Can at home picked up from HOTM. A clear mostly clear golden coloured pour with a lasting rocky white head. Aroma is nutty pilsner malts, dill, coconut vibes, soachi light notes. Flavour is composed of earthy pale grains, grassy hop, mellow dill, assertive grassy bitterness , super crisp finish. Palate is super crips, highish carbonation. Lignering sorachi ace like character, hint of coconut, Fun but weird

Can from Against The Grain. Hazy amber body with a thick beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of raspberry and toffee. Flavour of fig, pine and caramel. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is lovely - a clean and well balanced red IPA. An excellent tribute to Sierra Nevada’s Celebration Ale. I’d like to try them side by side. (Update - Three days after the first review, I did a side-by-side tasting. For me, both beers are equals. Celebration Ale is easy to drink and well rounded; Donzoko’s beer has greater bitterness.)
