Smell - medium strong, hoppy, malt, later some weak caramel. Foam - quite thin, to the medium side, very soft, little creamy, not watery, definite hit of hops biting tongue and other parts of mouth. Quite small or medium size, can spill all 0.33l bottle into 0.5l glass when pouring like retard. While color with little yellowy notes. Appearance - almost fully clear, brown orange no visible bubbles. Taste - hoppy, bitter at start, then quick hit of hops in aftertaste, then calms down and later down the way hits again. I dont know why I keep buying hoppy beers ad I dont really enjoy them, bit too much hops for me here, but its IPA after all, DUH.

Bottle, 0.33l. Clear deep amber pour, one finger frothy off-white head. Medium to high retention, nice lacing on the glass. Grassy, herbal nose, notes of caramel. Medium body, soft carbonation. Soft texture, smooth and creamy. Mildly bitter taste, nice balance. Herbal and hoppy aroma, notes of tropical fruit, rye, caramel in the background. Grassy. Medium lasting finish, mildly bitter, slightly dry with a touch of herbal spiciness. Overall, pretty good. Smooth and refreshing.

Canned 330ml. -from Vrutak Zagreb. Nice clear amber coloured, medium sized pale beige head, caramel and hops in the nose. Sweet malty, light caramel, fruity hoppy and touch of oranges with long bitter finish and aftertaste. Pleasant surprise.
