What happens if eleven various types of fruits are mixed in a bottle? The result is an amazing flavor explosion. Imagine a great IPA where tropical fruit and freshness dominate the flavor while not losing the real beer character. Because of course it is still a beer not a juice!

Sampled @ Tilburg Bierfestival 2018. Hazy orange color, medium sized off-white head. Aroma is bad: it stinks, rotting, old, hops gone bad, butter. Oh god flavor has it too. Grainy and rotting fruits with bad old hops and infection sourness coming. Yuk. Horrible.-- Edit: must admit, I was first on the scene, so looking at other people's ratings, did I perhaps have something that was still in the pipelines so to speak? It does appear so as other, quite well established raters give this a 3.5 and the average is (at this moment) a 3.37. So, I will -for now- change my personal score of 2-3-2-2-3= 1.2 to exactly the average so not to mess with it, but I do remain skeptical.

24 June 2018. At Tilburgs Bierfestival. Deputy Taster: Anke.
Cloudy yellow with a small, frothy/bubbly, off-white head; little lacing. Aroma of mango, papaya, passionfruit, pine, gras, quite a lot of yeast, carambola, lemon, bready malt. It tastes medium fruity sweet, passionfruit & mango notes, and light lemony sour, some lime too, light hoppy bitterness in the back. Not too dry, piney, grassy & floral hoppy finish, lingering yeast. Medium body, slick texture, a bit sticky even, soft carbonation. Way too much yeast, whilst the hop bitterness is not profound enough. Needs thorough polishing!

On tap at Budapest Beer Festival, pours a cloudy, opaque filthy orange with a small white head. Nose is quite yeast and fruity, with citrus hops, tropical fruits, and yeast. Flavour is quite yeasty and pithy, with earthy hops, tropical pithy fruits, and biscuity malt. Quite yeasty and pithy, a bit too much so, but the fruitiness increases the drinkability. Decent.

hazy orange colour, practically no head at all; aroma and taste of tropical frutis, some orange and apricot...hmmmm...ok, ok, tons of added fruits (or at least huge effect of them on the aroma and taste) but where is the IPA? where are the hops? as an alcoholic (tropical)fruit coctail, it's quite ok, but as an IPA...well, even my wife has found it 'empty'; I'm really sorry to rate it much lower than its current average, but I can't give higher score...guys, please try to re-brew it without added fruits and with (much) more hops!

Kicsi, nagyon tartós hab, félbarnába hajló, narancsos árnyalatú szín, szűretlen. Gyümölcsös, kissé fűszeres illat. Íze kissé savanykás, gyümölcsös, enyhén fűszeres. A 11 féle gyümölcsből leginkább az ananászt, a citrusokat és a barackot érezni. Közepesen testes, enyhén szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Nem rossz, de egy kis lágyság még belefért volna.
