At 8.5% this is the biggest IPA in our lineup. The aroma of tropical fruit first hits you in the face following your pour followed by big grapefruit and pineapple flavors on the palate. It dry nks very well and gives off a copper/orange color with white head. Designed to be reasonably light in body for such a big beer to allow the hops to take center stage in this brew.

Tap at the Spektral Lounge, Makati. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a thin white head. The aroma is malt, tropical citrus fruit, some alcohol woody hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a malt, smooth, fresh, fruity, light dry pepper spice, alcohol hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

A golden DIPA with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, nice caramel malt with loads of resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, nice and smooth. In mouth, a sweet fruity malt with loads of citrusy resinous floral hops, pink grapefruit, alcohol warmth, very nice and complex. On tap at brewery.

Bottle. Lots of fruitiness, also considerable yeastiness but that might once again be due to disturbed sediment. The bitterness and hops flavour intensity slightly diminished by the age, but still a good drinkable beer.

Bottle kindly shared by fajry, many thanks. Hazy orange golden color with thick white head. Aroma of caramel malt, ripe fruits, hops. Taste, solid malty base with caramel, followed by tropical fruits, light zest, pines. Medium long hoppy bitter finish. Very good.
