This is supposed to have citrus, pineapple, and grapefruit flavours according to their own website, I don't get a lot of any of them. Its ok, but not what the description on their own website states. Its very much a traditional IPA rather than a modern IPA.
A - bread flour, pine
F - malt and grassy, grapefruit bitterness

Sehr helle, orange Farbe. Leicht bis mittel getrübt. Cremiger Schaum. Exotische Früchte, insbesondere aus dem Zitrusspektrum, in der Nase. Rein damit in den Schädel. Und… lecker. Zitronenschale und Grapefruit sind ipa-typisch vorherrschend. Ein Hauch von Mandarine, Orange und Mango findet sich auch. Deutlich im Hintergrund erkennt man eine süße Malzigkeit. Die Bitternoten sind schon sehr ordentlich. „Powerfully Hopped“ steht auf der Flasche. Dieses Versprechen (für den normalen Biertrinker ist dies eher eine Drohung, als ein Versprechen) wird wirklich erfüllt. Mehr müsste ich persönlich aber echt nicht haben - das ist so ziemlich die Grenze dessen, wo es mir noch Spaß macht. Wenig Kohlensäure. Das Bier ist ganz wunderbar weich. Dieses Ale fließt wie Öl die Kehle runter (dieses Wortspiel wollte ich schon lange mal machen). This beer is indeed a proper job. Well done.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is piney hop with orange, grapefruit, malt, pine. Bitter flavour with a slight sweetness, medium body. Points for bitterness and simple elegance.

Slightly hazy golden pour with a small, but firm white head. Aromas of grain, pine, nut, grapefruit. Taste adds some herbs for a decent bitter finish. Proper job, indeed.
