On tap at S�o Paulo Tap House, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out bitter piney hops, lots of citrus zest, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is very bitter, with bright piney hops, bitter citrus zest, and crisp biscuity malt. Bitter and piney, like the better Cali IIPAs of the 2010s. Excellent.

500ml bottle. Hazy, dark yellow-ish, golden colour with huge, thick, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Grassy, piney, citrusy, and tropical fruity, hoppy as well as biscuity, pale malty aroma, notes of pineapple, lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, some peach, nectarine, guava, a touch of (salty) cracker. Taste is sweet-ish, pale malty, tropical and citrusy fruity hoppy, minimally waxy, notes of nectarine and peach, some lemon, a touch of guava, moderate hop bitterness; well hidden alcohol, albeit a warming effect in the finish can't be denied. Minimally oily texture, super soft, smooth, silky palate, fine and soft carbonation. Although hazy in appearance pretty much West Coast concerning flavours, no juicy fruitiness, quite some hop bitterness, only the malty basis is more on the pale side instead of what is typically be described as caramel malty backbone - very good!

Pale malts, lots of bitterness, lots of galaxy, good balance. It’s a single hop galaxy IIPA and exactly what you imagine that to be.
