Himitsu Sea Dragon : Appearance
Slight hazy orange colour with a plump white head on top that left some lacing down the side of the glass. A few bubbles remained on top until the end of drinking.
Himitsu Sea Dragon : Aroma
Mixed pine resinous nose with some light grape and orange notes lingering in the background. Smooth sweetness on the nose, with the pine notes becoming more prominent during drinking.
Himitsu Sea Dragon : Taste
Medium bitter punch to start with, that leads to a pine and grape like flavour in the body. Subtle intermingling of flavours during drinking, with a supportive malt sweetness – more pale ale like – and a subtle alcohol heat just to take the edge of the hops. No noticeable off flavours or sourness.
Himitsu Sea Dragon : The Bottom Line
Himitsu Sea Dragon is a solid double IPA that is worth finding – let’s hope Himitsu Beer release it again.
