Bottle at home. The colour is clear, pale orange colour with an off-white head. Lots of hops in the aroma with pine, spices, citrus, grassy hops and grapefruit. The flavour is more dry with grapefruit, pine and grassy hops in the end. Has a slick mouth feel, and a balanced bitterness. A nice and complex DIPA.

bottle from h.j. vine. cloudy light brown, small offwhite to light brown head. aroma of hops, caramel, malts, faint sort of fruity sourishness which i think might be some kind of 8wired hallmark (hops? yeast?), recognized it in several of their brews. Flavor is malts, bitter hops, fruity caramelly notes, pine hops, grapefruit hops. Very hoppy brew, but the malts manage to balance, and the hops are with lots of flavors outside plain bitterness, so quite interesting.

Bottled 500ml. -from Svijet Piva Zagreb. Clear orange/golden coloured, small white to off-white head, perfumey fruity hoppy nose. Moderate malty, intensive fruity hoppy and notes of wood and alcohol. Quite strong bitterness, citrusy hoppy finish. Very good brew.

Small to medium yellowish head, over very finely bubbled metallic orange-golden beer. Here it is again!!! second time, sorry, beer around. Among the fruity, citrussy aromas, the unsmistakable smell of asafœtida! What hop is it - or what yeast,....- that carries this scent? Can’t say I think it inviting. Bit catty too. In the taste it remains submerged in extra dry, resiny flavours with cereal, exotic and citrusfruit. Though it is still traceable, it is no longer disturbing. Hint of watercoulourpaint. Bone dry, as the say; lightly spritzy, oily by the resins. All in all a quite good IIPA. But that asafœtida idea...

Bouteille 50cl de et partagée avec Tderoeck. BB 12/05/2015. Orangée, col blanc épais. Arôme offre un très bon bouquet houblonné, fruité rappelant bien la mandarine, léger pin en rétro nasal. Palais est fortement axé sur les houblonné et un excellent fruité ponctué par un résiduel de pin. Amertume modéré d’agrumes, le tout est sec sur un malté grains, le tout étant un peu huileux. Les presque 9% percent bien.
