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.

Dec. ’16. A 0.33 l bottle at Birra+, Rome. It poured a hazy yellow body with medium sized head. Lightly hoppy aroma, tropical fruit and citrus with quite strong vegetable note. Flavor was moderately to very bitter, sharp, dry hop dryness and that was pretty much it. Very light biscuit malt and fruity hop counterparts were almost completely burned up. Medium body impression with very long finish. It would be okay for hardcore dry IPAs lover if were not for the aroma. Anyhow, I believe it was not really the brewer's intention, rather something wrong happened in this batch. Will rerate when given opportunity.

Dark golden, fading into light copper. Average head, some lacing. Fresh grass/herbs and citrus aroma, reasonably fresh but not too vivid. Taste has light crackery malts, citrus notes and fresh grass. Moderate sweetness, obviously bitter finish and aftertaste, but not too much for the style. Light to medium body and crispness, quick and easy. No flaws and decently refreshing. Totally unremarkable.
