On tap at Lajbah, Ljubljana. Shared with lovely Anja. Clear golden, small off-white head. Not in a good shape. Diacetyl. Buttery and fruity. Hops lost in the aroma. Flavour shows hope, hops lost, malts present, some spicy flavours. Tart. Alcohol well hidden. Medium body. Soft texture. Biscuity malts in the finish. Moderate bitterness. Starts bad, finishes good.

Bottled at Beer Pub, Kranj. Hazy paleish amber, rich head. Rich aroma of mango, starfruit and grapefruit. Fairly sweet with full body and dense, rounded mouthfeel. Bready, doughy malt, gooseberry, cucumber, caramel and citrus. Honeyish finish with notes of white pepper and masked bitterness.

Yay! Bottled, courtesy of and shared with Mladen, HammerTroll et al. (thanks!). Poured a misty amber-golden body. Aroma... a touch tart, perfumey peachy apple aroma, eh. Sweetish peach/apricot taste, with the sweetness precipitating into cloying territory - low bitterness, insufficient to balance it. The recipe needs tweaking in my opinion.

Bottle, 0.33l. Hazy deep amber color with medium soapy off-white head, fair lacing and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of mild caramel, passion fruit, citrus and melon with mild grainy note. Taste starts with light sweet but rich caramel, follows sour fruity, mouthfeel is mild spicy and warming, while finish is heavy bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. When I think about Ipanema I get a huge smile on my face, but this one’s astringency is making me faces...

Pours a slightly hazy amber coppery color, topped with a fairly small and non lasting off-white head, Initial piney aroma is quite strong, but later mellows down and lets the sweet fruits breathe. Caramel-biscuity malt in the backbone. Taste starts with quite noticeable biscuity malt, later on some gentle sweet fruits come into play. Moderate bitterness, actually quite gentle for double IPA. On the other hand, after taste is pretty bittery and very lasting. Some presence of alcohol. A bit different and interesting.
