Death By IBU
(has 2 batches)

Bottle, enormous thanks to Pulfer's Hrvoje and Niko/Maskeron for this! Pretty much clear dark amber body, lasting off white head, fairly big. Enormous pine in the aroma, ginormous, not much else, though it is rounded well by mildly fruity and caramelly notes. Taste... the essence of pine, huge, huuuge pine, and then some caramel slides in perfectly, bringing some vague fruity notes. Yes, this is a classic West Coast IPA, only without flaws more or less, only extremely drinkable for the 8%. Instant classic. Now seriously, this is just pure class.

Bottle, 0.5l. Hazy deep amber/copper pour, half finger frothy off-white head, medium lasting. Good lacing on the glass. Very nice on the nose, strong hop character, lots of pine, fruity background. Refreshing herbal backbone, mild grassy. Medium to full body, soft but lively carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel, soft and chewy texture, very nice. Bitter taste with subtle sweet notes in the background, quite drinkable, excellent balanced. Strong hop aroma, quite grassy, strong herbal spicy notes, pine, tropical fruits, elderflower. Caramel malt in the background, lingering herbal and liquory notes. Long lasting finish, dry and piney. Excellent.

Bottled 500ml. -from Goblet Zagreb. Dark golden/pale amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, citrusy and fruity nose. Moderate malty, fruity, citrusy, herbal hoppy, notes of oranges and some bitterness in the finish.

Full body with citrus and tropical notes (hidden sweetness). Bitterness in aftertaste, and hoppiness all over. Really drinkable, ABV well hidden. Dont'be afraid by IBU 100. Nice appearance and color. Really good candidate for beer of the year. Old school west coast IPA with all definitions. Well done!
