Hogan Sampling		28 Feb 2026	2nd beer of this visit: A very good frothy head and lacing lasting well on this deep amber-coloured Maharaja IPA. A very tropical fruited first hit. A hoppy fruitiness jumping up with New World hops, most likely Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy, delivering tropical fruit, mango and mandarin notes. A dry hoppy and resinous bitter note winning over the fruits. A hop-infused fruity finish with hints of citrus, orange and pine lingering. Perfectly palatable as served in very good condition.
