Flavor is sweet and bitter, fruits, peach, citrus, pine needles, caramel, and earthy notes. Finish is dry-pine bitter. Overall: good, has somewhat British feeling.

Very huge, dense & fine yellow head, slowly collapsing over well-carbonated copper-amber beer. Explosive exotic fruit nose, diminishing and making space for caramel, cakebottom, smelling sweet. Bitter flavour, even a bit metallic, hopoils. Slight caramel in the background, but the sweetness doesn’t come through. Almond cake. Hopoils give some astringency. Medium bodied, oily-slick. Far from bad, but I have always a bit of a problem when -as here- nose and taste stand perpendicular to each other.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 21A). Bottle 35.5 cl - Batch unknown. AROMA: initial hop aroma with pine and resin notes. slight sweet malty background. APPEARANCE: slight reddish amber color and translucent. medium ivory head with style-average retention. TASTE: hop flavour more faint than the aroma, with notes of resin and faint pine. slight sweet malty background. High bitterness that lingers beyond a semi-dry aftertaste. PALATE: medium-light body with moderate carbonation. no astringency. OVERALL: a very nice and bitter IPA, with the balance towards the hops.

355ml bottle into schooner glass. Unusual nose, malt/vinegar but not malt vinegar (if you get my drift). Cloudy copper beer with soapy smallish head. Some carbonation. Intensely bitter taste. Finish is wild! Tannins, earth, pine needles, aspirin and buckets of hops. It lingers long too. It’s 6.5% is hidden under this astonishing bitter barrage. As it warms, it becomes slightly sweeter and fruitier. Interesting.

Coppery color with a frothy off-white head with good duration and nice lacework. Aroma has resins and pine notes with some peach hints. Flavor is bittery, dry, resins and notes of orange peel. Bittery final with slightly caramelish hints and dry mouthfel.
