Geprobeerd op het terras in Bergen op Zoom. Het is een troebel oranje geel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een hoppige wat citrusachtige geur. De smaak is hoppig, fruitig en bitter.

The ‘basic’ IPA in the range of this brewing company on the island of Texel, bottle from an Albert Heijn supermarket. Snow white, mousy, thick, membrane-lacing, stable head on an initially crystal clear warm and pure golden blonde beer, shifting to a misty peach blonde with sediment. Aroma of dry grapefruit zest, dried wormwood, old lemon peel, bread crust, white pepper, strawbales, a whiff of iron somewhere. Crisp, dryish onset, hints of green banana and old dried lemon peel but little fruitiness otherwise, lively carbonated with pronounced minerally effects; slight metallic edge too. Smooth, slick grainy and thinly white-bready malts with ‘bread-crusty’ edge, quite long-lasting, wormwoody hop bitterness in the end, a tad soapy too, offering floral and peppery aromas retronasally with a citric edge – but hardly the strong expressive aromas one expects from a modern IPA. Clean, old school, almost vaguely West Coast IPA-ish, no frills here but certainly enjoyable as a mildly spicy, accessible, bittering and quenching ‘everyday’ beer – I have nothing against that.

Behoorlijk bittere jongen, eerder een Engelse pale ale, graan en mout, behoorlijk hoppig, droog, citrus, iets van koriander kruidig/zepigheid ook, doe mij de verse fruitige varianten maar

30cl Fles van AH. Goudgele kleur met wat oranje tweeschijn, witte kraag. Fruitig, iets bloemig en wat harsig, lijkt meer een kruidig Belgisch gistje dan een typische ale-gist in te zitten. Geen IPA maar wel degelijk een smaakvol bier, clean.

Golden colour with light haze and lasting head. Aroma and flavour have a dusty yeasty accent that dominates a little too much. Floral hop bitterness makes for a pleasantly dry finish.
