Bottled at Silja Europa. Deep clear ruby color, small off-white head. Aroma is nutty, caramel and hints of citrus and odd metal. Light to medium-bodied. Nutty, sweetish caramel and berries. Earthy and slightly fruity hops in the finish.

Dose (33 cl) von April Gourmet, Peking. - Kastanienbraun, klar. - In der Nase angenehm herber IPA-Hopfen, etwas Tabak, ohne die angekündigte „weiche tropische Frucht“. - Im Antrunk wuchtiger tabakartiger, krautig-herber und mentholkühler US-Hopfen. Darunter strenge Malzbittere, die immer härter wird und in einen beinahe schmerzhaft holzig-bitteren Abgang mündet. Schlank, ohne Malzsüße. - Von harter Hopfenbittere dominiertes IPA ohne die schmeichelnd fruchtigen Noten anderer IPAs. Nicht so recht mein Fall.

On tap @ El Cervcero. Ambar, nebulosa, espuma blanca. Aroma no muy marcado, ligeramente malteado. En boca tiene caracter malteado y ceral también con notas de té y madera y amargor moderado creciente, tirando a herbal.

Bottle: Deep golden with a reddish sheen,stable creamy off-white head; moderate fruity and pale-malty nose with distinctive piney-hoppy aromas and a tinge of soy-sauce; moderate dryish bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied and pretty soft; lingering malty and solid bitter-hoppy finish with hops sticking to the palate without being agressive. A very reasonable and well balanced english IPA...

Aroma of okay hops and grains. A bit of head and orange body, average. Flavour is weak hops with orange juice. Medium on the mouth. Positively boring.

(can, 33cl) Clear, amber to copper colour with a firm medium-sized off-white foamy head. Hoppy aroma with herbal, piney/resiny and fruity accents, including notes of grapefruit, oranges and pineapples, backed by cara-malt, hints of biscuits, tea. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied with a smooth carbonation. Robust malty base with notes of caramel, black tea, accompanied by complex hoppy favours, mainly herbal spicy, resiny and mildly fruity; quite lasting, medium-dry finish. Quite good and rounded IPA, can´t wait to sample the bottled version. 14.VII.16
