Not really too IPA like in appearance, imperial or otherwise. It’s a fairly murky light brown with a small light head. Aroma of caramel malt, grapefruit and orange peel. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle, 0.5l. Hazy copper pour, one finger frothy off-white head. Medium retention, lots of lacing on the glass. Lovely nose, bursting with hops. Herbal and citrus notes, slight pine. Some grassiness. Medium to full body. Medium carbonation, thick and smooth texture. Well balanced bitter taste, strong hop aroma with solid malty backbone. Mango, citrus fruit. Pine. Herbal liquor spiciness. Grassy. Bitterness builds up with every sip, very nice. Drying mouthfeel, hint of alcohol. Long finish, dry and hoppy. Overall, awesome brew. Rich, balanced and very tasty. Best beer by LAB Split so far, well done.

On tap at Zagreb Craft Beer Week. Hazy orange, huge hoppy tropical fruit on nose. Mango! Sweet middle, smooth, medium bitterness. Medium bodied. Maybe a bit too sweet for my taste, but really good beer. Biggest surprise of the festival.
