Bottle, 0.33l, shared with CanCrusher. Murky ocher color with medium creamy off-white head and huge amount of residue traces floating. Aroma of tangerine, grapefruit and some herbs. Taste starts refreshing fruity with sweet cough syrup following, supported with solid malty backbone and medium bitter finish. Medium to full body, slick and dry texture and average carbonation in palate. Very close to excellent...

330mL bottle at Brewberry, pours a dirty dark brownish orange with a medium beige head. Nose is very earthy, with lots of earthy hops, musty notes, and light floral notes - very dirty smelling. Flavour matches accordingly, with a super filthy, earthy hop quality that dominates. Very harsh astringency as well on the finish, though it becomes more palatable with each additional sip. This is a filthy one. Not the most drinkable IPA, but it's decent enough.

Aroma has grapefruit, some orange, spices and hints if yeast. Also some gooseberry bush. Flavour has gooseberry bush, grapefruit, yeasty notes and some nettles. Messy but not bad.

330ml bottle from beer-city.be
Pours murky orange with a white head. Aroma of soapy fruits, grass, lemon and hints of yeast. Taste is soapy, fruity and grassy with notes of yeast, malts and musty notes. Finish is yeasty, musty and fruity with some hints of lemon and grass. Unbalanced, a bit musty IPA.

From my girlfriend who brought it from France: Pours a dull amber/brown with a nice white head. Aroma is lightly citrusy, some sweet malts. Taste is on the more bitter side of things. Mild astringency. Lingering bitter aftertaste. Tiny amount of sugar in the taste. Not bad, but not perfectly balanced and the hops are kind of one-dimensional.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Enormous white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Mango, passion fruit and resin aromas. Dry with mango and caramel upfront turning to grapefruit in the lasting bitter pith finish.
