0,5 l bottle, best by date close to expired, 01.11.2018. Pours amber with big light tan dissipating head, veil remains. It is very carbonated, fizzy, over carbonation makes quite a lot of noise. Beer itself is not as described on the bottle - tropical IPA, it is very funky, malty, some biscuits, there are some tropical fruit in the background, but mainly it's funky. I actually like it, but it's not as described... Flavor follows aroma, malt, biscuits and funk. Tropical fruit is present and more forward once head almost dissipates. Body is light sweet, medium bitter and medium sour. Body is medium, texture slick and carbonation fizzy which kills palate. Finish is medium long, bitter and sour. I figure bottle was infected and poorly stored for a while and it fermented with wild yeast again, hence all the funk. I actually quite like it, but cannot give it better score as it's not as it's supposed to be. Malt base has home brew feel to it.

Pours somewhat hazy amber, topped with larger off white foamy head. Nice and pleasant tropical fruity nose - lots of citruses, pineapple, mango and later on some sweet and sharp melon. Fruity character transferred in the taste with some sweetness, but not too much of it. Balancing bitterness and medioum aftertaste. Lighter body, fresh feeling, although melon can be a bit too intrusive at times.
