Heart of Darkness's biggest, hoppiest beer. A wonderfully vibrant beer, with grapefruit and piney tones, we’ve crammed in 7 kinds of hops which deliver a full blown assault on your taste buds. This is a big but beautifully balanced IPA, with a bright and fun bitter flavour - a true hop heads delight.

330 ml on tap at Manzo craft beer place, District 1, HCM, Vietnam. VND144k for 330ML.
Dark tea-coloured IPA with a medium foamy head. It hits you in the face with fruit, apples, pears, peaches, melons. Bloody name a fruit (not durian) and it’s in there! It’s a great nose.
Bitterness is awesome (102 IBU) yet a perfect balance for the fruity full-on-ness of this beautiful brew. The head only stayed ok for the first couple of sips. But who cares.
Warning. This thing has a good kick. So one glass and move on?

Drank several of these on a recent trip to Cambodia. Poured from a bottle ,not quite clear orange/gold with thin white head leaving minimal lacing. Nose is citrus and tropical with hints of pine. Taste follows with a hoppy bite and a surprisingly smooth finish. Wouldn't hesitate to drink again.

Bottle shared @ KJUBZT tasting June 2019. Pours a golden colour, slightly hazy, with a white head. Aroma's of tropical sour fruit and some sweetness. Retronasal it's dankish and fruity. Flavour is rather bitter with light sweetness. Medium bodied. Long finish, firm bitterness. Not bad, but there's room for improvement.
