The king had heard of a contraption that could make the most tropical treats in the land, but he was never one to concern himself with rumors. That is until it arrived in front of his throne, and its creator demonstrated its mechanical magic. There was no denying that the robot was a feat of sweet, and a titan of tropical power. It was clear that man and machine working together would usher in a new era of supreme hoppiness! King Machine is a Double IPA that unites two of our favorite juice bombs! Pouring a rich orange color with layers of sticky foam, creamy hop-saturated fruity notes jump out of the glass. Citra and Amarillo hops burst with grapefruit aromas as well as sweet summer peach. Adding to these citrus notes, Columbus and Simcoe lend aromas of orange and lemon peel while bolstering its underlying hoppy dank character. Galaxy then rides atop these aromas with bright notes of fresh pineapple. Long live the king!

Pours murky dark gold into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Sweet mango, papaya and melon aromas. Soft with hot melon, overripe mango, white smarties and papaya upfront turning to dusty tropical fruit skin in the medium length finish.

Can at home from J and B Craft Drinks, Amsterdam, in the garden, 28th June 25. Pours a thick soupy dark orange haze. Aroma is dank, juicy, earthy, skunky. Taste is intense, dank, earthy, bittersweet, candied and caramelised oranges, bitter finish and linger. Great.

Probably gotten some oxygen into it, not terrible but clearly subpar.

Smooth, sweetish and slightly tropical fruity with some pine, grass and herbal notes, hints of bitterness and maltiness, some oxidation?

Tewks draught, 3/15/25.
Deep, near-turbid, bronze-maize-golden. Medium-sized, off-white, dense head.
Good juiciness with vibrant tropical and citrus fruits combined. Neither too light and juicy, nor too heavy on the hop acidity, which JM can sometimes be. Very clean, clear, bright and aromatic, with dainty, honey-like malts backing gently.
Incredibly juicy with ample bitterness balancing the sweet, fruity hop-malt combo immediately. Supple, round texture with deep malts. Juicy with cherry and candied citrus and a transition to more dry, piney Galaxy and woody Simcoe. These work really well together; the King softening the strong acidity and providing a bit more malt depth to its lighter body. Kind of ridiculously drinkable for its size...

Pours a banana-caramel color, with rather smallish head. Aroma is a combo of bright, juicy citrus, tropical fruit, and stone fruit. Flavors follow. Soft mouthfeel. Mild to moderate levels of hop bitterness in the finish. Very nice!
