Aroma of lots of fruits, citrus, hops. Flavour is fruity and hoppy, with a welcome bitterness in the aftertaste. Not your regular IPA, more like a Belgian IPA or a bitter Saison even.

Bottle. Golden color, hazy. Peach, grass and citrus, in the slightly herbal aroma and flavor. A firm hopbitterness, satisfyingly balanced. A very good beer!

Draught @ UBF 2014. Opaque murky orange color, medium to full sized off-white head. Aroma is lightly malts, full of hops and nicely fruity. Tastes about the same: a good malt profile with good hoppiness on top. Nice bitterness that blends well with the hops. Good balance, medium body and carbonation. Quite impressive for a new brewery, they just have to work at the appearance.
