440ml can. Murky golden with a white head. Aroma of ripe mango and peach, pineapple and grapefruit. Taste is sweet ripe tropical fruits, mango, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, boozy alcohol warmth in the finish. Medium bodied.
Not bad but found it pretty boozy despite being around the standard DIPA strength... would've guessed it was a 10%'er.
