30cl Fles, dank Harmen! Iets mistig oranje kleur, witte kraag. Moutzoet, wort, duidelijk over datum, wat citrus, licht hoppig, caramel, bittere finish. Lichte tot medium body. Geen topper, maar zeker niet onaangenaam.

Unclear orange coloured. Pine hops and caramel malts backbone. That's it. That's the beer.

Purchased at Albert Heijn XL

Strong resinous nose. Kind of murkish deep golden colour, tall frothy off-white head, dissipating slowly, heavy lacing. Aroma toasted malt, pine resin (rules!), grainy, subdued fruit (orange, apricot, peach). Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, resin, orange, peach. Malty sweetbitter finish, fruity bits and resin notes, orange peel. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, not your regular IPA, lacks aromatic hop bitterness and juicyness, despite that easy to drink.

Bottle. Golden color. Citrus, Peach and floral notes in the aroma. Floral, happy yeasty citric flavor with cellar notes. Sulphury finish. Lacks juicyness.

Bitter, kruidig, rare geur en smaak. Heeft weinig met IPA te maken.
