Poured a nice caramel, honey, clear color with 3-to-4 fingers of khaki white, rocky head when I got it. Lots of bubbles coming up from the sides of the glass. Great looking spiderweb, spotty lacing. Very good retention. (Sight - 4.25)
Smelled Citra, floral, soapy pine, sweet tangerine, orange blossom, peach and caramel. (Smell - 4.25)
Taste was not quite as good as the nose. Got Citra, booziness, soapy pine, bitter mango, peach, apricot, earthy Citra rind, caramel, orange creamscicle and tropical. (Taste - 4.00)
Medium body. Oily-to-creamy texture. Average carbonation. Bitter, abrupt finish. (Feel - 4.00)
Not quite as good as the regular Blazing World in my opinion, but glad I tried it. (Overall - 4.00)

3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 jc1762 (315) - Tokyo, JAPAN - SEP 13, 2015
Whiskey glass showing dark amber
The nose shows extremely subtle grapefruit.
The palate is medium bodied and well carbonated. Flavors are not much, merely some hop bitterness and light maltiness to support the beer.

The base isnt an IPA yet the mega version is an imperial IPA?
Anyway, more malty than the base, yet just as smooth and danker as well. At least a 4.2...

Draught @ Modern Times Tasting Room, San Diego. Aroma has tropical fruits and pineapples. Flavour has menthol, gluey tones and some herbal bitterness. Not exactly my thing, I like the non-mega better.

[ Keg ][ 2oz ][ Festival of Dankness ][ ~$2 ][ Plastic Taster ][ 8.22.15 ]
>> Another MT disappointment at the festival. Clear amber, good foam. Celery off-flavors. Chewy and sticky, no dry hop aroma. Forgettable amongst the IPA madness that day.
