Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6

Bottle, 0.50l. Aroma of caramel, berries and dried fruit. Cloudy amber brown color with medium soapy tan-like head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with light sweet caramel, follows by dried fruits and yeast with metallic and earthy note, while finish is mild to medium bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Nice looking label and historic appeal, however beer is quite mediocre...

0,5 l bottle. Pours amber red with a finger of frothy off white head. Head dissipates quickly and thin veil remains till the bottom. Aroma hits you with strong citrus notes, fruity in general, but there is also gentle honey like malt note. Flavor follows aroma, it's all about hops, citrus and fruit from excessive hop usage. Taste is light sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium, texture slick and carbonation average. Finish is is quite long, fruity, dry with medium gentle bitterness. Easily drinkable, no off tastes and a decent example of west coast hops all the way IPA. Could do with a bit more bitterness, but I'm picky...

Pours hazy coppery-amber, topped with a medium beige head. Gentle fruity nose with grapefruit, citruses, flowers and strawberries, in the back there's slight biscuity note. Medium bitterness that starts a bit mellow but gains intensity soon. Medium aftertaste. Proper IPA, but nothing amazing. Drinkable.
