cloudy golden, smooth huge creamy offwhite head
solid hoppy aroma with a mix of hop-herbal notes. west-coasty, aroma could well be a great IPA beer from the states. both intensity and nuances , blend and complexity and bitterness level is great.
Flavor is fruity hoppy with some resiny notes and some fruit candy notes. bitterness is not balancing well, the sweetness has taken over, flavor is not as great as aroma, but clearly drinkable as a sweet fruity ipa with a few notes borrowed for mor barley wine like beers. Tastes like it is stronger than 7% but is watery as if it was less than 7%
Tasted 2026 jun 18 and bottle was brewed 2025 oct 20 so it might have been less barley wineish and more crisp when fresher.
Still a very drinkable, good tasting rounded ipa with some ooomph on the flavor.

Can 44 cl. Pours a hazy, deep golden with a rough, off-white head. Fruity, tropical hop aroma. Rich, sweet fruitiness, quite a tropical hoppiness. Subdued bitterness. Very much to the sweet side - gets a little sticky. 031225
