Bottle from Brewdog.com. Great looking label. Dark orange pour with a middling white head. Enticing piney hop nose with some juicy tropical fruit present. Sweet caramel and hops aplenty in the flavour. Really drinkable with spot on hop bitterness. Lovely stuff. A first class DIPA, and definitely the best Japanese beer I’ve had the pleasure of tasting.

On tap. Pours a cloudy opaque golden with a frothy and dense off-white head with good retention. Very fresh citrusy hop aroma. Medium body, a sweet peachy fruitiness with lots of hoppy bite and heavy IBUs. Imperial perhaps not so much, but all the way from Japan and still appears very fresh. 170512
