330ml Flasche. Ins Glas ergießt sich ein leicht trübes orangegoldenes Bier mit sehr viel Schaum. Geruch dezent nach exotischen Früchten. Geschmack malzig fruchtig, hopfig, nur leicht bitter, minimal säuerlich.

Fruity ipa, with a nice malty body. Bit too much carbo though, they should change that.

Tap @ derat, medium sample. Aroma is getting better now: fresh leafy and flowery hop. Nice! Updated to 3.8 Tap @ DDDH, medium sample. Aroma could still have a bit more hoppiness. Its soft citrus, slight biscuity malt. In flavor, there is good cookie and biscuit sweetness, combined with almost clean bitterness. Slight alcohol touch in the way, that I do notice its stronger than the most session IPAs Ive been trying last weeks. Upped the score to 3.6 Bottled @ DDDH, medium sample. Hazy golden to orange color, short off-white head. Aroma has some citrus, bit yeasty, hint of sulphur. Bit malty in taste, bit bitter. Lacks a decent amount of aroma hops and is not really clean enough. Think future batches might be improved. 2.8

(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 26 Feb 2014) Amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of grapefruit, apricots, orange peel and caramel. Malty, fruity taste with dried apricots, grapefruit, orange peel, slightly toasty malt and a generous citric bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with balanced sweetness. Fresh, tasty and well made IPA. Nice one.

330 mml Bottle tasted on 28/02/2014. Weak aroma with some caramel notes. Very high carbonation and white head. Long bitter finish. Nothing special in the mouth, maybe some caramel too. Next one please!
