Dark Malt and American hops unite to bring a new age of bitterness. Pithy grapefruit and resin combine with a dark chocolate and roasty coffee hit to deliver a resonating bitterness that goes beyond IBUs.

Can from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is fruity hops, citrus, roasted malt, pine resin, touch of chocolate, grapefruit. Flavour is moderate sweet with a hoppy bitter finish. Body is medium and smooth. Very fruity and piney with a good roasty malt backbone, smooth body, very nice BIPA.

Can. Opaque chestnut, brown cream. Fairly fish-saucy roast, lavender, strong minerals, metallic roast. Medium light body. Chocolate roast, grandmas hop soap, licorice, salty dry, salted fatty chocolate finish. Older can, perhaps the fresh beer was more harmonic, this is just a mess.

Dec. '16. A 0.33 l can, thanks Marko for sharing! It poured a hazy dark brown body with a small head. Fine malty and hoppy aroma, lightly roasty with lots of caramel from one side and light pine, herbal and grassy from another. Complex. Flavor was lightly bitter, lemon peel, but also sweetish caramel and roasty brown sugary which gave it more cloying and fuller body despite being much lighter than nose would indicate. Finished in a long manner, with roasted notes being emphasized. Alcohol was dangerously hidden. Nice, tasty, balanced BIPA.
