--- Beer merged from original tick of Shock Therapy v1 Rakau & Waimea on 05 Apr 2017 at 09:42 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8. Original review text: 50cl bottle. Dark orange pour, hazy, with a tall off-white head. Notes of caramel, caramelized onions, oranges, lemon zest, pine resin, malt sugars, oats, light hip spicy notes. The bottle is a bit old and the hops have faded, but the smooth texture, bitter-sweet body and nice hop notes make this feel like a nice west-coast malty IPA/DIPA. Not bad!

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Shmupi. Hazy deep golden. Malt, caramel, somewhat vegetal, slightly stale fruity hops, sweet, bitterish finish. Not so good.

On tap at Beer O’Clock 2, Bucharest, Romania. A hazy golden/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, fruity, vegetable aroma. Tastes vaguely hoppy, fruity, something vegetal, slightly yeasty. Unusual beer.

BOTTLE 50 CL. Hazy amber, off-white head. Woohoo, these are some weird hops! Starts with something resembling the smell of my car under the hood. Gets smoother with time, passion fruit, nutmeg, onions and diesel. Some caramel in the background. Taste: fruity hops, mild caramel, and a very strong and wired spicy note ranging from onions (including the pungency) and downright diesel. Same weirdly spicy finish. Really bizarre, but not unpleasant. And, kinda... different.
