Pours a medium golden color with a small head. Aroma is tropical fruit, taste is less so, with almost a dank taste of hops and you notice a hint of alcohol. Really good IIPA. BOD 7-30-2025

Grunt fill from Alertsons. Malt bomb. Dark, hazy amber, small filmy head. Malty aroma and taste, follows the English style. Malty, caramelly, and slightly metallic. Not bad, but the parts don’t necessarily add up and complement each other.

The beer is a bit boozy, especially for the abv, but this is otherwise a nicely crafted DIPA, with balance of sweet malt and hoppy bitterness. The beer is a tad bit sweeter than I normally like to see in a DIPA, but otherwise, this is a solid, well crafted DIPA.
