Pours a chill hazed golden orange thumb sized off white head, good lacing.
Aroma is mellow for a big ass 130 IBU beer, light dankness, pine, over ripe fruits.
Taste is big though nice big sweet malt base, loaded with good hop flavors. Pine, bold malts boozy big body. Tropical fruits float underneath, mingled with apricot. Really nice taste big fruity, sweet plus nice hop bite.
Mouthfeel big medium nice solid with smooth carbonation.
Overall drinkability is too god for 9.5% could lead to problems. Maybe could use some dry hopping but defiantly loaded with hops even if its not bright smelling.

Looks hazy with a rich head and nice lacing. Smells piney, fruity with a tropical tang. Tastes big! A tad boozy with a nice tropical middle. Ends with a juicy punch. Lives up to its name. Compare to Alchemist Crusher.
