Our take on an American style IPA: pale, dry and very aromatic. The explosive hop profile comes from American varieties (among them Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra and Centennial) used at different stages of production that give back a unique bouquet with mango, apricot, peach and citrus overtones.

330ml bottle. Orangey gold colour with white foam head leaving some lacing and tropical fruit mango hoppy aroma. Taste is malt caramel balanced with spicy citrus, pine and resiny hop bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry spicy bitter finish. Nicely drinkable

5 August 2018. At Ammutson, Vienna. Cheers to Anke!
Pours clear golden with a lasting, small, foamy, off-white head; little lacing. Aroma of pepper, dank cheese, yeast, bready malt, earth, lime juice, ripe mango. It tastes light malty sweet, notes of bread & yeast, some ripe fruit, and light to medium hoppy bitter, spicy & piney. Yeasty, dry, resinous & piney hoppy finish, a bit grainy, earthy, 'wry' even. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. I'm not a huge fan.
