Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is dank fruity hops, tropical fruits, citrus, onions, weed, orange, grapefruit, herbal hops. Flavour is light sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Well done Frontaal, good variety of NE IPA, contrary to many other Dutch breweries they seem to understand the style.

Bottle. Hazy orange pour. Aroma of orange zest, citrus, peach and spicey hop. Taste has bitter orange zest, citrus, spicey hop and soft oat. Way too carbonated, which detracts from the flavor. Otherwise a nice neipa.

Bottle @ home. Hazy murky pale orange color, medium sized white to off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is lovely hoppy and tropical fruit hoppy. Flavor is lovely hoppy, sweet tropical fruits, peach and sweet ripe mandarins with low bitterness. Damn this is really nice indeed. Roel you did a great job on this one. Absolutely delicious!

330ml bottle from Sterk, Amsterdam. BBE 21/07/18. Pours cloudy orange with a large foamy head. Aroma of fruity hops, grass, pineapple, citrus and mango. Taste is carbonated, juicy fruity and grassy hoppy with some pine, citrus and mango. Finish is carbonated, fruity and juicy with some tropical notes, pine and citrus. Okay, but a bit too aggressively carbonated, doesn't feel very smooth.

Hazy peachy golden pour with a long-lasting white head. Notes of orange zest, caramelized oranges, citrus, tropical fruit, a bit of melon, passion fruit. The smell is spot on, but the overall tasting notes are somewhat lacking in NE characteristics, being a bit too malty and not too rich in hops. Still, a very good IPA and a decent step towards the New England style.

Cloudy blond colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour are hoppy. Quite a resinous, skunky hop. Dry and refreshing. Light bodied.

Bottle at home. Very cloudy orange golden, looks like apricot juice with small off white head. Mango, passion fruit, lots of dank weedy notes and grass, light caramel, bread, sesame seeds, apricot jam. Just medium sweet and over medium bitter. Medium bodied. I don’t smell so much juice but when drinking this is just massively hopped with nice fruits and dank notes. Really nice! It’s slightly too bitter but one of the better Dutch IPA’s.
