ABV: 8.0% IBU: 100 Ticks: 6
A brew that started at 2018 with a subtle profile of flowers and honey, evolved in 2020 into hoppy brew, full of ripe stoned fruits and dunkness that fill the room as you open the bottle!

The taste follows the extravagant nose with Mosaic and Simcoe leading the way to a sweet and bitter aftertaste and an alcohol content that you won't be able to sense before it's too late!

Bottle picked up from Kykao brewery, Patras and consumed at Igoumenitsa port, Greece, Thursday 17th September 2020. Pours hazy light gold with a white head. Nice soft mouthfeel, juicy but with a good citrus punch. Really good hoppiness throughout, really good, finish is slightly dry.

bottle from crete. clear yellow, smooth white head. Strong us double ipa aroma, very bitter but still aromatic with notes of bitter grapefruit and pine. sweet malty base in the background. Flavor is high on bitterness but even higher on us hoppy flowery, pine, grapefruity flavors and a little bit of exotic fruits to round off, leading you to notice the solid sweet malty base that is well balanced into the hop orgy - really well composed double ipa, once more a greek ipa reminds me of pizza port and that is as close to perfect for me a strong ipa can get. Even at 9% it does not at all come off as boozy, but it is very full bodied. I think, after having sampled several times, that the beer is perhaps a little itty bit too bittersweet for my taste, but good stuff nevertheless.
