Rocky white head stayed on a translucent copper coloured still body. Malt, hops & pine aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the palate with a cloying finish. Well balanced tastes of malt, stewed fruit, grapefruit & pith. Nice one!

355ml bottle. Aroma is fresh hops and caramel. Flavour is all caramel, with some bubblegum bitterness coming through at the end. Nice, but a little one dimensional.

Wg mnie jest to podwojne IPA, hardcorowe wnet. Piana srednia ale trwala do konca oblepiajac szklo. Zapach fenomenalny cytrusy, zapach miodu wielokwiatowego, swiezych drozdzowych wypiekow. Smak chmielny, oleisty, grejfruty, biszkopty, melasa. Wyglad pomaranczowy, srednio metny. Slodowe i chmielowe. Bardzo konkretne i wyraziste, alkohol spory ale zupelnie niewyczuwalny zarowno w aromacie jak i w smaku. Porzadne IPA polecam

Bottle (from Beergium), best by 07.28.2016. Pours golden-amber with whiteish head. The head stays for some time. Aroma is hoppy, fruity, mango, citrus, caramel, pine. Flavor is sweet and bitter, honey, caramel, pine, grapefruit. Finish is pine bitter with some alcohol notes. Overal: good, finish is a bit harsh.
