Bottle from Beer and Cheese Taipei. Was a bit skeptical but have yet to come across an NZ DIPA I didn't like. Aroma is surprisingly honey and malty along with fruity hops. Taste is big floral and juicy fruit hops with a bubbly bitter booze finish. Gets better as it warms up too. Very good.

Mycket fruktig doft underbart. fruktig smak med tydligt inslag av honung. Fin dipa som kanske blir lite väl söt..
