Bottle from a gift basket - thanks, Annemieke & Robrecht! Pours clear dark golden with a small, off-white head. Aroma of pine, grapefruit peel, pear, kitchen herbs, mango, citrus. Taste has sweetish apple & pear, bitter grapefruit & unripe mango, a bit herbal & piney. Grassy & earthy hoppy finish, turning quite bitter, lingering unripe fruit. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Enjoyable & refreshing IPA-like, not quite there.

Taste is sweet-ish, caramel malty, fruity and minimally piney hoppy, minimally leafy, notes of peach infused ice tea, lemon tea, instant lemon tea, the leafy touch comprises tea and even some tobacco flavours. Oily texture, smooth and soft palate. Mild and mellow, not that kind of hop punch right in your face IPA. Nice.

Lichtbruin bier met stevige schuimkraag. Smaak is bitter hoppig en fruitig met iets van zwarte thee, mango en ananas. OK.
