fruits at the end, with the alcohol hidden very well at seemingly just 8 per cent alcohol. Aftertaste is fruity, very oaty and quite sweet - not quite at the cloying level, but very strong and balanced nicely against the oat/wheat notes that make the alcohol seem much less - in a good way! Overall, a very nice IPA that shows Imperial Status from the sugars and rich, super easy-drinking malts, but NOT the alcohol - a very nice collaboration - highly recommended if you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 26-November-2022 with the tagline 'Our First International Collab' on the bottom of the can, brewed on 08-November-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 08-June-2023.

16 ounce can. Murky tan color. Large, frothy beige head. Perfumy, juicy, tropical fruit aroma. Flavors of intense juiciness. Notes of peach, passion fruit and orange. A literal explosion of citrus and tropical fruit. The bready malt base does well to support this cacophony of sweet fruit juice. The 10.5% ABV a is well hidden, until the last drops drip down into your gullet. Wowza!
