Fine, a double IPA. Nearly always tastier than an ordinary IPA ,this was good, but I've had better. Can't see this becoming a regular unless it gets just a bit better.

Fine, a hazy with some fresh hops but honestly just OK. Can't see this becoming a regular.

Not quite as good as I had hoped, more coconut and perhaps an imperial version next time? but nice enough. Would buy again - yes.

330ml can at Benny’s Place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear golden colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is light toffee caramel. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a fresh, smooth, sweet toffee, light herbal, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, fresh, juicy light lemon citrus, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Very sessionable.

Nice enough, I do prefer a double IPA to the standard versions and this is fine.

[On tap at a restaurant in Wellington, NZ.] An amber pour with a close white head; trope fruit aroma; tropical fruit taste with a touch of pine resin and a solid malty body.

One of the Top 25 beers in NZ in 2025 according to the NW competition.
A decent IPA but the coconut is so subtle in my can that I wouldn't be able to pick it. Disappointing.

330ml can. Pours a deep clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is moderate pine hops. Beers is nicely weighty, near dy with good pine hop flavours, low bitterness and decent length.
Fine.
