IPA - Imperial / Double Rotating
Score
7.63
ABV: 7.8% IBU: 100 Ticks: 25
Giant aromas of pineapple and tropical fruit jump from this enticingly complex double IPA. True to its name, this brew delivers a heavy smack of dry hops and a double dose of bitterness in the finish.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is citrus, pineapple, mild herbs as well as some mango notes. Flavour is mango, some floral, fruity and wooden tones with a bit lactose too. Not that much bitterness. Fresh, but I'd like more bitterness if it wanted to be an IPA.

Can. Murky golden body. Frothy white head. Aroma of orange juice, citrus peach, pineapple. Sweet intro, moderate to heavily bitter finish. Medium body, moderately oily texture, lively carbonation. Flavors of bitter orange peel, mango, tropical fruit, citrus. Lightly sour and lightly peppery alcohol. A bit of a mishmash of flavors, but overall a nice double IPA.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clearish gold with white foam. Big crushed pineapple aromas with some dank and pith notes. Dried pineapple and tangerine on the palate. Smooth and great balance. ABV hidden well. Another TG hit.

'Bottle - undated. Almost opaque gold with an inch of white head. Aroma of whole juiced oranges, honey buns, some herbal notes. Nice but not all that vibrant. 7+ Nothing gluey about the mouthfeel but you wouldn''t really call it clean. Moderate chewed cracker sweetness, broad citrus flavours, some herbs and pine, strong bitterness takes a while to struggle through. But when it does it''s not excessive and the citrus and some peachy and herbal notes linger. Not the suggested hop monster but the finish is lovely and everything works together.'
