US Pint can from Mirage Wines & Liquor. Drank at our Air B&B in Palm Springs on 17th April 2025. My can claims Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe. Mostly clear golden body, white crown, tropical fruit aroma and taste, slight peachy lead maybe. Nice easy going semi-sweet IPA with a good hoppy feel.

Can. Golden-amber beer with a cream head. Tropical fruit aroma. Tropical fruit and light grapefruit flavor with light pine. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Tropical fruit and grapefruit linger with pine.

On tap at Abnormal, pours a cloudy golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out tangy, dank hops, light citrus, and biscuity malt. Flavour is tropical and bitter, with intense tropical fruit, citrus peel, dankness and bitter pine cones. Bright, bitter, and dank. Excellent.

My can says Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy, but the ABV's the same. Peachy indeed, with a stone fruit front accented by pineapple and mango, underlined by hints of bubblegum, lime zest, and grainy sweetness. A bit of wet malt creeps into the finish, but the fade gives an outsized mineral bitterness, oily and clingy and very West Coast. Never quite reaches the DIPA heights you want, but a decent pint regardless.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. Clean and clear, bright golden orange appearance, thin,oily foam head. Really into this double. Lots of melon and bitter citrus. Nice blend of tropical like aromas and flavors. Refreshing imperial. Totally on board with this.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours golden copper. Tropical aromas waft from the pour. Touch of dankness. Med + body. Flavor starts semi-dank peach (?) with tropicals that seem to include melon and passion fruit. Quite dry. Pretty hoppy. Bitter in a way suggesting peach pits. There are many flavors mixed into this, and it's beyond me to parse them all. It's just a good, peachy bitter ale. Like it!
