West coast IPA with a typical bitterness forward character. Mosaic hops dominate the tastescape with hints of lychees, mango and pomelo, complimented by the clean bitterness of Magnum, while amber malts keep the fruity bitter balance throughout the aftertaste.

On tap at Labietis Centraltirgus, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a very earthy and soil-like piney hop character, with a crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is rather herbal in the hop department, with pine, light tart citrus and biscuity malt. Nicely designed, but unusual. Decent.

Pours light amber. Nose has some willow peels, dry and woody. Taste has more bitterness, some tree peels and long dry linger in the finish. Pretty nice one actually. Interesting take on the style.
