Opalescent golden to orange colour, moderate sized off-white head; aroma of piney, apricot, honey and orange zest notes ; bittersweet taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; great one!

Tap at the American Taproom, Singapore. Poured a crystal clear copper colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, big resin, dry woody hop. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a crisp fresh, light fruit, light floral, dry woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

650ml bottle. Clear, orangey golden colour with evenly spread, pausing suspended matters and frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Piney and slightly citrusy, hoppy aroma, hints of orange, orange zest. Taste is crisp, bitter hoppy, piney and slightly citrusy, hints of orange, orange zest, caramel malty backbone. Really bitter, classic West Coast style.

650 mL bottle poured. Pours a hazy, snow globe golden color with a spinning active head. A ton of sediment in this for being a decently fresh IIPA. That’s cool. Extra flavor. Slightly metallic aroma with a citrus blast. Flavor is a citrus bitter, with a slight metallic, but overall a pretty good imperial. Has a bite to it. Interesting.

568ml can. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, slightly raw and skunky, some sweetness of candied fruits, bakery spices. Taste is slightly skunky and sweet, with tropical fruits bitterness. Strong piney bitterness aftertaste. Good one, but slightly "dirty" beer.
