A honest and rather good ipa, a perfect note of dry malt and bitterness, citrus, hop, a bit sparkling at the palate, fairly aromatic, 09.05.2019, finding this beer in the Chinese district in Paris, tasting it at Epalinges.

0,33 bottle. The bottle and label are beautiful, the beer is also surprisingly beautiful. Deep amber, large-holed yellowish-white with a nice head. Aroma: not too intense, but light years better than the previous pure draft Tsingtao. A little fruity, a little IPA-like, but there is also something strange in it, which is not good. Body: weaker than average, the carbonation is okay. Taste: there are interesting things here... The aftertaste bitterness reaches the level of a basic IPA, but while drinking there are also strange, sour, inappropriate flavors. It has a medicinal effect, otherwise drinkable for those who like bitter beers. Not a really outstanding IPA, but at least it looks good.

Az üveg és címke szép, a sör szintén meglepően szép. Mély borostyán, nagylyukó sárgásfehér szép habbal. Aroma: nem túl intenzít, de az előbbi pure draft Tsingtao-nál fényévekkel jobb. Picit gyümölcsös, picit IPA-s, de azért valami furcsa is van benne, ami nem jó. Test: közepesnél gyengébb, a szénsav rendben. Íz: na itt már vannak érdekes dolgok... Az utólagos keserűség eléri egy alap IPA szintjét, de ivés közben furcsa, savanykás, oda nem illő ízek is vannak. Gyógyszeres hatású, egyébként iható a keserű sörök kedvelőinek. Nem igazán kiemelkedő ipa, viszont legalább jól néz ki. Amúgy jó malátás, és jól iható, egészen rendben van! *** Update: amikor megvettem, nem gondoltam volna, hogy még veszek hármat egy hét múlva "csak úgy inni is", de így lett, szóval nem rossz...

Bottle, 7.8%. Ok caramelly aroma. Clear amber colour. Good stable off-white head. The flavour is caramelly, but quite dry. Clean bitterness. Dark caramel, but not too sweet. Spicy hop note.

Bottle. Pours clear darkish amber with airy but stable off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and yeast, with touches of caramel and hops. Bitter, hoppy flavour with sweetish touches of yeast and malt and some sourish hints. Acidic and bitter aftertaste with estery and malty touches. Well, it tastes like a cheap IPA produced for supermarket chains a decade ago. Hardly an IPA and hardly recommendable.

Bottiglia. Il naso riconosce indizi di luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata, permanendo in maniera apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La parte liquida si presenta velata. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sulla lingua si attestano impressioni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo e pompelmo.

0.33l bottle. Clear amber body with a pearl head. Aroma and taste of caramel, toast with notes of lemon zest, grapefruit, orange jam and some grass. The finish is bittersweet, to be honest it's not so smooth. Otherwise it's drinkable. Closer to a British ESB than an American IPA for me.

Bottled 330ml. -from Modern Asia Market Siersberg, shared with Marko & Hrabren. Amberish coloured, medium sized off-white head, stale herbal nose. Herbal, caramel, oxidation, stale and without any IPA character. Also no BBE date stated anywhere so it's probably quite old.
