Brewed for Carl Kins (hence the spelling), famous international beerjudge and at 50 still loving his hops.

Bottled. Really hazy orange colour, not very much head. Aroma is yeast, flowery hops, caramel, some earth and fruits. Flavour is yeast, citrusfruits, malts, alcohol, toffee. Leaves a quite sticky palate.

Good off-white head, fast gone over hazy straw to olive-coloured beer. Very nice hoppy nose, both EU as USA, hopbales, and yes, straw or hay. Fresh, hop-dominated taste, grapey but not citrussy, dry garden herbs and generally delicate-flowery - lime blossoms. Medium bodied, but refreshing. Extremely nice beer, delicate in the EU/USA combination. Let the imitators of USA IPA’s try this first, before blundering on.
