47,3 cl can @ St. Mary's Park, 18.02.2021 Aroma has gluey tones, tropical fruits and fruit juice. Flavour has juicy hops, tropical fruits, fruit candy. Finsihes with grapefruity hop bite with some menthol in the aftertaste. Good DIPA!

473ml can. Crystal clear, yellow-ish golden colour with average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy, slightly piney and grassy, hoppy aroma, pale malty background with a touch of crackers, notes of lemon, lemon peel, a touch of lemon tea, whiffs of passion fruit, fresh hay, burnt rubber and liquorice, even shallot. Taste is crisp, bitter, citrusy, slightly grassy and piney hoppy, pale malty basis with a touch of crackers, notes of lemon, lemon peel, a diluted touch of passion fruit, subtle earthy aspects with a touch of shallot, rubber, even garlic and salty liquorice; lingering, bitter, zesty finish. Oily texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously dry and minimally cloying (or better adherent) palate, medium to fine, prickly carbonation. Very clean, condensed, concentrated, inspissated, almost a bit monotonous; less a display of the intricacies of hop flavours than a preparation of their essence - not that inspiring.
