On tap at Stiegl, Brauwelt, Salzburg, Austria. Extremely lively in glass, bubbles, this off-white head is rising, not diminishing. Hazy dark golden. Hoppy, tropical. Medium body, light finish. A nice example.

At Craft Bier Fest Wien. A bit basementy and oxidized-ish. Not enough bitterness nor hops flavour for an IPA. Rather a very average mass market pale ale.

Hopfig wässriger Antrunk, leicht grasig mit süßlichem Touch. Zwar steigert sich der Hopfen noch etwas, bleibt aber hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Mittellanger Nachgeschmack. 12/10/11/11//11

Draught at Braukunst Live München 2015.
Orange, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, white head.
Aroma of stone fruits, citrus, some berries, some biscuit.
Taste is pretty light to watery, with about the same aromas.
Light mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes quite light, a bit bitter and zesty.
OK, but much too light for an IPA. The nose is nice, while the taste is pretty boring. Don’t understand what they are trying to achieve, an IPA for the light beer drinking masses? I don’t think that works.
