Wat thee, ambermout. Mout zoetheid, licht bitter. Meer engelse bitter, ouderwetse english IPA.

330ml bottle. Minimally milky, amber colour with average to huge, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Minimally perfumed, piney and minimally citrusy, hoppy and caramel malty aroma, a touch of lemon tea. Taste is dry, bitter, slightly citrusy and piney hoppy, caramel malty basis, hints of lemon tea. Watery texture, prickly carbonation. Quite basic IPA in West Coast tradition, minimally watery, slightly overcarbonated, a bit anaemic overall. Still OK.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Mitra Händelstraat Utrecht. Clear golden with a white head. Citrus aroma with some light pinapple. Sweet taste with a malty backbone. Light bitter finish. Not hoppy enough and too malty to make it an IPA but as a lightly hopped golden ale it is satisfying enough.
