Bitter. Malty. Intense. This beer is a Red IPA, meaning it is intensely hopped but with more malt background and flavour present than in normal IPAs. Flavour notes such as pine, deep citrus, caramel, dark fruits and dark rye bread abound. The intensity of both the hops and malt, along with a medium full mouthfeel and ABV of 6% make this beer “large” in its flavour. Multiple Awards over many years prove this IPA may not be for the light of heart but is different enough to stand out from the rest and yet complex enough to make even the seasoned craft beer drinker return to it again and again. Suggested pairings would be strong cheeses, barbecued meats, and dark fruit and nuts. Best served in a pint or IPA glass.

473ml can. Pours a clear dark mahogany-red with a medium, creamy, long lasting, beige head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of toasted bready malt, caramel, toffee, grapefruit and floral hops. Sweet flavour of toasted biscuit malt, caramel, grapefruit pith, earth and pine resin in a dry, bitter grass finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Well balanced.

On tap at Torque, pours a clear reddish amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out resinous hops, some pine, and bready malt. Flavour is correctly balanced, with resinous hops, some pine, and bready caramel. For a style I don't really like, this is executed very well.

Mellow brown body, little head. Soft sweet amber malts on the nose. Flavour is sharp hoppiness with a sweet amber malt back end. Nice mouthfeel, good oiliness. Drinkable but pretty standard.

Draft - Earthy and woody hops with toffee. Clear Amber with a decent beige head. Light woody and earthy bitterness with a touch of malt and a long bitter finish.

On tap at Bierlokaal De Uiver. Dark reddish brown colour, beige head. Aroma of resin, flowers, caramel, light yeasty. Flavour is light to medium sweet, roast, resin, floral, caramel, yeast, some dried dark fruits, bittersweet finish. Light bodied. Tasty, but an IPA? Tasted more like a Dutch Bokbier to me.
