Fairly crisp golden and light peach coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of pineapple, citrus, grain, resin, alcohol and a fairly large dose of pungent bittered biscuity malts. Medium-bodied; Super deep alcohol flavour at first with a lot of potency and pungency with a ton of hop flavours that shows tropical fruits, citrus, resin and a lot of floral flavours. Aftertaste shows the fruit flavours at first with a lot of pineapple, guava and mango notes, but the malt hits hard afterwards and leaves a ton of bitterness and astringency in its wake. Overall, a decent enough beer with a lot of hop flavours and astringency that don't make this incredibly easy-to-drink, but also show some metallic and harsher tones towards the end, but a few bright notes make this a bit more easy from the fruits and light sweetness. I sampled this sixteen-ounce, pint-sized can purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 31-January-2018 for US$4,49 sampled on the train from Washington to New York on 17-March-2018, Saint Patrick's Day!

4 oz pour on draft at Spacebar. Golden amber with off-white head. Aromas of tropical fruit, citrus, light floral notes, some malt. Tastes of big tropical fruit, citrus, floral notes, light malt, some booze. Medium body with a semi-dry finish. Juicy mouthfeel. Nice double IPA.
