What about the beer?

Colour is bright dark copper orange with a small whiteish head. Aroma has mango, sweet berries and flowery hops. Taste begins with dry pine and burning heavy bitterness. Piny bitterness with grapefruit and some sweet orange flavours take over. Towards the end the orange with a strong alcohol burn comes clearly through. Aftertaste has long-lasting extra dryness and heavily bitterness with alcohol-powered fruitiness.

Insanely intensive and aggressively alcoholic hop-bomb. Bitterness and dryness are the strongest forces with citrus fruits coming through in their full force near the finish. Delicious Triple IPA but not for the faint-hearted.

There's an obvious American rock song for this American brew. It's got nothing to do with dancers but the devil is clearly here. The loud intro with car horns pretty well describes the first impression of the beer's taste.
