On tap at Hops, Crewe. Pours almost black with minimal scummy tan head and good lacing. The aroma has malts, chocolate and biscuits. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a creamy texture. Flavour from the start is roasted malts, chocolate and coconut. But after a while some bitterness comes through along with some cocoa and traces of spice and honey. Bitterness lasts into the slightly dry finish. This is decent but it does take some time to get going.

Hazy straw yellow with rapidly receding head. Modest aromas: floral, tropicals. A bit metallic on the tongue up front, citrusy, then some fruit, and quickly into bitterness. Bit of a watery taste too. Ok.

On tap at the Uiltje Bar, Haarlem on 29th November 2025. Hazy golden amber with dense yet decaying off-white foam and plenty of lacing. Tropical fruits and citrus peel in aroma. Sweet and tangy citrus in-mouth with a few spices, and a fruity finish. Medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

Solid ipa that it was perfect after a sunny sunday after the job. This one is rather classical, dry malt, citrus, bitter, aromatic with a nice touch of pineapple and tropical fruits, 14.09.21, drinking it at Epalinges.

I've only seen this brewery available once before on draft, a year ago in Sheffield, the barman said they have no distribution contract in the UK and drive it themselves! Strength-driven IPA, although this is more a subduing effect than in taste, as this is still a relatively fruity effort.

Can at home, courtesy of markoijelena, thanks dude! Pours opaque golden with no head at all. Nose is light honey, some grassy, maybe vegetable notes? Taste is also honey, vague citric notes, all pretty faint. Barely no hops are present. Closes with... nothing? It all dissipates into thin air. Light bodied with close to zero carbonation. Something might have gone here perhaps? I'd like to re-visit this but until then it's just what it is.

Tap @ Både &, Kristiansand. Unclear golden body with a decent off-white head. Aroma is average fruity with malt. Flavor is smooth, sweet malt, some caramel, fruity American hops, rather mild, but balanced with a wide variety of hop flavors, medium bitter, refreshing classic old school IPA. Nothing extraordinary but well made easy drinkable IPA.

From tap at Speciaalbier Café De Markies, Leeuwarden. Aroma is fruity hops, fresh tropical fruits, notes of peach, grapefruit, pine resin, soft caramel malt. Flavour is mildly sweet with a bitter finish. Body is medium. Definitely an improvement on the Uil Pale Ale, this is a worthy and very tasty IPA.
