Handsome clear amber brew with long-lasting white foam in the Maredsous goblet. Sudsy and sharp mouthfeel. Aroma of orange and mango with a nose of passionfruit and apricot. Clean and sweet with the fruity wave washing over your tongue. Massive orange peel and just a hint of the grapefruit rind.

Rich and mouth-filling. Moderate bitter aftertaste is in line with the sugar and fruit. Quite tangy. Well balanced overall. Highly sippable and a good example of how to make a DIPA. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Barons Market.

Sweet tropical and light citrus hoppy nose on this one! Taste follows with a tropical and piney hoppy bitterness on the swallow. Well-balanced and good depth and feel.

This DIPA from ABC is a sleeper. The Ninja of DIPA's. From it's hazy golden pour to it's citrus and grapefruit taste that leaves you with a very quick bitter hop taste, just the way I like it. Not at all expected in a DIPA and was very surprised by the superb taste. While doing yard work, I had a pint of this 9.5% ABV heavy hitter and felt it's ninja like qualities sneak up on me while I was relaxing. Great mellow experience and a great beer.

22oz bottle served in a nonic pint. Packaged 08.14.19. Wife brought it home from a business trip to San Diego.

Pours a clear yellow-amber with a pretty big head and medium carbonation. Smell is mild, tropical/citrus.

Taste is west coast. Bitter hops, piny and grapefruit pith.

Mouthfeel is dry, resinous. Overall, good solid beer.

This one is a straight juice bomb banger. I’m talking huge! This thang is a MOAIPA - mother of all IPA’s. Massive boom boom like a B-52 doing business. Huge all over the place like a Kardashian bending over to pick up a quarter.

Raw hide!
