ABV: 6.5% IBU: 50 Ticks: 198
A powerful and hoppy IPA that uses a blend of American hops, giving the beer a fresh citrus and grapefruit punch. Contains barley malt.

Taste: Initially pink grapefruit juice will wash over your tongue, with a zing of lively carbonation that follows you all the way down. Lime zest and even a hint of peppercorn can be found if left on the tongue, before the massive mango kick knocks through your teeth.

On tap at Unorthodox Pours hazy amber with thin off-white head. Taste is medium bitter, hoppy, grapefruit flavors. Good and smooth, no wow factor though.

On tap at Drink Bar, pours a hazy golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma smells like it isn't the freshest, bringing out biscuity malt and light piney hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with citrusy, piney hops, and toasted grainy biscuity malt. Grainy and citrusy. It's pretty good.

Bottle, 0.33l. Hazy copper pour, thin off-white layer on top, long lasting. Nice lacing on the glass. Nose is citrus, pine and notable caramel malts in the background. Medium body, medium carbonation. Regular texture and mouthfeel, slightly fizzy. Moderately bitter. Aroma has strong malty backbone, pronounced caramel notes. Herbal. Pine and citrus fruits. Floral. Bitter finish and aftertaste. Overall, ok. To be honest, it seems a bit off, like it's not fresh enough. BB date is fine, though. Maybe improper storage? Hm. Anyways, as it stands for now - drinkable, but re-rate is needed.

Bottle at Johnny Off L. in Rome-Italy. Dark orange going amber, a bit hazy, little white foam. Nose: bubble gum, malty, a note of alcohol. Mouth: medium to soft carbonation, interesting sweet maltiness, pretty round and warming body, clean enough. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Slodka bo solidnie utleniona. Duzo tego utlenienia. Sporo goryczki. Troche tropikow. Gladkie. Disc ciezkie. Tak se
