Bigger, Hazier, Juicier! This Hazy Imperial IPA is packed with juicy hop flavors and a big 9.5% ABV, all wrapped up in smooth drinkability. Notes of orange are prominent, along with more citrus from the huge hop lineup—is that a hint of yuzu? There’s also a nice underlying sweetness of berry.

Tall can. Opaque golden body with a lasting white head. Biscuit malts and sugar syrup in the aroma with grapefruit, tangerine, orange jam and some grassy and floral notes. Taste of biscuit, hay, grapefruit, floral hops, grass, apricot jam and a hint of booze. Not too bitter, but the hoppy taste lasts for quite a while. Great DIPA.

Big voii 19.2fl oz can. It pours hazy golden - yellow with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, juicy, peach, mango, white grape, melon, fruit salad, some marmalade sandwiches and gummy bears. The taste is dry, bitterness which lingers, punchy boozy boost, pithy, zesty, orangey fruits, peachy, mango, melon, blossom, peppery spice, touch of rawness and a touch chalky with a warming finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Punchy and fruity. Solid.

opalescent to hazy golden colour, medium sized ecru-ish head; aroma of pine resiny, citrusy-orange peel oily, marmalade, tropical fruity and biscuity notes; perfectly balanced bittersweet taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma and some horseradish-like spicy aftertaste; really good one

CD 032525, dus toch alweer bijna 9 maanden oud. Het was dan ook maar 2,24 bij de Appie. Iets troebele goudgele body en een standvastige witte kraag. Geur is fruitig, ik ruik duidelijk perzik, maar misschien ook wat peer. Retronasaal: zoetig, meer peer eigenlijk, maar ook nog wat perzik, een tikje hars. Smaak is vrij zoet en iets bitter. Medium body. Warmende alcohol. Bitterheid neemt toe in de afdronk, beetje droog ook. Jammer van die "natural flavors", met hop kan je ook leuke dingen bereiken...
