Ambar oscura, espuma abundante. Aroma rico. Lúpulo resinoso y herbal. Notas dulces también. En boca buen cuerpo, bien de gas. Sabor intenso, de cierta complejidad. Rica malta dulce. Caramelo. Notas de café y amargor notable y creciente, de nuevo herbal. Bastante sabrosa.

Nice big foamy head and good light copper body with little carbonation. Appetizing and fruity hop aroma, pamplemousse, fruits, lemon rind, one of those plug-in air fresheners with the usual scent. Flavour is soft hops and some lemon champagne hints, a little watery. Could use a little more crispness. Otherwise a decent IPA, some unique aspects but not a standout.

Bottleshare at Chez Smith. Thanks to Scopester. Almost clear gold beer, small cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Thin but sweetish malts. Hops are mildly skunky and with well integrated pine. Mild bitterness builds, some citric peel as well. Light semi dry finish. Surprisingly well joined up and hop forward. Nice one.

Bottle shared in London. Cheers! Pours clear orange-gold with a frothy topping. Pleasant aroma, some dank citrus, melon, tangerine. Light-medium sweet flavor, some minerality, pithy citrus, rind. Light bodied with average carbonation. Dry and pithy to finish, more rindy bitterness, minerals. Great aroma, then a little too dry and rindy. But overall, nice.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 21A). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L100238432. AROMA: hop dominant, wwith floral notes and some pine. sweet malty background. APPEARANCE: ambar color and almost clear. large ivory head with good retention. TASTE: hop start with floral notes, some pine and resin. Malty background, sweet, and almost in balance. Medium-high bitterness that lasts beyond a semi-dry finish. PALATE: medium-low body with medium-high carbonation. no hop astringency. OVERALL: a very nice IPA and more malt balanced than a traditional american IPA.

Bottle big thanks to Mr Pintado. Cheers. It pours cloudy deep orange amber with a triumphant yellow-white head. The nose is fresh, juicy, tangerine, satsuma, mango, marmalade, pine needles, sponge cake and some oiliness. The taste is bitter, pine needles, resinous, grapefruit, pithy lemon, orange peel, light soapy notes, peppery spice and orange sponge cake with a lingering bitter- zesty finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Fresh, fruity and bitter. The aroma particularly stands out with the juicy tropical fruit character. A well made IPA by all accords.

opalescent amber colour, moderate sized slightly yellowish off-white head; aroma of tropical fruits (mango, maybe some passionfruit), citruses (grapefruit and lemon), some bread, hints of caramel and grassy notes; bittersweet taste with tropical fruity, citrusy and caramel notes; great IPA
