(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 14 Sep 2016) Hazy bronze colour with creamy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with flowers, herbs, mint and grapefruit. Malty, fruity taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, caramel and a generous citric bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. A bit herbal and sweet, but and interesting and tasty IPA. Nice one.
