Thank you for sharing Israeli Crew! Sampled draft @ BAF 2016. Clear bright golden, creamy white head. Nose is weird raw hop oil, popcorn, herbal, very raw. Taste poor weird herbal insecticide, herbal, yeast, messy, moldy orange peel. Body is very poor herbal & insecticide. Very messy, not very pleasant, not a good IPA.

Hazy blond with thin, creamy head. Aroma and flavour have some sweet fruits and caramel. Finish is lasting and dry. Just a bit too gassy.

33 cl bottle @ hotel room, Amsterdam. Aroma has sweet pineapple juice notes and fruit candy. Flavour has floury tones, sweet peaches, baking stuff, minerals and fruit candy. Finishes with mild menthol tones. Aggressive hops. Sweet and candy-like but I seem to enjoy this at some level.

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus. Clear lightly fluorescent orange color, medium sized white to off-white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly hops, a slightly metallic bitterness. It almost seems that all new small Dutch breweries brew an IPA these days, but rarely one hits the jackpot. This is drinkable, but I wouldn’t buy it again. Label says "English IPA with US hops and a fruity bitterness". Come on man, who you tryin’ to fool? It’s a decent start at an IPA at best, but it needs some work.

Bottle @ benzai. Hazy orange colour with a small white head. Smells slightly fruity, slightly plastic, slightly chemical somehow. Tastes bitter slightly fruity slightly, overripe fruits, some herbs (hint of cinnamon even), slightly sour, a bit yeasty like when you brew those beer in a can kinda things. Thin body, soft to medium carbo.

Bottle from Burg Bieren, dated 16th Jan 2015 BB March 2017, large sample. Almost clear orange color, short frothy head. Soft bready aroma, bit cardboard, hint of caramel, slight flowery hop, touch of green apples, slight spicy yeast. Bit sweet in taste, slight bitterness, malty cardboard and yeasty off flavors. Quite a horrible way to start a new brewery. This is just bad homebrew. Drain pour.

Bottle from Plan B Rotterdam, purchased Sunday 15th March 2015 consumed at home Tuesday 17th March 2015 Nice carbonation leaves a soft mouthfeel, a little dusty hop but gets fruity with some sweet grapefruit, a little bit of a head but not too much. Dry in mouth, bittersweet, good beer from a new brewery. A6 A3 T8 P4 Ov14 3.5
