75 cl bottle at Molenhof. Metalic nose or grass, some caramel malt. Cloudy brown amber color with lace. Flavor is chocolate, caramel, malty, light hopping, some grass. Decent dry finish. Doesn’t really work as a hop showcase, but nice enough.

5/II/13 - 75cl bottle from the brewery @ home - BB: X/2014 (2013-135) Thanks to Wim for the bottle!
Clear copper red to amber beer, nice creamy beige head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: pretty fruity, citrus, sweet touch, red berries. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: quite some citrus, red berries, ripe fruits, grains, bit sweet, banana, sugary, overripe fruits. Aftertaste: pretty bitter, green banana, bit chemical, citrus, grassy hops, some overripe fruits. Not bad at all, but to call this an IPA... ? Who defined this as an IPA on ratebeer anyway? It's not on the bottle...
