0,65l bottle shared by Cuso at Bratislava RB Tasting, big thanks. orange quite hazy color, small white head. smells some pines, light currant notes, spices, grass, some fruits, OK smell. light to medium body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes a bit heavier than ABV suggests, some sweetness, quite fruity, some pines, grass, mango, pineapple. finishes with very light bitterness and quite fruity. smell not too exciting, but lovely taste, quite nice and full mouthfeel for a session strength. good stuff.

Pours a hazy golden-amber colour with a frothy warm cap, great retention and some foamy lacing. Beautiful fresh nose of hops at first pour, but gently disappears. Smooth silky mouthfeel. The taste is grainy with the hop present all around and creating a little dryness in the finish. Notes of grapefruits, and other fruits (mangos, manderines) balanced with cereals. Quite a nice session IPA that goes down smoothly.

Au nez, c’est super (pamplemousse et mandarine je dirais)! Ça goûte vraiment très résineux et ça doit être phénoménal en terrasse l’été ;-) La finale est vraiment très amère, sèche et désaltérante. Ça ne doit pas être évident d’utiliser autant de houblon dans un produit à faible teneur en alcool; chapeau la gang pour l’équilibre!!

Bottle - Sweet grapefruit hops, candy like. Hazy copper gold with a decent beige head. Sweet pale malts, candy like grapefruit and a nice bitterness. A bit on the sweet side, but still quite nice. This brewery really had impressed me.

Bouteille 660ml. Couleur orangée translucide tirant sur le jaune, mousse blanc cassé fuyante laissant une dentelle éparse. Arôme de pomélo, touche de mangue, malt pâle, houblon. Goût de pomélo, houblon résineux, malt subtil, bonne amertume. Carbonatation moyenne-élevée, corps moyen-faible. Moins explosive en bouche qu’au nez, mais quand même une très bonne bière qui se boit à grandes gorgées.

Bottle: Poured a clear bright golden color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of green hoppy notes with loads of citrus notes also noticeable. Taste is also dominated by loads of green hops notes with some citrus undertones and light sweet malt backbone. Bitterness is kept low with nice floral notes easily noticeable. Body is light with good carbonation. Flavorful and easy drinking IPA that I will be sure to revisit.
