A Contemporary style IPA with an Irish twist. Combining the balance of European IPAs with the generous dry hopping of American pale ales (APAs), this beer is everything an IPA should be and more.

0.33l bottle. Clear golden body with an off-white head. Biscuity malts in the aroma with orange zest, floral hops, grass and grapes. Taste of biscuity malts, sugar syrup, orange zest and pears with some grassy and floral hops. It has a nice bitterness in the finish but nothing too crazy. Nice IPA.

Copper with a tall off-white head. Fruity, bitter hops, pale malts, sweet grass, a bit of citrus. Medium bodied. Sweet-ish in the finish. Fine.

Barwa złota, zamglone, piana biała, średnio obfita, średnio trwała.
W aromacie cytrusy, trawa, zioła.
W smaku półsłodkie, sporo podbudowy słodowej w typie chlebowym, do tego akcenty chmielowe, nieco estrów.
Goryczka średnia, lekko ziołowa, wysycenie w normie, ciało też, dobry balans i pijalność.
Takie bardziej klasyczne IPA. Całkiem spoko.

Nice amber colour with slight cloudiness. 1cm head with good persistence. Nice medium intensity nose: tropical fruits, orange / orange marmalade. Nicely rounded palate: good medium strength and lasting bitterness. Nice hit of the citrus fruits in the mid range. Well balanced. Good sweetness. Like it.
