Can split at L6, thanks to Leighton, 27/09/18. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is grass, pine needle, raw citric pith, old skool exhaust. Taste comprises ripe citric flesh, pine dusting, grassy, grapefruit, light dank tickle. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close spiked with semi aggressive hop bitterness. Decent enough old skool leaning DIPA.

Can shared in London - picked up in the US. Pours murky orange-gold with a creamy topping. Hearty, a little boozy, some bready pale malts, melon, ripe citrus. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, rindy citrus, pine needles, crispy pale malts. Not bad.

Level 6 bottleshare. Big thanks to Leighton for the can. Very hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, fairly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Soft dry pale malts, light creamy sweetness. Smooth light pine. Dry citrus, a trace of fresh orange but a fair bit of pithy dry bitterness as well. Dry mildly spicy finish. Nice enough.

100th DIPA (new style definition) rating! Pours a hazy dark amber from a can. Tropical fruit (mango, maybe a bit of papaya) aroma somewhat fades in the mouth, somewhat soapy. Okay beer.

Pours chunky mango into a shaker. Soapy white head with good retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Tangerine and tropical fruit skin aromas. Soft and dry with mango, pineapple and papaya upfront turning to resin and pith in the lasting finish.

Can from El Jefe, thanks for the opportunity! Hazy murky light golden color with a huge bubbly white head that persists. Dripping with citrus, fruit, and resin on the nose. Flavor follows the aroma but adds a hint of earth and grass. Respectable IPA
