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.
