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.

10/X/25 - 12Fl. Oz. can from Ramstein airbase, shared @ Cybu’s birthday party, BB: n/a, 07 PKGD 022725 14:30 (damn, bought this in august, at 6M old) (2025-1001)
Clear dark blond beer, huge creamy yellowish head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, very fruity, juicy, tropical fruits, mango, a little soapy, some vanilla. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, tropical fruits, pretty dank, earthy, caramel malts, some honey, good bitterness. Aftertaste: sweet touch, malty, honey, oxidized, orange peel, bitter, fruity, nice, a little chemical, floral finish. Probably not in it’s prime, at 6M and transported and stored in god knows what conditions.

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.

19.2oz stovepipe can from Albertsons. Cloudy golden pour, one finger lasting fluffy head. Faint citrusy aroma, oranges. Taste doesn't add too much here, light citrus zest, quick finish. Hides it's ABV well.

Dumbed-down from the original recipe, sweeter and boozier without being noticeably juicier, an attempt to cut in on the giant-can ubiquity of shitty Voodoo Ranger and its shitty variants. Not an improvement, no longer a reasonable alternative to 90-Minute.
