1.11.2025. Tap at Craft House. Med-full body, med-high caramel, medium sweetness, med-light dried fruits. Oxidated badly. Med carbo. Med-high bitterness. Medium citrusy and piney hops, but feels candyish. Classic sweetish caramelly badly made DIPA. So many brewers,so little skill. Meh. 5,3.

15.11.2025. Tap at Ochutnavkova pivnice. Med-full body, med-light carbo. High bitter, med sweet. Med candyish caramel, med-high resiny, piney, citrusy hops character. Not great, but solid, good. Drinkable. Light warmth. It is evident, that Craft House has beers in not ideal conditions. 7,4.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, orange golden colour with average, dense, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity, minimally grassy and piney, hoppy aroma, pale and slightly caramel malty background, notes of orange, mandarine, lemon, some melon, pineapple, minimally perfumed overtones, weak jelly bear allusions. Taste is moderately bitter, citrusy fruity, slightly zesty and minimally perfumed hoppy, pale and caramel malty backbone with some residual sweetness, notes of lemon, orange, mandarine, some grapefruit, pineapple, melon, a touch of honey.
Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Well crafted, multifacetted, balanced - very good.

Tap at the Sibeeria Taproom. Bit hazy lighter copper-amber-orange, thick off-white head. Smooth orange liqueur aroma, bit of caramel and alcohol. Dry enough taste, malty, minerally, light caramel and dried fruit, with more orange liqueur touches along with alcohol, warming. Complex enough and dry enough to retain interest despite the slightly excessive warmth, but not that much more. The actual hop aspect could have been better.

0.33 l bottle from 'Craftbeershop.com', best before May 2026. Hazy, golden orange with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity-floral and a little dank aroma of mango, orange, some passion fruit and light green peppers. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity, slightly resiny and a bit dank taste of mango, orange jam, passion fruit, tangerine, grapefruit and some pine, followed by a short, quite bitter finish. Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Really nice DIPA, probably one of the best Hopfenreiter variants, refreshingly fruity but also quite crisp.
