This IPA is brewed from malted barley to which oat is added. A first hopping is done in fermentation tanks with Citra and Colombus hops. After this stage of fermentation, the brewery practices a "dry hopping" adding several times Citra hops again. The dry hopping process doesn't bring bitterness and on the contrary allows to develop the aromas usually lost during boiling.

Lattina. Al naso arrivano impressioni di luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine, con qualche bollicina grande. Il liquido è di aspetto limpido. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevolissimo. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul palato finiscono sentori di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas, mango, frutta tropicale, spezie e uva spina.

Can from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is fruity hops, tropical fruits, dank and herbal-ish weedy Mosaic, citrus, orange, grapefruit, light malt, some pine. Flavour is moderate sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Classy Mosaic-forward IPA, very tasty.

Can picked up from Beerdome webshop, Grootegaste, Netherlands, consumed at home Monday 16th November 2020 (my birthday), about to cook Chicken Yadda and listening to Hum - Inlet. Pours hazy yellowy colour with a white head, soft mouthfeel, nice light orange flavour, citra hops give a nice kick, fruity and jolly decent IPA.

Ruikt als Tropicana maar smaakt stukken minder zoet, wel flink fruitig, citrus en tropisch fruit, wat netels, degelijke bitter. Prima IPA.

Bière achetée au comptoir irlandais. Nez sur le fût, le pamplemousse. Bouche boisée et résineuse, sur le pin, les agrumes (pamplemousse), bien parfumée et intense, avec un côté laiteux, bière très réussie.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - cloudy golden orange. Generous fluffy head. Nose - orange, like satsuma or clementine. Light pith and just a hint of resin. Taste - canned oranges and orange juice. Pith and again a hint of resin. Palate - light to medium bodied. Creamy texture. Dry finish. Overall - good stuff!

Can thanks to Steve. It pours very lightly hazy orangey - gold with a foamy white head. The aroma is sweet, oily, orange sponge cake, tinned peach and mango, bready and cakey malts and some melon. The taste is crisp, dry, some green bitterness, pithy, zesty, satsuma, tangerine, kumquat, orange sponge cake, doughy bread, touch of spice, kick of alcohol, weedy, grass and pine with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. All comes together rather well. Nice stuff!

Good dense, pitting in just yellowish head over hazy orange-golden beer. Exotic fruit jumble, lupulin bomb, but also with ureum, dry Hessian sacks, hay, blackcurrant leaf/valerian, hint at mineral. Bitter, pure hop/lupulin. Orange/grapefruitpeel, dried hops and hopsacks. Again hay-like. Very dry indeed, austere, only the fruitesters making it easier palatable, and quite well in the end. Medium bodied, no doubt beefed up by the oats. Nice!
