Ambar clara de escasa espuma. Aroma de maltas/caramelo, pino y frutas tropicales. Sabor muy lupulado, uva, naranja, pino. Cuerpo potente. También la malta está presente, proporcionando dulce caramelo. IPA muy sólida.

Bottle, 22oz. It’s an unclear, dark golden to amber colored beer topped by a dense, finger-thick light beige head. The aroma is quite malty, with a nice hoppy touch in the back. Pine cones, resins and some oranges, with a faint cheesy touch. The flavor is really bitter, with resins, pine cones and orange peel. Full body, some alcohol warmth and a nice carbonation level. Lasting bitter finish. Nice indeed, although a tad sweet. Guess it’s influenced by age too. 140717

Bottle share at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell. Bottle picked up from Cotteridge wines. Bright orange coloured pour with a thin white loose head. Aroma is caramel malt, metal and pine needles. Flavour is old hops, light metal and sweetish loose caramel malts. Why do americans add caramel malt to IPAs? Palate is nice sticky resin, semi sweet and medium body. Finish is rough and metalic. Maybe not the freshest of bottles.
