Death by Tickle
Levante Brewing Company

Canned 11/26/25, into an Ethereal Brewing tulip.

Pours a hazy dark orange, darker than expected, with creamy white foam, very fine bubbles and excellent head retention. Aroma is pineapple and papaya alongside a little floral/herbalness and rich amber malt. Flavor is overripe fruit, papaya, and grapefruit juice with a moderate amount of amber malt. There's very low bitterness and the finish isn't actually very sticky. The hop character isn't incredibly vibrant but it is tasty, very smooth, creamy, and fruity with next to no dankness or vegetal flavors. I enjoy the malt presence a lot, since it's mostly just a little vanilla and then tons of standard oats and wheat rather than something like an old school IPA with amber malt. Not really that boozy either, although some of the 10.4% feels apparent in the slightly sugary finish and the overripe fruit flavors. Feel is good, appropriately soft and smooth, but with a lower body than I expected and pretty much no alcohol presence.

Overall, stupid name aside, this is a good IPA. Definitely doesn't feel as big as it really is and fills the niche of "really strong zero bitterness hazy", but not the best in that niche (my #1 no bitterness TIPA is IdonteverwanttoBU by The Veil).

Poured into a wide mouth, grip shaped goblet: color is gold, mild haziness but not thick, head is off white with mixed froth, head lingers with a solid top and lacing on the glass sides.

Smell is candy like blend from malt, hops, and booze; notes of citrus pith, berries, honey, earth, slightly sweet malt, ester.

Taste is similar with light, candied sweetness from hops/malt/ethanol; flavors are citrus pith, some light honey, berries, hint of pine, more sweet malt, light booziness.

Mouthfeel is low carbonation, moderate sweetness, moderate bitterness for its strength; lighter in presence than many at this strength.

Overall a big TIPA with balanced sweetness, hoppiness, and bitterness; not a big hop bomb nor a big overly sweet haze juice, more of a softened big IPA.

 

nice combination of hops makes this ipa an enjoyable beer to drink

 

A: The beer is hazy pale yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that has excellent retention properties and consistently left a short head covering the surface and lots of lacing down eh sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas candy are present in the nose along with notes of citrus and tropical fruits.
T: The taste follows the smell and only has a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit smooth and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This TIPA is definitely concentrated but does a very good job at masking nearly all of the alcohol from the taste.

16 0z can from Tavour. Dark golden body, hazy, peach nectar. Small silky, creamy head. Aroma is bready malts with a mixture of citrus and stone fruit. Taste brings a little bit of Tang with it, not too much, with some fruity sweetness and light bitterness. Hard to believe this is a 10.4% ABV beer

 

 

 

Pours an opaque light amber with an off-white or cream head, moderate lacing.

I agree with the reviewer below who describes the scent as pleasing but hard to pin. It's sweet, fruity and tropical.

Flavors are peach and mango, some pineapple, citrus, maybe lime, candy flavors. A hint of dankness, but sweet overall finishing with a pleasant bitterness.

Love the feel, light to medium with a very soft and silky carbonation. Overall a very good brew.

16oz can served in a pint glass. Bottom of the can says R.I.P. 09/12/19. Hopefully that's the canned on date, not best by date.

Pours a hazy light amber-yellow with a smallish head and medium carbonation. Smell is pleasing but hard to describe clearly. Booze for sure, and rich tropical juice.

Taste is very sweet and juicy.

Mouthfeel is smooth, medium bodied. Overall, it's pretty good.
