Dorada nebulosa. Bonita espuma blanca. Rico aroma lupulado, notas herbales y frutales. Cremosa y muy agradable. Bien de gas. Amargor pronunciado. Sabor mantiene notas resinosas, pero ahora es más frutal. Uva y fruta tropical. Rica.

For me this ipa is well brewed, perfect beverage to be refresh or closing your eyes. This one is well balanced, subtle, aromatic, bitter and citrus, a touch of fruit and discreet sweetness at the final, 20.05.20, at Epalinges.

On tap at Porterhouse, Dublin on 18th July 2025. Hazy orange amber with shallow foam and scant lacing. Pungent yeastiness and tropical fruits in aroma. Burst of tangy fruits in-mouth before a sweetish finish of malts and tropical fruitiness. Zingy mouthfeel and a medium body.

Lattina. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è decisamente amaro. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al palato finiscono impressioni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, erba, agrumi, pompelmo e ananas.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Grassy aroma with soft fruity hops, malt, floral notes, some grapefruit and citrus. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a mild bitterness. Body is medium. Drinks more like a mild APA or hoppy Golden than an IPA, it's a bit mild overall.

6/XII/24 - 44cl can from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: 22/XII/24, canned: 22/IV/24, lot 24018 (2024-1251)
Clear gold to orange beer, big creamy bit irregular white head, unstable, falls down quickly, non adhesive. Aroma: oh my, super fruity, lots and lots of citrus, pineapples, passion fruit, herbal, celery, a little piny, dank, very intense, love it! MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: good bitterness up front, zesty, grapefruit, grassy hops, a little sourish, some lemon zest, herbal, a bit piny, tropical fruits. Aftertaste: resinous hops, piny, pretty dank finish, cheesy touch, very fruity still, lots of grapefruit, lovely session IPA!
