Vague white head over fully hazy orange beer. Very aromatic nose, bit dusty as well; orange/peel, bit of rosewater. Bitter, slightly oxydized. Faint mould as on orangepeel/curaçoa - wouldn't be surprised if the peel has really been added. Bitter orange. Light body, but quite slick, even viscous. Good carbonation. Not bad, we compared it to the Hoegaarden Grand Cru from Pierre Celis, rather than a typical IPA. I Thanks to Hans B!

On tap at the source in Bolzano-Italy. Hazy bright golden-orange pour, medium white foam with decent retention and drafts on the glass. Nose: pretty much orange and tangerine, maltiness is quite there, citronella. Mouthfeel: oily Hoppiness, sweet resinous taste, clean, medium body. Nice

Hazy medium amber colour, good frothy off-white head, half-way lasting, good lacing. Aroma pale malts, caramel, grapefruit, lemon, pine. Onset is medium sweet and bitter, malty, fruity, hoppy, piney, some toffee, leading to a lingering dry bitter and zesty aftertaste, in the finish joined by herbal notes. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, classy and well-balanced IPA, very nice.

Sampled from bottle at BKL München 2016.
Copper, hazy body, with a big, creamy, off-white head.
Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, berries, some tropical fruits, caramel.
Tastes of grapefruit, resin, passion fruit, tea, caramel, some pine.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes bitter, medium dry, zesty, a bit piney, a bit herbal, with a moderate alcohol warmth.
Nice one. Quite bitter and a bit stronger, but well balanced, with enough sweet malts. Nothing outstanding overall, but a quaffable IPA nonetheless.
