Rrraaaawwwwr! You thought you could handle me? Think again, human. I am the Kaiju Aftermath Double IPA, the monstrous brew from Dandenong that's here to wreck your palate in the most delicious way possible.
First off, let's talk about my hops. Oh, the hops. Dank, piney, and citrusy, all in one explosive package. I dare you to take a whiff and not feel your taste buds tingling in anticipation. And when you finally take a sip, brace yourself for a massive bitterness that's somehow balanced out by sweet, caramelised orange notes. It's a flavour rollercoaster, and I'm the conductor. But don't let my devastating hoppiness scare you off - I've got a strong malt backbone that somehow manages to keep me in check. At 9.1% ABV, and 140 IBUs I'm not for the faint of heart, but if you're brave enough to take me on, you'll be rewarded with a hop experience like no other.
And if you're still not convinced of my badassery, let me tell you about the time I single-handedly caused a statewide hop shortage. That's right, I'm a force to be reckoned with. So come on, give in to your curiosity and take a sip. You might just discover your new favourite monster.

Kaiju (怪獣) means "strange beast" in Japanese – think Godzilla, King Kong, and all the big monstrous baddies from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Created by 3 nerdy Australian beer scientists in 2013, Kaiju! Beer birthed its own tribe of monstrously flavourful creatures, each of them unashamedly intense, and devastatingly good.
