Bottle from Spicy Days. Had it before, but it was always the next batch that was supposed to be better so meh, let's finally rated, caught in the wild. Murky orange-golden body, off white head. Fruit driven aroma, citric touches, some vague cooked fruit, honey, mildly estery and hoppy, lightly berryish. Lean taste, again, nice honeyish touch, quince jam. Vague flowery and even more vague grainy touches. A pleasant drop, not what one would immediately call an IPA but not bad by any means!

Bottle, 0.5l. Hasy deep amber/copper pour, two finger frothy off-white head. Medium lasting, solid retention, broken lacing on the glass as it goes down. Nice on the nose, herbal and fruity notes, subtle floral background. Light to medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, chewy, silky, goes down very nicely. Moderately bitter taste with subtle sweet notes in the background, nicely balanced. Herbal and fruity aroma, citruses, zest, ripe fruits. Caramel malt, tea leaves, herbs and spices. Grassy, floral. Medium lasting finish, mild lingering bitter and spicy notes, dry. Quite enjoyable.

Bottled 500ml. -Unclear dark golden coloured, medium sized white to off-white head, perfumed grassy nose. Biscuity malty, light grassy, notes of caramel and subdued chlorophenols with short bitterish finish. Has homebrew character.

0.5 l bottle, a sample from the brewery. Thanks Kole! Shared with little Dina. Hazy dark golden to amber, medium diminishing frothy white head. Moderately hoppy, pleasant citrus, pines and herbs aroma. Fruit emerges, mostly stone fruit, some tropical notes. Biscuit, a light touch of dried fruit. Malts and leaves in the back. Flavour is lighter, more malt driven, ripe fruit, some citrus, light body, soft texture, moderate carbonation, light bitterness in the finish. Began nicely, finishes on the average side.
