Bottled (from Alko Web). Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is nutty, some toasted malts, floral and wooden notes along with mild grains. Flavour is floral, grassy, herbal and mild grainy and some herbal notes. Quite English hopping to this, though made quite nice and big time on the bitterness.

Amber-copper colour, small off-white head. Some resin, caramel, cracker in the nose. Light to medium-bodied. Light pine and resin, sweetish malts in the flavour. Very easy but clean. Leans more to UK than US in the flavour.

Misty gold, two fingers tall white head. Aroma: not that intense, biscuit, resin, honey. Medium minus body. Taste: dense malts, resiny hops. Medium bitterness. Rather calm as a west coast IPA.

Bottle at Pivoteka, thanks Hrvoje! Shared with IHC. Clear dark golden body, lasting white head. Interesting, full aroma, though not West Coastish, creamy, full apricot notes mixing with grainy maltiness. The taste, however, is way gone. More so than an even older APA we'd had at the same time... Creamy grainy malty taste, vague bitterness, vague citrus maybe, all gone. This should've been on the shelves months ago - and I'll most definitely rerate it once I get it fresh. Honestly, I held back from scoring this lower as it's definitely not fresh - it clearly does not age well at all, even way within the date (which is to be expected from the style, but this is surprisingly much).
