50cl bottle. Pours a hazy orangey-brown with a slim but nice head. The nose has pine and grapefruit pith. The taste has more grapefruit, then creamy herbiness, against a light malt background. The palate has a big structure, a creamy but tangy middle section and then a long bone-dry finish. Overall, this is just about the limit of my palate-drying hop experience. I prefer the pale ale as it’s more balanced.

500 ml bottle, no idea how old this is. Pours hazy orange amber color with a fairly foamy 2 finger off white head with good retention that reduces to a thin lacing cap. A bit of thick lacing sticks to the glass as well. Aromas of strong pine, grapefruit, caramel, wheat, breadiness, spices, and a bit of orange. Very unique IPA aromas here, very good strength as well. Taste of big caramel, citrus, pine, and spices. Very piney, bready, and spicy taste; with a decent sized bitterness on the finish that lingers for a while with pine, caramel, and spices. Very nice balance of bitterness and sweetness. Medium bodied and fairly high carbonation. Fairly prickly mouthfeel during drinking, but still very drinkable. No alcohol in the taste or finish noticed. Overall, a very nice IPA, and quite unique as well.

50cl Bottle @ Home, #632: BBE 170514, Brewed 170511.
Aroma has resin from pine and some exotic fruits. Hoppy flavour has some grapefruit and tropical fruits. Very good and balanced IPA!
After that rating, the quality has varied a lot. The score could be anything between 3.4-4.2.

Stylish bottle pours a nice dark yellow/orange color. Great smell and taste. Could use a bit more body. It’s a decent IPA. --- Beer merged from original tick of India Pale Ale (IPA) on 20 Aug 2020 at 21:08 - Score: 7. Original review text: Ruikt een beetje soapy. Smaakt ook niet super hoppig. Wel een lekker biertje maar ik had het geen India Pale Ale genoemd. Sowieso is die stijlnaam een verheerlijking van ons koloniale verleden en moet die eigenlijk veranderd worden.

09/06/2011 Brasserie 4:20 (tap). Ambrata densa, con riflessi arancioni, buona schiuma biancastra, moderatamente persistente. L’aroma è dolciastro, con note di luppolo decise ma non invadenti. In bocca è dolciastra, maltata, caramellata, con luppolo gentile assolutamente non invadente. Ben bilanciata nel complesso, ma un po’ stucchevole alla lunga. Corpo medio, carbonazione generosa e forse un po’ eccessiva. Ottima IPA, gradevole e bevibile.

On draft at Henrik Øl og Vinstove, Bergen. Pours hazy amber with white head. Fresh hoppy aroma with citrus and sweet fruits. Flavour is fruity and hoppy with caramel malts to balance. (Rated offline on 2011/04/13)
