Kicsi, nem túl tartós hab, borostyán szín. Ipás, komlós, fűszeres, kissé fenyős illat. Fűszeres, fenyős, enyhén citrusos ízek. Közepesen testes, közepesen szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Kellemes, jól összerakott, tipikus IPA.

Pop lid on bottle and hop tropical perfume permeates the air. Slight haze on pale yeller. First taste is big fresh hop wallop, lots of bitter green grapefruit going on here. Yes, really seems to be very fresh. In the middle it avoids the rubbery feel of most IPA with its dedicated freshness and feel, yet its still very mouth coating and resinous. Yes, typical high impact IPA, terribly on style. Seems a little easier to tolerate compare to most IPA.

Pours almost clear golden colour, topped with frothy and nonlasting white head. Pleasant, sweet and ripe pineapple nose with some piney notes in the back. Medium bitterness with some overly sweet fruity character. Shorter aftertaste. Lighter body. Not bac, but nothing special either.
