On tap at Haandgemeng. A clear, orange colored beer with a nice off-white head. The aroma has lots of citrus and pine cones, with a vague grass note, some alcohol and a light touch of pale malts. It's sweet and bitter on the palate, full-bodied and lightly warming, and pleasantly carbonated. Pine cones, grapefruit, generic citrus zest, some alcohol and bread in the flavor. Everlasting, alcohol warming finish with piney flavors and a good dash of bitterness. I'm not sure when is the right time for a DIPA at X-mas, but this is sure a fine one. 171027

Tap @ Haburashi, Shibuya - as Death to all but Metal DIPA. Pours darker orange, somewhat hazy, just a bit of white foam on top. Nose is fruity, sweetish body quite clearly there, some booze and not too much freshness. Tastes fruity and malty, relatively sweet body is balanced with bitterness, so it does drink well enough. Light booze biterness there, lingering grassy hops in the finish. Could drink this quite easily, although abv is respectable 9%.

Tropikalno-trawiasto-przyprawow-lesna. Niewiele ciala, niemal wodnista a i tak ciezka w odbiorze przez ta palete. Z +: Alko ladnie schowane. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Death To All But Metal on 11 Oct 2018 at 16:11 - Score: 5.

(Thank you!) Sampled draft @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2017 as “Jule IPA”. Hazy orange, white head. Nose is strange orange perfume, doughy. Doughy powdery hop perfume, fair even if a bit strange, some nice cheese hops in the back do help it. Odd but fair.
