From Tallinn. Gusher bottle. Dark golden colour, small white head and some lace. Light honeyish nose with some flowery hops. Light to medium-bodied. Sweetish, harsh bitter flavour. Some fruityness. Lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Unbalanced.

Mooi apart flesje, leuk. Amberkleur, goed schuim. Redelijk aroma en smaak, maar minder bitterheid dan ik zou verwachten bij een ipa. Verder prima.

Bottle at Italian Good, New Haw. Hazy-opaque amber. Foamy white head. Aroma has resin and herbs. Underlying malts and an earthiness. Medium bitter - resin and herbs - with a citrus streak and underlying chewy malts. An aftertaste doesn't benefit the beer. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Nice without quite being the finished article.

Hazy goldeny orange colour with a mediumsized foamy whte head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is grapefruits, some floral tones, wood and mild grainy and bready tones too. Flavour is fruity, some resin, mild grapefruits with some sweet malts and herbs too. Nice bitter kick.

After a windy walk at night, along the lake, this one was welcomed before to sleep. Personally, it was not really an ipa but it was rather an ale, really malty, smooth, yeasty, fruity, flavour of apricot, some.bitterness at the final, 17.11.23, drinking it at Epalinges

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is piney hop with malt, ripe fruity notes, some orange, mild pine, canned fruit. Flavour is sweetish with a moderate to medium bitterness. Body is medium. Restrained and old-fashioned but certainly drinkable.

Bottle at an Amsterdam pizza joint. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is toffee caramel malt. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, malty, toffee, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
