Sometimes you just want more. So we’ve made a beer with more of the best ingredients available, More malt. More hops. More flavour. This hop bomb is brewed in the tradition of the US West Coast IPA’s with generous hop additions throughout the boil and loads of dry hopping at the end of fermentation. Enjoy!

Bottle from Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear copper colour with a frothy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is grassy hop citrus, light dry spice. The flavour is moderate bitter with a big woody hop, light toothpaste bitter palate and lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with lively carbonation.

On tap at Mrs Parma, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out floral hops, some perfume and some astringent notes on the end. Flavour tastes like detergent, with lots of soapy, perfumey, floral hops. Dry finish with the soapy hops upfront. Doesn't seem as good as the ratings suggest. Meh.

Good night Australia, Its been fun! A nice send off, a clear crisp, tasty IPA. Bold but accessible, pine resin but enough malt to capture the novice’s attention. A new appreciation Of IPA from a different perspective.

(On tap) Clear amber with reasonable white head. Nice citrus and pine aroma. Light body with good carbonation. Fresh tang over biscuity malt to start. Peppery spice develops and then the hops build for a nice bitter finish. Not over the top just nicely very hoppy. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

From a 330ml bottle on 9/6/2014. Pours a slightly cloudy deep golden with a small head. Has a nice fruit driven hop aroma with some floral notes. Flavour wise, it’s big and bold. There’s some caramel malt up front, but the sweet fruit comes to the fore, particularly apricot, lychee, peach, pear pineapple and mango. The hops are big, grapefruity, lingering and enormously satisfying. Has a medium body and fairly lively carbonation. A very impressive, supremely well balanced IPA - certainly right up there in terms of Aussie brews. Another winner from Boatrocker.

Lots of aromas - honey, biscuit, pine, spice and watermelon to name a few. Strong but well balanced hops in the mouth leaving a really great aftertaste. A restrained and complex hop bomb, if such a thing exists.

Keg at Mrs Parmas, Melbourne, Victoria. Hazy pale amber, small head. Rich bready lychee arom. Mid sweet with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Some bread and caramel, plenty of mango and lychee. Really bitter finish. This brewer knows how to treat hops!

Pours dark amber/copper with a large, lasting head.Nose shows fruit confectionery, big melon, paw-paw and lychee notes. Also some sweet clean malt underneath.Some of the fruit transfers through as flavours but its more about the masses of sweet malt. An assertive bittterness follows but not enough to fight the malt.Carbonation is a bit full-on.
