On tap at Nakameguro Taproom many times in 2014. Orange color with a modest white head. Fairly nice lacing. Well-balanced aroma with caramelly malts and citrusy hops with hints of peach, apricot and toffee present as well. Starts off sweet with a lingering bitterness. Caramel and butterscotch with the resiny hops on the tastes. Really well-balanced. Very enjoyable IPA.

Bottle at Craft, Bangkok. Poured a hazy medium amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is big nettle grassy hop. The flavour is strong bitter with a rich woody resin hop bitter, light metallic, light toothpaste palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

0,33L bottle (from Uba ja Humal, Tallinn), BB 28.05.2015, ABV 8.5%. Pours hazy amber with off-white head. The head stays for a moment. Aroma is sweet, tropical fruits, sugar, alcohol. Flavor is sweet and bitter, citrus, tropical fruits, grass, malt. Finish is dry bitter. Overall: alcohol is showing a little bit too much, but otherwise ok. I guess a fresher bottle would be better.

Golden colour, firm white head. Aroma of hops. Citrus, tropical fruits. Fresh hoppy flavour. Feels quite light. Light finish, hops. Nice, doesn’t feel like the 8% ABV that was denoted.
(From draught @ CBC blue session, Copenhagen 2014)

Botella de 33 cl en el momento en cimmeria el 07-12-2014.Color ámbar algo anaranjado turbio con espuma beige de poca retención. Aromas ligeros maltosos algo dulces y afrutados. Sabores de maltas y cereales fuertes y algo de frutas tropicales acabando con suave amargo. Cuerpo medio con 8.5 vol y fácil de beber. Buena en general, algo tosca y de cuerpo poco espeso para ser una imperial ipa.

On tap at Beer Temple. Hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of dusty malts, bread, quite sweet, not much hop left, smells old. Flavour is sweet, malty, bready, decent grassy and pine bitter finish, but not much. Over the hill, now it’s just a decent Belgian ale. Medium-bodied.

Poured from 360mL bottle. Hazy, orangey yellow with full white head. Dominant citrus hops with mild tropical hops and caramel malt. Taste same with lots of grapefruit, sweet citrusy finish.
