My 18th port brewing brew. Tap at mad mex robinson. OK, a sweet hoppy nose with even a hint of what lurks inside. Clear pale yellow eye. First taste is a fruity thing then it immediately goes big hop on yah. A slam in the face with hippy hoppyness. Continues like that clear to the end, whew. Terribly on style, what else can be said? Think hoppy rototiller. If you like hops, put this on yer bucket list, whew, ehehjeheheh

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours brassy gold with a white head. Aroma is lightly juicy and papaya and citrus. Med body at least. Flavor is juicy, bitter, citrus, papaya and maybe some pineapple acidity. Lots going on here. Nice level of malt support. Going bitter grapefruit as time goes on. Maybe that was the acidity. Very tasty stuff.

bottle, i think from boxbeers. clear yellow, smooth white head. easy-going hoppy aroma, notes of dough, citrus, grapefruit peel. aroma is not very heavy or strong for an ipa, even less for an imperial ipa, faint fruity notes too. Flavor is very hoppy and very bitter, exotic fruits, grapefruit, grapefruit peel, bitter oranges, grapes, fainter notes resembling pineapple and honey melon.. Boy this thing is hoppy bitter, IBU must be pretty high. One of the most bitter iipa's i remember to have tasted. The super high bitterness is well covered with fruity notes and with a good malty base, so the overall flavor impression is solid and very tasty. Absolutely a beer flavored for diehard hop-heads. A bit strange the aroma is so subtle considering the agressive flavor.

On tap at the brewery pours out a golden topped with a white head. Nose is rich malts citrus pine hops and some spice. Taste is more of the nice hop mix and plenty malts.

0,7 litre Bottle from BevMo Oceanside. Golden with little white head. Tropical aroma. Too much bitterness for my liking.
