Bottle @ LIBF’16. Shared with the RB Belgian team. Léger orange, col blanc. Arôme au nez bien houblonné, fruité, oignon en poudre avec une dominance fruitée rétro sur les agrumes et léger tropical. Palai est houblonné, tropical - mangue et mandarine + abricot avec une certaine sécheresse en fin de bouche. Malt reste solide et en accompagnement des houblons.

330ml bottle from trade with MonsterMagnet. Many thanks! Pours hazy amber, tan head. Aroma is herbal, hoppy. Taste continues with some herbal dusty pine, some caramel booze and a good hoppy bitterness. Good DIPA.

330 ml bottle at home from trade with Douberd! Thanks Christos! Light hazy orange color with white to off white head. Nice hoppy and malty aroma, citrusy fruity, tropical fruity notes, pine, grass, caramel, light alcohol, some yeasty notes. Heavy bitter taste in the beginning, then it becomes more balanced, sweet and bitter like the aroma. Medium oily body with average carbonation.

Pours a hazy, dark orangey-amber color, topped with a gushing big off-white head that goes away relatively fast. Initial fruity nose, followed by much more dominant malty profile - biscuity and resin presence, some dry fruits. Later on a bit unpleasant medicine nose. Malty sweetness upfront, a bit of a fruity feel. Decent hoppy bitterness in the finish. Some alcohol, not too excessive and quite lasting aftertaste and also quite herbaly. Quite strong feel to it.

Dutch DIPA shared by Craftmember, cheers! Medium sized, cream white, stable head over a deep amber beer with coppery hue, clear at first but lightly hazy with deposit. Aroma of C-hops and malt, as expected from a DIPA: blood orange, toasted bread, pink grapefruit, sundried tomato, rosehip, pine needles, marmelade, earthy accent. Crisp onset, clean fruitiness, redcurrant, orange, hop bitterness already apparent, minerally and salty edge, lovely and supple malt sweetness, caramelly and biscuity, toasted in the end, where a wave of aromatic, citrusy and at the same time deeply bittering and drying hops brings perfect balance. A beauty.
