3.8 Rating #2392 - 2016.03.26 - Bottle from @beerblast. Pours a rich golden, small white head, minimal lacing. Aroma is mango, very tropical. On the palate, similar tropical flavours, some orangey sweetness, mild resin, mild pastry dough malt. Medium bodied and extraordinarily balanced. Great depth and crushable at 6.7%

3.4 Bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot! Unclear orange in the glass, small head. Tropical fruity on the nose. Taste starts with a strong hop bitterness, fruity in the background. Low sweetness, malt and caramell in the second row. Lomgs lasting bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice.

3.5 Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Wonderful hoppy-fruity aroma. Starts fine hoppy-grasy, really nice fruity notes of mango, orange, peaches. Mild bitterness. Finish a bit less hoppy. Quite drinkable. Nice IPA.

3.2 Not bad for a hopped up beer. Great rich, caramel color, which stood out. Not necessarily one i would get again but overall a decent beer.

4.1 Butelka 0,355l. Piękna piana, praktycznie nie opada. Piwo jest klarowne. Aromat bardzo dobry, rześki, mango, marakuja. W smaku trochę więcej słodowości, ale nadal pierwsze skrzypce gra chmiel. Umiarkowana goryczka, niezbyt długa, niezalegająca. Delikatny alkohol.

3.7 Pours clear pale amber with some head. A clean mango aroma with some papaya. Quite dry with an crisp taste and a short bitter finish. Solid.

4.2 On tap at the brew pub in Chico. One of the better IPAs I’ve had from Sierra Nevada. Nose is sweet tropical fruits and floral hops. Taste is a lot of mango hop flavors and nice sweet malt backbone. Really nice head retention as well. Solid IPA.

3.3 Bottle. Nice hoppy, grassy beer. A bit thin, finish rather sweet for an ipa. Aftertaste ok.

3.8 [backlog] 18-05-16 // bottle at home. Pours hazy golden orange. Hoppy fruity nose. Nice tropical fruit aroma, mango, papaya, passion fruit. Medium bitter.

3.6 Bottle. Hazy golden with a small white head with good regeneration. Nose has tropical fruits; mango citrus and light bread. Mild flavour with mango, citrus, peach, light bread. Medium body, low carbonation, medium bitter. Long dry and bitter finish. Good, even at 6 months.

4.7 Pours honey golden, white head, super retention. Nose is tropical, mango, melon, orange. taste is fresh with fruity notes and medium bitter finish. Extreme drinkabillity. I can only recommend this beer.

3.5 Visual: 6-pack. Pours translucent deep orange with a very small dissipating head, a thin layer of micro retention, lots of fast steady streams. Nose: mango hop oils, background toffee barley malt. (lvl-5)-pungency Attack: crisp, thicker-smooth viscosity Mid-palate: (lvl-5-sweetness), mango-papaya notes, background toffee barley malt Finish: a touch thin, bitter peel hops, slight grassy, lingering medium bitterness Summary: Superb creamy smooth entry, compounding bitterness from the hops with each sip. The palate gets fatigued a little over halfway through a 12oz. Decent, but one is enough. I prefer a Sculpin for tropical IPA flavour.

3.5 Draft at Snallygaster 2016. Poured a clear golden color with a white head. Aroma was pppery wheat, very mild tropical notes. Light floral, tropical fruit hop character. Okay.

3.6 Bottle. Hazy bright golden pour, small white head. Nose crisp and fresh, taste malty with a hoppy finish. Fairly mild. Medium body, soft carbonation.

3.6 Clear golden colour, white head. Hoppy aroma, quite fruity, guave, light mango and papaya. Rather bitter flavour, light sweet malts. Hoppy finish. Quite nice. (from 35cL bottle @ home)

3.9 Aroma - mix of citrus and floral hops dominate (notes of tropical fruit, orange, and peach.) Appearance - the body is a sunglow orange, hazy, with a mix of fine particulates. The head is 2+" and white, and fades very slowly. Some rings of lacing. Taste - has a mellow mix of hops. There is some floral, resin, and citrus hops (with qualities of tropical mix of orange, mango, and Polynesian fruits). Palate - medium body, oily feel, average carbonation, bitter finish that is long and focused on the side of the cheek and gums.

3.4 Hazy amber/gold,white head.biscuity,tealiketropical fruit nose and palate. Well balanced,softly carbonated, long bitter hop finish

3.7 Aroma is grapefruit, passion fruit, apricot, honey and caramel. Taste is sweet light malts, honey, caramel and a full earthy, tarty hop profile that isn’t overwhelming. Appearance is a slightly hazy gold with a thin pearl head that retains fairly well.

3.7 Bottle from Kverneriet. Amber body, small white head. Pineapple, pine, resin, citrus flavour. Bitter. Medium body and carbonation.

3.9 In der Nase hoppige Früchte mit einer scharfen Note. Optisch, mit seiner orange/gelben Trübe, sehr ansprechend. Der Trunk dann relativ normal IPAig und etwas schmal, aber dafür zeigt der Abgang wahre Sierra Nevada Klasse, geht er doch schön bitter und mit einigen Weißweinverweisen durchs Ziel. Klasse. 355ml Flasche von der BIEROTHEK in Bamberg. Ca.3,50€.

3.4 Nose is fruity and it pours clear in amber with white head. Taste is also fruity but still distinctive malts and orange. Palate is long and bitter with orange notes and hops.

3.5 Hazy amber with small white head. Big tropical aromas smack you in the face immediately - huge passionfruit, nectarine, mandarin, pineapple, maybe a little mango, caramel malt. The caramel maltiness is clear in the taste, pineapple, tangerine, grapefruit, passionfruit, grassiness, a little pine. Clean fermentation profile, quite smooth long bitterness. Medium bodied, oily. Quite good.
