An active white head on a unfiltered dark amber body. The nose is sharp and fresh with citrus hops and caramel malt. Citrus fruit, rind and zest create a lively first taste. The caramel malt is a strong secondary element. Melons and tropical notes underneath. Well crafted. I can't see why it gets so little love on these boards.

Optisch echt klasse, superschöne Flasche wie aus einer anderen Zeit, das Bier im schönen Kupferbraun mit sehr stabilen Sahneschaum. In der Nase schönes Zitrus, nicht zu derb. Im Trunk schön zwischen Malz und Fruchthopfen abgemischt, mittig leicht süß, dann bitter. Spät trocken. Prima Ding.

Évaluation no. 93 Mai 2011 Nez très fruité de fruits confits. Ambrée, cuivrée avec une mousse abondante et persistante. IPA typique en bouche. Les houblons sont très présents avec une bonne amertume. Les fruits au nez ne se retrouvent cependant pas en bouche. Bonne IPA.

Décevante celle-ci ;-( J’en ai acheté plus qu’une maudit!! L’amertume qu’on pressent n’est pas agréable en bouche, même pour un fan d’IPA tel que je le suis.

Very nice foggy amber body and a big off-white head that is indeed attractive for the dégustationally inclined. Soft sweet malt aroma and nothing else. Flavour is murky malts with an okay mouthfeel. It is very particularily, and extremely especially, average.

Second IPA rated of the night and my first from this brewer. Pours a clean amber colour with and off-white head that is big, has good retention and creates lacing all-around. Carbonation in this one is a bit more active (again with tiny bubbles). The scent though is not hoppy, but grainy. If you sniff enough, you can trace hints of grassy hop hidden in the bush. Taste of caramel malt with some fruit, and even harder to find the hop in this department. Wet mouthfeel, but medium-bodied. Not really bitter, and with the grain flavour in the aftertaste. Nothing wrong here, but laking in the hop section. An IPA that is above the Keith’s IPA but less bitter than most average ones (like the Simple Malt IPA I just rated before).
