Panel2 dziwne jak na ipa, troche chmielu, slodkawe, ciut ziolowe, goryczka fajna. Malo chmielu, po poltora miecha? Dziwne

510 ml bottle, bottled 08/25/16, shared by Werckmeister, many thanks!
Amber, clear body, with a big, creamy, lacing, white head.
Aroma of pine, passion fruit, kiwi, citrus, orange, flowers, some caramel, some citrus candy.
Tastes of grapefruit, pine, resin, orange, passion fruit, pineapple, flowers, biscuit, some honey.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes medium bitter, citric, resinous, zesty, a bit piney, floral, a bit sweet malty.

Tasty. Perfectly balanced and crisp, drinks very smooth. Just the right amount of bitterness and malt body, with a nice mellow, floral-fruity hop profile. Overall not among my favourite IPAs as it lacks the last bit of outstanding character maybe, but still really great stuff.

0,51l bottle at home courtesy of amazngwrldfood, big thanks for this one. Bottled 25.08.2016. orange clear shiny color, small white head. smells of pines, resin, light caramel, spices, light exotic fruits, lemon grass, bit parfumy, light herbs. nice smell. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of lychees, lemon grass, light pines, lightly citric, flowery, spices, bit peppery. finishes lightly bitter with notes of lemon grass, flowers and some peppery notes. quite good one, but rather on the flowery / spicy side, I prefer a bit more fruity notes, also could be a bit more crisp, but overall quite nice beer.

Pours deep gold into a shaker. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spot lacing to coat surface. Sweet pine and citrus aromas. Medium bodied with sweet caramel and toffee upfront turning to pine and citrus before the lasting grapefruit pith finish.

Bottle, thanks to Misterburd. Faintly cloudy golden yellow with large foamy off-white head, faint floral hops aroma, low carbonation, very well balanced hoppy taste after initial sweetness, smooth body, medium hoppy finish.A great IPA and a great choice for rating #2000!

Bottle shared with me at The Sampler: pours clear bubbly gold with a white head. Aroma is light pine and angood bit of citrus. I was following a PLiny the Elder with this so perhaps some of the hops became attenuated. Nice bit of bitterness. Light aftertaste. Not very massive. Light bodied. Pretty nice.
