Nice reddish amber with creamy off-white head. Looks really nice. Taste is sweet at first, with grapefruit, honey, caramel, light biscuits and Dutch "ontbijtkoek". Medium fruity with some apricot, tropical fruits and orange mamelade. Some hint of pine resin and light vegetal notes. Medium bodied. Nicely balanced stuff, not too bitter or extremely hoppy as I would expect from the style, name and label, but I quite enjoyed it nonetheless.

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus and Joes. Slightly unclear dark orange color, medium sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, hops, bitter, pretty bitter. I would have liked more resin and pine, so this is imo ’just’ a very bitter IPA, not a DIPA imo. Decent though.

Quite a bitter beer, with a dry tardy mouthfeel and aftertaste. Could use a bit more creamy malt in the body, but overall a nice beer.
