330ml bottle. Pours an orangey amber colour, foamy off-white head leaving some lacing and aroma of mango, passionfruit, orange hoppy. Taste is juicy tropical fruits & sweet floral orangey citrus nicely balanced against a malt caramel backbone, with some hop resin bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry bitter finish. Very drinkable IPA.

Blumig hopfiger Antrunk. Zum Mittelteil deutlich bitter, würzig malzig. Die Hopfigkeit bleibt auf hohem Niveau, wird aber von der Bitterkeit übertrupmft, die das Hopfenaroma zu dämpfen scheint. Zitrusartig, blumig, durch die starke Bitterkeit nicht ganz rund. Kräuterartiger Ausklang. 11/12/9/10/8/9

A lovely IPA overall. Lacks a bit of body, but has a nice IPA finish. Lots of grapefruit in the aroma.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has strong notes of hops, grass, and lemons. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and lemons, leading to a bitter. The body is thin.

Bottle. Clear gold with excellent white head. Lovely lemony flowery aroma with hints of passionfruit and grapefruit. Medium body nicely carbonated - a little more carbonated than I expected but not too much. The flavour is hop dominated from start to finish. It’s not overwhelmed by hops, but definitely dominated. At the start there are some fresher brighter (grapefruit?) flavours present and in the middle there is pleasant undercurrent of malt. Overall, it’s a full on, but not brutally, hoppy IPA in the US style. It’s a good example of this style, and enjoyable, but for my preference, there’s too much hoppy bitterness.
