Clear amber brown with tiny white head. Lovely aroma of pine with toffee hints. Medium body, lovely carbonation. Rich start with toffee and fruity notes. The hops steadily build through the palate for a big bitter finish. Excellent.

Golden with a white head - Citrus hop aroma - Malt body to support a good hop profile that has citrus and herbal bitterness - The herbal hops goes into a dry bitter fruity finish - This was good

Clear and golden pour, some white bubbles on the top. Fresh piney and lightly fruity nose, some resins, and a lot of grass. Dank. Tastes piney and super hop-forward, higher than average bitterness. Tastes dry, resiny, lots of hop oils there. Bitter and dry. Hop tooth satisfied.

lovely deep golden color and frothy white head. Big bright nose with tons of stonefruit and over ripe mangoes with big biscuit notes. Very dank with sticky sweet maltiness. Chewy, aggressive bitterness, intense, dank, semi-sweet and unapologetic on many level. Nothing subtle about this at all. Not for the faint hearted. After so many NE IPAs recently, I loved the difference.

Draught @ Brewco, Manhattan Beach CA. Cloudy golden orange with foamy whitish head, orange-mango aroma, adequate carbonation, bitter citrus-mango taste with alcohol overtones, thin body, long finish. The alcohol escapes quite a bit.

slightly opalescent golden colour, medium sized off-white head; aroma of overripe, almost rotten pineapple, mango, papaya, maybe some watery peach and biscuity-toffee notes;taste has basically the same notes with somehow less intensity;well, it is a correct IIPA, but based on its ratings I expected more

Bomber in my hotel room on 25th March 2019 (Fin Hotel, Oceanside California). I hate plastic cups! Three pours, each was a golden orange colour with a decent white crown every time. Dank, yes; Sticky, no. Enjoyed it though.
Past its best-by date, but still Intensely hoppy, lots of orange fruits and bitter edge

Canned 473ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb. Clear golden coloured, small to medium sized white head, citrusy nose with whiff of alcohol. Tropical and citrusy fruits, alcohol, light grapefruity and moderate strong bitterness in the finish. Pleasant one.
