On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of salt, light coriander, and citrus. Flavour is somewhat tart and sweet, with a nice sea salt character, some citrus and a touch of sweetness. Nice blend of salt and sweet. Very good and refreshing.

On tap at Twin Sails, pours a cloudy plaque yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of tropical stone fruits, considerable pith, some mango, and citrus. Flavour is along the same lines, with truckloads of tropical stone fruits, mango, citrus and even a light tartness from it all. Lots of resinous and piney hops in there as well, with a very juicy body. Excellent.

Cloudy blond colour, not the usual murky, with stiff peaks. Mild hop aroma, compared to the usual Boombox offering, this one is less dank or juicy, and more grassy. It seems fairly sweet, but the mouthfeel is lean, and it's balanced by the moderate bitterness level; the hop character too is in balance between classic grassy hops and modern citrusy or dank hops, with notes of tropical fruit and caramelized pineapple.
East-West Coast IPA. Excellent.

Once more, side to side with Twin Sails Kicking in Speakers collaboration; strong , quite fruity, a bit too dirty, heavy; the hopping in the final is far from impressive. Good but not their best.

Murky orange yellow color. Fruity and cheesy aroma, strawberry and mango. The mouthfeel is a bit chalky, good malt base, moderately sweet, fruity and resiny hops.
It's a good hop juicy, a bit chaotic though.

Taster at Alibi Room with Sonnet. Pours an opaque dirty golden like a mango nectar. Aroma is fruit bomb with lots of canned peaches, apricots and passionfruit notes. Taste is similar. Quite low carbonation. Good stuff, but it is more a milkshake, than DIPA :-)

Murky orange color. Aroma of passion fruit jelly, peach, freshly cut trees, light mint. Strong body; Tart, a bit juicy, pithy, moderately sweet, with a hint of roasted coconut, astringent and a bit yeasty in the final.
A bad way to start the weekend. Not cohesive at all.

On tap at Callister, pours an opaque filthy orangey yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out heaps of passionfruit upfront, followed by a bit of lactose and a hint of coconut. Flavour is very juicy, with loads of tart juicy passionfruit, bitter resinous hops, a hint of coconut, but notice of the lactose. Tart and juicy, with a nice bitter finish. Very nice.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy orangey yellow with white head. Pine, citrus, and an odd floral characteristic that off puts the beer a bit. Perhaps it’s just this batch. Not sure...

On tap at Callister, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of dank hops, tropical pithy fruits and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of pleasantly dank hops, some pine and pithy tropical stone fruits. Everything is in good balance, making this a pleasure to drink. Great stuff.
