They say itβs quantiply hopped and I believe them. This is an immensly hoppy beer, with a strong body of grassy malt. Good beer, but itβs like a meal.

Bottle @ Van Moll Brewpub. Hazy medium to dark orange color, full sized quite thick off-white head that lasts for a long time. Appearance is absolutely superb. The beer is a bit enthousiastic when you pour it (so be gentle) and the head could have been slightly more creamy, but otherwise no comments at all. Aroma is malts, hops, fruityness, grapefruit. Not that strong so it hits you instantly, but very nice. Taste malts, hops, nicely fruity, very nicely grapefruit, good bitterness, no alcohol at all. Drinks away dangerously easy. Aftertaste could have been more present, but now Iβm just being picky. Hops and bitterness in the finish leave you begging for more. Body is medium, carbonation is perfect: subtle yet present and smooth. Wow this is very well done, no, this is extremely well done. Top notch!

Bottle at the November PINT Den Haag tasting 2013 @ ABC Beers. Poured a cloudy medium to dark amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is massive floral hop, citrus fruit and a little creamy. The flavour is strong bitter. Medium to heavy bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and a long bitter finish. There are not many Dutch brewers who are able to brew an IPA. Rodenburg are not one of them!

Clear amber colour, white head. Aroma of hops! Tropical fruits, passion fruit, pine, melon, pineapple and a hint of strawberry. Bitter hoppy flavour, grapefruit, orange marmalade. Fruity bitter finish, pronounced melon. Nice!
