330mL bottle, pours a hazy dark orange amber with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of red berries and other such fruits, very subdued English-style hops, and big bready caramel malt. Flavour is likewise very fruity, with red berries, some citrus fruits, big bready malt, toasted caramel, and very subdued English hops. Doesn’t strike me as an IPA—more like some malty ale of some sort, but then again, this is imported to North America, so who knows of the freshness (says best before Nov 2026). Pretty solid for what it is though.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Lightly hazy amber, coarse head. Interesting, somewhat earthy and spicy hop aroma with grapefruit, red fruit and hay. Mid sweet with light to medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Biscuity malt and complex, earthy, hay-like citrusy hops. Mid bitter finish.

Hazy golden amber with a frothy / bubbly white head and a hoppy, fruity aroma. Orange caramel malt, a little kick, some estery fruitiness, hop bitterness and a dry finish.

330ml can via Beer52, poured into my huge Judas glass at home on 26th June 2025. Bright amber body, white crown. Fruity nose and initial taste, tropical feel throughout. Nice easy going blend of hops and malts, liked it.

2/VI/25 - on tap @ Baladin (Rome, IT), BB: n/a (2025-505)
Clear orange gold beer, small creamy off-white head, pretty stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: a bit malty, some citrus notes, some tropical fruits, but rather faint. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, a bit grassy, pretty bitter, rather oxidized, very underwhelming. Aftertaste: very malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, bitter finish, more oxidation, almonds, sweet malts, bleh, very disappointing. This is a really bad IPA, this has nothing to do with current modern IPA brewing. It tastes like a bitter blond beer, and an oxidized one for that matter. It’s a disgrace that at their own venue the beer is spoiled, and yet they still serve it. Shame on you Baladin.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A slightly hazy golden amber pour with a thick cream head and moderate carbonation; fresh aroma of lemon and pine; sweet, flabby malt body with a fresh zesty lemony bitterness from start to finish. Really pleasant to drink but lacking in depth.
