Aroma has quite intensive cocoa tones and very dark chocolate. Flavour has floury cocoa, very dark chocolate and grapefruity hoppiness. Finishes with some hop burn. The hoppiness does not quite fit in here; feels a bit harsh.

473ml can from Garden, Jiyugaoka. Quite surprised to find something like this over there! Creamy orange with some white foam on top. Nose is fruity sweetish, light resiny grassy hops there too. Feels fresh and green. Taste is quite intense, hop marmalade, not that cloying but it does have sturdy body which is balanced by a bucketload of hops. Alcohol is well hidden, 10% is nowhere to be seen. Solid stuff, one of the best and most balanced Triple IPA's I have had.

355ml can from Garden, Jiyugaoka. Pours darker orange, somewhat cloudy and white foam on top. Dryuty and parfumy nose, tropical but also a bit soapy-resiny. Taste is fruity, caramel marmalade with good oily and resiny body. Finish becomes dry, bitterness long and lingering. Decent and tasty IPA, still feeling fresh, you get your hop fix.
