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.

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.

Can shared by Joen. Clear bright yellow color, white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, hops, quite sweet I must say. In the end though, not bad.

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...

Can from Albert Heijn store in Amsterdam, Netherlands. A hazy golden/orange coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Sweet, hoppy, malty, caramel action. Decent enough.

0.568 l can from 'Beyond Beer', best before June 2025. Hazy, golden yellow with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity and a bit dank aroma of passion fruit, mango, pineapple and light peach. Rather sweet, fairly fruity-floral, slightly dank and a bit boozy taste of pineapple, passion fruit, mango and some peach, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, slightly boozy finish. Full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty stuff, super fresh and fruity, not too sweet or boozy yet.
