Pours a hazy yellow golden color, topped with a medium sized but very lasting white head, creamy. Very lovely fruity aroma, some citruses, some sweet fruits and a bit of biscuity backbone. Mildly sweet tatse, a bit fruity with somewhat moderate bitterness. Light body, with some fruity aftertaste, a bit malty as well. Could drink this one all day long. Perfect summery IPA.

On tap at Jopenkerk, 4.5%. Clear, pale amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Fruity-grassy aroma of grapefruit, pineapple, mango and pine. Slightly bitter, grassy-fruity taste of elderflower, grapefruit, pomelo and some pine, followed by a short, medium bitter finish. Thin to medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, flat. Nice, well-balanced, fruity and not too bitter.

(Draught at Jopen Proeflokaal, Amsterdam, 29 Aug 2015) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with mandarin, orange peel and floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of mandarin, orange peel, crystal malt and a balanced floral, citric bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Well balanced, fresh and highly drinkable. Nice one.

Bottle @ The Jack, Eindhove, split with 77ships. Dorée, col crémeux blanc-cassé. Arôme est houblonné fruité et tropical laissant passer pas mal de houblons type C. Balance maltée reste plus discrète type pils. Palais est houblonné, possible houblonnage à cru? fleuri houblonné Cascade et co. Le tout remplit son rôle de bière de session, une bonne surprise de la part de Jopen.

Thanks to Sebletitje! Purchased @ Café The Jack – Enjoyed outside. 330 ml. bottle. BBF 26/07/2017. Deep hazy golden, small head. Nose is rather sweetish, sugar, hay, yeast with some fruity hops, touch exotic frutis. Taste is sweetish, sugar, candy, hay, light fruity hops, buried a bit in the back. Sweetish, med body. Light flowers. Too sweetish & not expressive enough but not a bad beer overall. Quite a few lower ABV IPA’s still seem to falter a bit for me.

Bottle thanks to Benzai - orange to amber coloured pour with a good white head. Aroma and taste is fresh and fruity, with some nice tangerine, lemony notes, slightly grassy, quite crisp on the palate, overall a decent easy drinking session IPA.

Leicht trübe orangegelbe Farbe, ordentliche weiße Schaumkrone. Geruch intensiv malzig, sehr hopfig, harzig, reife Früchte. Geschmack nach Pfirsisch und anderen exotischen Früchten, leicht trocken, dezent bitter hopfig, süffig, gut!
