The most bitter beer in Moldova! That says it all, but do not be scared, Litra Rocket IPA is very well balanced with sweet caramel and malty flavors so that beer can be drunk easily and with great pleasure. The cosmic quantity of hops gives it long lasting and powerful aftertaste as if it were an explosion when a rocket is takes off. You can enjoy this beer on its own or in accompaniment with a burger, steak, curry, or well seasoned beef, and for desert a citrus cheesecake.

Bottled. Hazy amber, small head. Rich aroma of grapefruit peels. Mid sweet with medium-full body and rounded mouthfeel. Grapefruit peels and pine. Long bitter finish. Solid.

Vörösesbarna szín, kicsi, tömör, tartós bézs hab. Édeskés, déligyümölcsös, enyhén karamelles illat. Déligyümölcsös, barackos, karamelles ízvilág, enyhe gyantás beütéssel. Közepesen testes, enyhén szénsavas, erősen keserű. Átlagos imperial ipa.

330ml bottle from a trade with dnicolaescu. Pours hazy amber with a large beige head. Aroma is caramel, malt, pine needles. Taste is very sweet, marmalade, citrus and a lot of caramel, coupled with big hoppy bitterness. It's quite heavy, almost hard to drink.

DEC-2019. Draft at Craft Baza. Jammy but also bready malts, not as sticky sugary as before. Big piney bitterness. Big and malty but pretty smooth overall. 3,7/5.
FEB-2019. Hazy amber, small ivory head. Smells sweet - crystal malts and sugars, a hint of citrus jam, a little spicy hops and toasted grains. The taste is malty and really really bitter - loads of spicy herbal alpha acids. Simplistic, but overloaded with flavours that's it biggest (and only) upside. Looks like it's not as (overly) sweet as before. Okay. 3,4/5.
SEP-2018. PET growler at home. New 7% abv version. Hazy amber-red, ivory head. Aroma is mostly jammy caramel and strawberry marmalade, both overriding subtle ripe grapefruit. Some pretty harsh booze in the background. Similar taste, quite malty and jammy, less so hoppy. The booze and the boozy bitterness is there too. medium to full body. Feels bigger than it is. Nice, if you want you IPAs malty and big, too brutal otherwise. 6-4-7-4=14=3,5.
JAN-2017. TAP at Smokehouse. Hazy red, beige head. Pretty hard of crystal malts, some sweet citrus in the background. Light pine. Really big caramel and tangerine sweetness, jammy, but the bitterness is even bigger - big and bad, sharp, not as zesty or piney as boozy. Good, but brutally straightforward. 6-4-7-3-13=3,3
