A different kind of IPA; one brewed and dry hopped with a globetrotting selection of new hop varieties from Europe, New Zealand and North America. A beer that delivers massive hop aromas and a signature malt balance.

Thin off white head left a pale golden body. Pine, malt & bitter hoppy aroma. Medium bodied, soft over the tongue with a sharp clean back. Bitter pithy citrus, pine, grapefruit & earthy tastes with a tangy finish.

0.33l bottle from Goblet ZG, thanks Hrabren! BB 06 05 2020. Golden, clear body pierced by a bunch of floaties (eh?). Malty notes mixing with sweet white wine notes from the hoppiness, odd sharp oxidation note. Lean, light taste, ice tea, a bit flat and slightly oxidized. Can see this being nice fresh, however 3-4 months before the BB date, this is pretty much unacceptable, sad to say.

0.33 l bottle from and at Goblet Beer Store, Zagreb. Clear Pale golden, small off-white head. Sparkling. Lightly hoppy, slightly grassy, fruity, apricot, apple. High carbonation. Very thin. Flavour is lightly grassy, lightly fruity, very light bitterness. Not old but not very fresh?

Bottle, 0.355l. Hazy orange pour, no head. Very thin soapy layer leaving no lacing on the glass. Average on the nose, herbal notes and grassy hops. Seems not to be as fresh as it's supposed to be. Oh well. Thin body, medium to high carbonation. Quite prickly, very fizzy mouthfeel. Light texture, a bit on the watery side but that's pretty much expected given the low ABV. Mostly bitter taste, sadly a bit off balance. Like suspected, not the freshest sample. Unlike Union Jack this one hasn't completely degraded yet. Aroma of caramel malt, grassy hops, herbs and spices. Citruses in the background. Lingering harsh bitterness with off-placed malty background. Drinkable but I'll definitely re-rate it when opportunity presents itself.
