Tap at the Smokehouse Chisinau. Bland smell. Golden. Mix between perfectly hoppy and soap in taste and finish.

DEC-2019. Draft at Craft Baza. Slightly hazy dark gold, creamy ivory head. Smells of sticky fruity citrus lollipops, some wired notes when it warms up - ranging from medicine to a honey pickle brine cocktails. Simlar taste - a weird sweet and fruity, lollipoppy and briney mix. Soft medium piney bitterness. Weird but interesting. And certainly drinkable. 3.3/5.
NOV-2018. TAP at Craftira. Slightly hazy amber, not really bright but not dull either. Creamy ivory head. The aroma is subtle but clean and pleasant - orange candies, grapefruit peel, biscuits. It has a light smelly cheese/socks note, but nothing offensive. The taste is not as spectacular as modern IPAs - subtle citrus, clean smooth crisp body - no abrasive tannins - crisp piney and zesty bitterness. Again, not spectacular but quenching and right. 7-4-7-4-14=3,6.
MAY-2018. TAP at Craft Baza. Dark amber with quite a bit of haze, creamy off-white head. Strong grapefruit - both pulp and peel, strong fresh malt backbone with caramel, meal and bread notes. There's a few phenols and esters here and there, but all in all it is pretty clean. The taste has some grapefruit flesh „tart sweetness”, some zest, only limited amounts of sugars and. The strong pungent bitterness with pine and fresh grass, feels a bit harsh and slightly boozy at times. Full, chewy body, without being sticky. Overall, a pretty decent brew with both modern and rustic notes, as well as minor flaws. 7-4-6-3-14=3,4.
MAY-2018. TAP at Smokehouse/Taproom 27. Broadly, same as their Pale Ale, just a lot more astringent (must have had quite a bit of suspended hop matter). Will need to retick...
