Fresh bottle (a few weeks old), courtesy of Marco Buraschli, many thanks! Brown-amber color with a tan head. Aroma is lots of juicy tropical fruits and that typical Schwarzbrot maltiness that Swiss IPAs often have. Taste is bubblegum, juicy fruits, a mentholy yeast freshness (which might have made me think of rye last time), Schwarzbrotkruste, herbal-earthy hops and a very late heavy medicinal bitterness. Medium carbonation, soft mouthfeel. Much different from the half-year old bottle, but I wouldn’t consider it "better" - one the one hand, it’s much juicier and less grassy, but the bitterness is a bit too medicinal now, taking away balance. 8-3-8-3-15 Bottle (approx. a half year old) courtesy of anstei. Brown-amber color with big tan head. Aroma is, for my palate, very typical of Swiss DIPAs: rye-ish maltiness, grassy hoppiness, a bit herbal, resinous hops, sweeter juicy fruits as well. Taste is juicy hops, schwarzbrotkruste, a rye-like spiciness, grassy bitterness. The mouthfeel is quite soft, the carbonation is medium, but also soft. Aftertaste of a grassy bitterness and juicy fruits. Good! 7-3-8-4-15.

Malzig hopfige Beginn, bitter grasig, deutliche Getreidenoten. Der Hopfen bleibt intensiv und wird grasiger, deutlich bitter, süß. Noten von Roggen. Langer blumig grasiger Nachgeschmack. 12/10/12/12/8/12

Tap at Erzbierschof Zurich. A decent and well-but-not-overdone IIPA. Some grassy hops, fair bitterness and sweetness. Nice.
