A resinous and zesty IPA brewed with American hops and Estonian spruce tips.

Taste: Citrus-forward at first, with bursts of grapefruit zest and lemon, which is later complemented by the resinous spruce notes and piney hop bitterness. As the beer settles on the palate, its intense resinous character subsides, leaving room for the biscuity malt profile and subdued malt sweetness.

Appearance: A lemon-yellow beer with a pristine white head.

Nose: Bold and resinous, with notes of freshly cut lime fruits and springtime spruce shoots.

Malts: Pilsner zero

Hops: HBC 431, Mosaic, Columbus, spruce tips

Tap at Beergeek Bar, thx Michal T! Hazy golden body, off-white head, nice enough. Dry candy lemon in the aroma, light spruce maybe. Tea-like taste, pleasant citric hoppy notes, ending dry. Good stuff!

Kollase BB-ga versioon (need kes teavad, need teavad :)). Korralikult mõru, kuiv, humalane, vaigune, kuusene, linnaseline, aga ka veits vesine - kahjuks varem ei õnnestunud seda leida.. Ok, mõrudus on nagu muiste.

Donkergeel bier met schuim. Smaak is bitter hoppig en fruitig met iets van hars, zwarte thee en ananas. Een heel degelijke IPA.

Bière dégustée aux Berthom à Lyon. Robe blonde hazy, voilée, avec une belle tenue de mousse qui s’efface doucement. Nez marqué par des agrumes vifs : citron, pamplemousse, avec une pointe résineuse. L’attaque est franche, amère, bien tranchante, sur des notes de zeste et de résine. En bouche, l’équilibre penche vers une amertume persistante, sans écraser les arômes. La longueur laisse une sensation sèche et fraîche, très plaisante. Une IPA bien exécutée, pleine de caractère et de peps !
