From tap at De Koffer, Groningen. Bright and fruity with citrus, pineapple, pale malt, powdery notes, some fruit peel. Moderate to medium bitter, hint of alcohol but no hop burn (considering this is a TIPA). Nice.

Pours a slightly hazy orange-gold color with a medium thin white head that recedes steadily to a film. Sparse strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of herbal hops, citrus and malt. Medium body with flavors of herbal hop, citrus, tropical fruit and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a lingering fruity hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Oooh! A QIPA! A medium haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, a mild viscosity as expected for a brew with an abv in wine territory, doesn't stop good fine minerally carbonation from developing. Smooth pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness. Not for the first time tonight, Citra hops presenting very tropical. Mango and guava in particular. Hop spice bites in the mid and doesn't let go. Touches of candyish orange and a whisper of pink grapefruit on the slightly soft but hop spicy finish. Nicely hop forward but also, nicely delivered, other than a little viscosity in the mouthfeel, there wasn't anything giving away this brews hefty abv. File under 'tasty but treat with Uber respect'. Dangerous stuff indeed!

2nd January 2025Panda thanks to Cloin. A medium haze on this deep orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Nose of pine and melon is obvious. Smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Light malts but plenty of creamy sweetness. Quite a candy fruits hop profile, cooling pine and a little citrus. Light melon on the back end, light but clear and fairly bright. Crisp semi dry finish. Goes down very easy for a double digit tipa.

Can split at CBJ, picked up from Craft Central.ie online, 27/11/24. Hazed orange topped with an off white cap. Nose is melon, old skool vibes, grapefruit, mandarin, papaya. Taste comprises grapefruit, pine needle, melon, bitter orange, straw. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with earthy come grassy hop bitterness. Okay DIPA but not up to the usual HH standards.
