We put together an A-Team of Simcoe, Citra and Galaxy with our super fruity house yeast strain to make a classic New England IPA – just a hint of bitterness, and a balance of sharper citrus fruits to stop the tropical aroma being too sweet.

Malt: Extra Pale, Wheat, Caramalt, Flaked Barley, Oats
Hops: Citra, Galaxy, Simcoe (or Nelson Sauvin)

(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 16 Aug 2025) Cloudy golden colour with lasting yellowish white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of orange, grapefruit and mango. Fruity taste with orange, mango, pineapple, grass, peaches, white bread and a balanced citric/herbal bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Fresh, smooth and hoppy. Very nice.

440ml Can - Murky golden with a white head. Grapefruit, gooseberries and pineapple in the aroma. Pine and grapefruit dominate the taste. Slightly disappointing as I was expecting more.

Draught Small, lacey white head over utterly hazy yellow beer. Again hopbales, hopcones and some ureum. Citrus, hint of leather. Hops, grains and some diary. Citruspeel and zeste, alternative grains/kernels, cucumberpeel. Quite hopoily/-slick. Gives a chewy impression without any real body. Quite well-carbonated. Nothing really special, but simply a good beer.

Årets påsketur gikk helt til Melkebaren, hvor jeg gikk planken: blek uklar skittengul med fint skum som varer (glass nr. 3 fra høyre). Citrusparade med mange delikate inntrykk (bl.a. ananas og lychee) uten at det blir for søtt. Deilig, fruktig bitterhet i den lange avslutningen.

Tap at Day 0 of the Prague Beer Fest. Murky pale yellow body, off-white head. Tropical aroma, though mainly lychee and some oxidation. Lychee, herbal, resinous hoppy notes in the sweetish taste, nice, but not in top shape.
