5/12/2018. Bottle from Barley Cargo, Athens. Pours clear gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma of citrus, hops, grass, flowers, malt and biscuit. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Dry, citrus, biscuity finish with increasing bitterness. Decent brew.

From bottle at home. Light unclear dark golden color orange color with off white head. Malty and hoppy aroma, biscuit, bread, grass, citrus, grapefruit. Sweet and bitter taste like aroma but a little bit better. Light to medium oily body with soft carbonation. This is much better from bottle than the keg(s) I tried.

Bottle [from Euro Swap 2018-3 thanks to Rouhlas] @ home. Lightly unclear dark orange color, medium sized off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is delicious: reminds me of freshly cut super ripe nectarines, ripe melon and pineapple. Flavor is very good as well with ripe grapefruit notes and grapefruit bitter. Along the way the bitterness takes over and becomes more dominant. The Great initial aroma is gone too, maybe it really is gone or perhaps I jut got used to it. Either way it's a very pleasant session IPA. Thanks Nikos!
