Aggressiva, calda e pericolosa. Una Double Peated IPA dalla schiuma morbida e persistente; un colore ambrato molto carico e un aroma che non accetta compromessi. Con la Purple Ale siamo andati alla ricerca dell’amaro profondo, utilizzando solo luppoli americani in quantità smisurata. Per finire con un pizzico di peated che, senza clamori, la rende in una sola parola…Stupefacente!

Tap at Hoppy Days, Amsterdam: Clear golden colored brew with i think there is some faintly purple hue. Well balanced sweet bitter taste, with hints of citrus, caramel and honey.

On tap at ’Hoppy Days’. Clear, brownish amber with a medium large, frothy, stable, off-white head. Sweetish, fruity and a little resiny aroma of mango, orange jam and some pine. Sweetish, fruity, slightly resiny taste of mango, orange jam and pine, followed by a rather long, moderately bitter, quite resiny and quite dry finish. Medium to full body, quite creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!

THANK YOU RB PEOPLE! Sampled draft @ Hoppy Days! Deep amber, creamy white head. Nose is mellow barn hay hop, white pepper, hay, caramel. Taste is mellow caramel, malt, touch complimentary butter, toffee, butterscotch, white pepper & complimentary burlap sack hops,.. body is butterscotch & toffee. Sweeter than it probably should be for the style but the toffee & butterscotch notes are pleasant, drank decently, not bad.

Draught at Hoppy Days during Carnivale Brettanomyces. Creamy, densely moussy, thick, egg-white head over a warm, clear orange blonde to amberish beer with delicate but vivid fizz. Aroma of pink grapefruit, tangering, pine resin, sweet onion, biscuit, some ureum, mandarin peel, dried mango. Crisp, clean fruitiness, mango, kiwi and green banana hints, hop bitterness already popping up at the onset and growing in intensity towards the end, as it ought to be in this style; in the middle, it meets a creamy, supple, softly carbonated, biscuity and lightly toasted malt body. Lovely retronasal grapefruit and piney aromas, very long lasting bitterness but not too harsh, some warming alcohol at the end. Elegant, well-balanced, rich DIPA - just the way I like them. Nice find!

Keg at CBC Clerko, 14/07/15. Amber with a moderately appointed off white covering. Nose is caramel malt, light spice, earthy citrics, peppery notes. Taste comprises bitter orange, caramel malt, bread dough, straw. Medium + body, fine carbonation, semi drying close with earthy hop bitterness. Adequate DIPA, hops don’t shine enough for me.
