Bottle shared with Dutchdrebus at his place. Hazy orange color, huge white to off-white head. Smell and taste malts, bitter malts, bitter hops. The high carbonation gets in the way of the flavor. Decent body, too much carbonation. Drinkable as a beer but not good as an IIPA.

Bottle picked up from Gall and Gall, Alkmaar and consumed outside Frank at De Drie Morgen campsite, Nr Zoetermeer, Netherlands Saturday 1st October 2016 Pours hazy amber with a white head. I must admit I was a little surprised to see this described as a DIPA at 7.5%, believing that it is below the abv threshold, however it is very hoppy and jolly decent. Good streaky bittersweet throughout, a little hop burn on the roof of the mouth, fruity and very good. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Sampled from tap at NHB 2016. Minimally hazy, golden amber with an off-white head. Sweetish, fruity and slightly resiny aroma of mango, orange and pine. Sweetish-malty, fruity and slightly resiny taste of mango, orange, some honey and pine, followed by a short, slightly resiny-bitter finish. Medium to full body, creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!

On tap at NHBF’15. Randalled through fresh Columbus hops and grapefruit parts. Hazy orange colour, dense and everlasting off-white head. Aroma of soft citrus, grapefruit, some toffee, medium sweet, fruity. Flavour is medium sweet, fruity, citrus, grapefruit, light leafy, grapefruit bitter finish. It’s just a nice soft sweet fruity IPA. Medium bodied at best.
