Tap @ t Klooster restaurant, small sample. Clear amber color, short head. Aroma is a bit malty, some caramel, slight pine, bit citrus. Not really hoppy, could be fresher perhaps? Bit bitter in taste, quite malty for an IPA. Bit sulphury even. Wasnt impressed. Rerate: bottle, BB 2016, large sample. Can leave my rating. Its pretty much the same. Mediocre.

4 oz draft pour at ChurchKey. Clear amber with off-white head. Aromas of citrus and light tropical fruit. Tastes of citrus, pine, floral notes. Medium-light body with a dry and bitter finish. Medium carbonation. Body is just a bit thinner than I’d like but this beer was better than I expected.

It pours a reddish gold and brings me a 2 finger head of foam. I poured it slowly so that’s pretty impressive.
I get spicy piney hoppy notes, a bit of lemon citrus. Smells pretty bitter.
Spicy pine, grapefruit, bitter but tempered somewhat by bready flavour from the malt. Finishes decidedly bitter, almost an aspirin like bitterness.
High end of medium bodied, ample carbo. Good slick mouthfeel.
A very nice IPA offering from Anchor. I enjoyed it.

355ml Bottle from De Bierkoning. Clear copper colour, off-white head. Looks perfect. Aroma of candy, bubblegum, amber malts, sweet, pine hops. Flavour is sweet, candy/bubblegum, pine, citrus, pine bitter finish. Mostly just sweet. Light-bodied. Not very IPA-like imho. Didn’t like it.

Hazy amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and crispy, semi dry. Sweetish malts, little caramel. Quite a sweet bubblegum ester. Touch of spice. Mildly bitter florlaness. Dry finish. A curious IPA.

Clear amber to red beer, big creamy yellowish head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sweet ripe peaches, bit floral, soapy touch, dry and spicy impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter start, citrus, fruity, peaches, bit spicy. Aftertaste: bitter, grassy, citrus, bit medicinal, more citrus, pretty fruity. I've seen the elephant, drank his piss and loved it! Go Anchor!

Bottle at Cottier’s. Hazy amber body with a medium off-white head that holds well. Excellent lacing. Aroma of caramel, grass and floral hops. Flavour of grapefruit, grass, Pink Lady apples and a lime finish. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A subtle, flavoursome IPA. Lovely.

clear amber colour, significant amount of dense off-white head; aroma of citruses, floral hops, piney notes, overripe tropical fruits and quite intensive maltyness and caramel;taste of very well ballanced hoppy bitterness and malty sweetness (in details: slight citruses, overripe fruits, piney notes, honey, biscuit notes and caramel) - excellent IPA without any extremeness
