Bottle from LDW, Eke. Hazy yellow colour, white creamy foam. Nose of pineapple, citrus. Taste is medium sweet, light lemony, some papaya notes. Not very bitter for an IPA. Good.

Donkergeel bier met mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is bitter hoppig en zoet met iets van parzik, abrikoos en honing. Erg zoet en weinig bitterheid voor een IPA maar juist daarom voor mij één van de betere.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours golden with a slight haze and a lacing, white head. Some citrusy arimas, but also a little greasy and tired. Rich and solid malt body, a dry malt character and a bitter finish. Lacks a bit on the aromatics, but it could be a matter of the age of the beer. 310517

Bottled 330ml (Uba ja Humal, BBE 2017)
Hazy orange color, small white head. Lots of floating yeast. Fruity aroma has citrus and pineapple. Medium-bodied. Flavor has pineapple, pine and mango. Maltyness to backup but quite easy drinker. Probably been better when fresh. Now feels slightly overrated and not as juicy as the best NEIPA examples. With 7.5% it is hardly DIPA.

33cl bottle from Sip, Tallinn. Pours slightly hazy deep golden with a white head. Fruity and hoppy aroma with a fair amount of citrus, some pine and hints of malt. Moderate sweet with fairly mild fruity and hoppy flavours and medium bitter finish. Fairly balanced and certainly easy to drink. Quite refreshing and enjoyable.

Slightly hazy golden amber color. Tons of stonefruit and white grapefruit in the nose. Medium body, fairly aggressive hop presence. Piney with stonefruit and bread in the mouth. Can’t say I think this is particularly NE style and it’s a bit boozy but still enjoyable.

Pours with light haze, bit of off-white foam that leaves some lacings but is gone relatively fast. Carbonation is not very dense, looking like a homebrew - or New England IPA for that matter. Aroma is super fresh and juicy, bitter kick is there, fresh cut orange, some lime leaves and papaya. Supremely drinkable, well balanced between bitterness and everything else. Hop juice, really close to all the "real" New England things I have tried. Well done!

Bottle, BB 31.12.2017 (from UJH). Pours dark golden wih huge whiteish head. The head stays. Aroma is citrus, grapefruit, tangerines, pine, malt. Flavor is sweet and bitter, citrus, grapefruit, lemon, pine. Finish is intense dry-grapefruit bitter. Alcohol is well covered. Overall: very good (would prefer it even less sweet and more dry, and as I understand the target was 8%?! Still very good tho and one of the best hoppy beers made in Estonia).

(Keg at One Pint Pub, 20170129) The beer poured golden and rather cloudy. Its head was small and white. Aroma had fruitiness, citricness and malts. Palate was medium bodied and soft with medium carbonation. Flavours were pine, grass, fruitiness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A pleasant hoppy brew with good drinkability.
