7.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Tight white head stayed on a nicely carbonated pale golden body. Fruity citrus & tropical fruit aroma. Medium bodied, soft & pillowy on the tongue with a dry cloying back. Bubble gum, stone fruit & malt tastes with bitter citrus & grapefruit on the back with hopped up finish. Well balanced & excellent.

440ml can from Honest Brew. Look - Pours a slightly cloudy gold, small white head, excellent retention and lacing. Looks the part. Nose - citrus, herbs, pine resin. No huge aromas but inviting. Taste - citrus, big grapefruit hit, pine resins, sweet with a big bitter dose to balance superbly. Palate - medium bodied, smooth, soft carbonation. Very good. Excellent stuff.

Smell- weak, hops, faint malt maybe or faint fruits, but yes mainly hops. Foam-thin, hops, medium to high bitterness in hops. Head is small, white color. Appearance- can, quite simple in design. Clear amber, no carbonation. From- snifter Taste - Hops, pine, bit fruity, bitterness is medium strong, but I would say pleasant even for me, who do not like too bitter beers. Some malt in the mix and faint fruit, grapefruit notes. Alcohol is well mixed in. Not bad.

Bottle from Geers. Best before: 16/4/20; just a couple of months old. Pours clear golden with a thin, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of dank mandarin, pineapple, apricot, pomelo, spring onion, honey. Taste has sweetish mandarin, pomelo & mango, bitter grapefruit peel, some pine & spruce with a dank edge; faintly zesty sour. Dry, floral hoppy finish, lots of dank citrus fruit lingering next to bitter pine & grapefruit. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Not overly malty for a DIPA, just plain strong hop bitterness.

0,33 bottle.

Hazy, "New England - IPA color", light enough. The foam isn't very durable, but nice white. It has a basic bitter hops on its smell and the yeast is quite palpable. It is more palatable than the other IPA's so far, and because of the more alcohol there is a lot of malt. The bitter, fruity flavors are subdued compared to the category. A strong beer can be brought together on a malt basis, but to have an imperial IPA, more hops would have been needed. I guess .. Not bad beer, of course. In fact, it is exciting to feel aftertaste. Just a little bodyless, hop-less.

Hazy, New England IPA szín, elég világos, hab tapad a kehelyre, de nem túl tartós, ellenben szép fehér. Illatán alap keserű komlók érződnek és eléggé érezhető az élesztő is. Malátásabb az eddigi IPA-knál, a több alkohol miatt sok a maláta. Keserű, gyümölcsös ízek kategóriához képest visszafogottak. Malátás alapon össze lehet hozni erős sört, de hogy imperial IPA legyen, több komló kellett volna. Szerintem.. Persze nem rossz sör. Sőt, izgalmas utóízeket érezni. Csak picit testetlen, komlótlan.

Tap at Gremlin. Aroma is fruity, grapefruit and citrus. Taste is good, malty bit of biscuit, lemon and grapefruit. Little bit of sweetness.
