On-tap served in a stemmed glass at Mikkeller Bangkok.
Hazy orange hue with a finger of white effervescence covering, it stands for a while and dissipates to some bubble film atop with some lacing left.
The aroma is forward with lime and grapefruit from hop as well as the notes of tropical, pineapple, intense pine, and spice. Malt is also there with its bread and sweet caramel.
Intense hop in the taste, besides of the solid piney and grassy bitterness, it is quite juicy also with notes of grapefruit, pineapple, and lime as well as some spice. Malt plays in supporting role with some sweet caramel and bread. The end and aftertaste is covered and lasting with persistent hop bitterness.
Medium body with quite smooth mouthfeel and some lively crisp carbonation that is okay to carry all the things well, finish is very dry. Solid hoppy brew, it ensures good satisfaction level for the hop head.

325ml pour on-draught @ the brewpub for a wallet-destroying 95000 VND...this may be the most expensive beer in Vietnam.
8.70% ABV.
APPEARANCE: 2-3cm wide off-white head. Frothy, coating, thick. Retention is good for the ABV - ~9 minutes.
Body colour is a murky orange-brown of below average vibrance.
Looks okay for an imperial IPA. Far from unique or special.
AROMA: Candied citrus peel, caramelized malt (lending it an overly sweet aroma), cotton candy, gooey orange chicken.
More emphatic of sweetness than bitterness, which makes it seem imbalanced if not flat-out wrong for the style.
Aromatic intensity is average for the style.
TASTE: Ugh. Follows the aroma, going big on the candied grapefruit and orange peel, imparting far too much sweetness.
Hop selection was poor; this hop profile is underwhelming and weak.
The imbalance coupled with the noticeable booze makes this a mediocre IIPA.
TEXTURE: Sticky, slightly syrupy, smooth, wet, off in terms of carbonation, medium-bodied. Not ideal for the style, nor even conventional. Lackluster.
OVERALL: I consider PSBC one of (if not *the*) best brewery currently in Vietnam. This is some of their least enjoyable work, but it's still preferable to many Vietnamese lagers. Its price in comparison to local norms will keep me far away, but it's great to see Vietnamese breweries attempting imperial IPAs. That said, as a Coloradan, I hoped for better given the brewer's connection to Upslope.
