Sensei is a Triple India Pale Ale & the BIG brother of Master of Karate! Sensei is fermented on our house yeast then hopped with Mosaic, Amarillo, & Galaxy. Notes of citrus, mango, pineapple, & pine with a creamy mouthfeel. Think candied oranges.
Admin: For a short time Aslin called this beer out as being DDH, it is and was.

I open a 12 oz can acquired from Half Time and have it tilting inside of a Teku glass. Nice. A milky light yellow body, minimal skim of fully white foam. The nose is good. Orange peel, bread and hops too. The taste goes a bit different to the scent. Hops, oranges, crackers, malt, a spot of grapefruit. Rather decent imo.

Honeycomb, white grape, apricot, caramel nose. Clear copper, medium head. Caramel, honeycomb apricot, grass. Full body, easy carbonation. Complex and intense, but in domebways, uncomplimentary.

Aromas are slightly oxidized resin hops, cat pee and wet grain. Flavors are similar to nose, not quite balanced bitter, sweet and carbonation.

Draft at Tap99. Hazy gold, white head. Tropical fruit, juicy finish. Doesn't seem like 11% - dangerous.

Pours unclear, darker blonde. Medium white head. Scent is full, creamy, mild tropical fruityness, but fairly silent overall. Taste is full, smooth, gentle bitterness. Fairly sweet. Milder on the alcohol, it's very well hidden which I like. Fruityness is lovely - making this dangerously drinkable.

16oz can from Tavour. Thick, murky dark golden with a thick, fluffy , white head. Leaves lacing all the way down. Zesty, fruity aroma, citrus, light tropical, hint of stone fruit. Taste brings some bready malts to hold up the fruity blend that finishes with a zippy bitterness.
