Can from Gedeelde Vreugde. Medium thick, tightly 'papery' lacing, off-white, stable head, opening middle but retaining as a pattern of dotty 'islands'; lightly hazy, warm and pure golden blonde colour, yellowish with ochre tinge. Aroma of raw garlic, a lot of yellow grapefruit, old cheese, cumin seed, lemon rind, lime juice, gin, dried out white bread, apple peel, pine resin, olive oil, white pepper. Fruity, crisp and clean onset, green banana, unripe pineapple, starfruit, sweetish with a sourish edge, softish carbo. Smooth, oily mouthfeel, feeling lighter than expected from a near-9% ABV beer really; 'white' bready maltiness, bit understated in the 'biscuit' department; long, spicy hop bitter finish as is to be expected, garlic-ish, very grapefruity, white pepper, 'green' citrus peel, followed by warming, gin-like alcohol which, in all, remains perfectly in place. Exemplary as expected, but could perhaps do with a tad more caramelized maltiness?

Can from Beer Republic, at 8.5%, canned on 06/28/17 so 4.5 months old now, 16 oz sample. Clear golden color, short frothy head. Aroma of grassy and flowery hop, together with some sweet candy maltiness. Same goes for flavor, grassy bitterness, sweet candy. Tickling bitterness on the tongue. Pretty heavy still, even though the malt is quite clean and not caramel heavy, like most Dutch brewers would do. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pizza Port Kook Double IPA on 14 Nov 2017 at 23:23 - Score: 8

16 ounce can. Pours clear bright orange hue with a medium white head. A big tropical citrus nose. Sweet, medium bitterness, very clean, soft perfume. A big pale ale, really not distinguishable from an IPA. Very good. Super smooth and easy to drink.

opalescent golden colour, large, dense off-white head; aroma of grapefruit, tropical fruits, pine, herbal and grape seed notes, as well as slight apricot; taste is the same with some honey notes and spicy-peppery aftertaste; great IPA! not too sophisticated but very refreshing

Can from CBB. 4.8% abv. Honey malt nose, lemon and orange, bit of stone fruit. Bright, clear gold with a fine, medium head. Tangy lemony hops, light crisp malt, somewhat sweet, bit of tang from the hops. A touch of tropical fruit. Light and easy drinking, tastes fine but not all that much going on.
