Named for our grandfather, who was lovingly called "The Master". Its unforgettable character mirrors that of the legendary urban figure of "The Master". It's a fresh, fruity IPA that is perhaps not as bitter and makes it pleasing to drink. Merkur, Nelson and Citra hops.

Dorada nebulosa de un dedo de espuma blanca cremosa de retención media. Aroma lúpulo de notas principalmente herbales y resinosas. En boca es suave, equilibrada, base malteada y estupendo contrapunto lupulado con notas herbales y algo de cítricos, especialmente en el postgusto. Amargor moderado, algo mayor al final a la vez que aparece calor alcohólico que en cualquier caso queda bastante bien disimulado a lo largo del trago. Bien hecha.

Aroma of fruits, citrus, grapefruit, grass, and fresh hops, including a very characteristic Nelson Sauvin aroma. Flavour is light sweet with a long medium bitter aftertaste. Another potent and refined beer from Viven.

330ml bottle at De Paas, Den Haag. Poured a murky medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is toffee caramel malt. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, rich, earthy, light toffee caramel, mineral, boozy hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

This is the classic belgian ipa. Funky saison-ness. But a lot of dryness and bitter hop contribution. Cambribus bruge

Servida en tulipa, color anaranjado claro, con destellos dorados, espuma blanca de buena retención...bonito aspecto. En nariz un aroma bastante herbal y lupulado , con notas de cereal, levadura, toquecito de naranja, pomelo, algo de pera, malta... que invitan a probarla de inmediato. En boca es tan contundente como fina y delicada. Fina por su paso sedoso por boca y sutiles matices florales y especiados, contundente por su decidido amargor, un amargor seco y sabroso, bien marcado en el retrogusto, que será largo, notas de pomelo, mango verde, pino, madera...perfectamente compensado con un leve dulzor que trae a la mente notas de pera, algo de piña, mandarina, malta... Excelente Belgian IPA y excelente cerveza.
