6.1

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 5.5

Gold with a frothy white head that lingers. Not much nose for something that calls itself an IPA, certainly nothing fruity. A bit grainy really, mildly floral, but also empty. Taste has a clean, flat bitterness throughout, full of bread, sunflower seed and diluted potato schnapps. Body is medium, carbonation is balanced. The brew has a pleasant, well rounded feel in the mouth. Feels stronger than 6.5. It did grow on me, I’ll give it that.

33cl bottle in Munich. Slight spicy aroma but not enough nose for an IPA. Medium head didn't last long. Flavor is a bit caramel, spicy and resiny but not very fruity. Must be German Cascade? I don't get much of the grapefruit Mandarin flavor advertised on the bottle. At least the bitterness and residual sugar is decently, though not perfectly, balanced.

330ml bottle from trade with Seblinz. Many thanks. Pours clear gold, medium white head. Aroma of caramel crystal malts. Taste continues with a distinct bitter caramel malt character, marmalade, some herbal notes. Not really a DIPA at 6.2% and not the kind of malt-forward IPA I’d normally go for.
