Machete is an eye-catching Double IPA with an overwhelming but balanced aromatic explosion. Hops emerge in a decisive, powerful and imperious way, triumphing over everything and giving beer hints of grapefruit and tropical fruit.

Light hops, quite a bit of doughy caramel malts. This is very muddled and messy. Quite sweet with some hops in the end with a light bitterness.

Hazy amber with a huge frothy white head. Complex floral aroma of malts, yeast, various tropical fruits, spices and hops. Flavour is much the same, some malt sweetness and a moderate bitterness in the aftertaste. Quite a special Double IPA.

Pours a quite hazy pale golden, average sized white head, good retention and nice lacing. Average intensity in the aroma: citric fruitiness upfront (lemon/lime, grapefruit, maybe a hint of tangerine), a quite vivid piney backbone, perhaps a lightly perceptible crackery malts base. Quite good freshness in a simple, clean aroma. Taste notes follow the aroma, with good enough intensity and so/so definition. Medium sweetness and medium bitterness; balanced, semi-neutral mouth, a slightly unpleasant sweetish reminiscence in the aftertaste that also has a light (and again not totally pleasant) earthy feel. Medium body, average carbonation; a not too fine, slightly coarse carbonation though the overall mouthfeel is still decent. Strikingly similar to their lower abv 'freeride', which i had a few months ago and remember quite well, just a bit more intense obviously. I've pretty much copied that review with a few corrections and i will just copy-paste the overall evaluation here: a very basic ipa, and not so good at that, mediocre but still acceptable.

Bottle at Lumière Light Amber color, light have, big thick head, persistent, lacing. Flavor of bold pale malts, spices (rosemary, sage), plenty of hops on the tropical/resiny side, apricot, grapefruit, grapes. Thick texture solid body, malty and well hopped. Finish propely dry, super juicy, sugary taste followed by a smooth bitter persistent but not aggressive, a bit spicy. A nice Italian d.ipa

Bottle, small stable bubbly head, clear deepish gold color, aroma is a melange of citrus and some herbs, flavor is a melange of ripe citrus with a noticable light malty presence, a touch heavy herbal bitterness. Nice.

33 cl. bottle @ Una Volta, Culemborg. Hazy dark yellow with a white head. Nice hoppy aroma with citrus and tropical fruit notes. Taste is mediumbitter with a smooth creamy malty mouthfeel. Very nice malty DIPA.
