Pours a hazy, orange coloration with a small, fluffy head. Smells of very light biscuity malt and tropical/citrus hops, with notes of mango, papaya and lime peel, with just a hint of grassy dankness and cat piss as well. Taste is a good balance of quite light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, slightly dank and grassy hops, with slightly overripe notes of mango, papaya, grapefruit and lime peel, as well as just a hint of mint on the aftertaste. Finishes with a very light bitterness and some mango, lime peel and hints of mint lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth, somewhat soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

While this makes for a perfectly decent TIPA, I expect more from FrauGruber when it comes to this style and it absolutely pales in comparison to Superstition, their other most recent example of the style. While there is a good, expressive hoppiness to this, it doesn't feel that well-defined, feeling just a little muddled and overripe, with a light booziness as well, although it's really not that bad. Overall, this makes for a pretty nice, rather hoppy TIPA that's dominated by the quite zesty grapefruit and lime peel notes from the Citra and Motueka hops, with lighter tropical notes and a great, although not quite excellent mouthfeel, while it's just a tad too sweet and grassy for my personal taste as well.

De Labirratorium. En copa Teku. Jugando a SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom. Fraugruber vuelve a sorprender con una tipa con un original perfil de lupulos y un elevado abv que no se nota nada en aroma no sabor
