The added Ceylon Tea and pieces of orange make this double IPA special. Along with the typical bitter taste of the kind, the unique taste of the tea and the light sweetness of the fruit together create true harmony.

Bottle shared at home. Pours deep copper, thin beige head. Nose is pretty weird, moderately fruity and hoppy and there’s something in there that reminds me of butter (not dms!). Taste follows the aroma and closes withe moderately bitter finish. Although not thin, it’s surprisingly easy to drink and and has average carbo. Not bad, but quite strange.

Fénylik a ceylon. Nekem nagyon átjött. Kitűnően sikerült passzintani a teját az ipás testbe. Megnézném szimplába is.

Orangeish amber with a decent off-white head. Nose: honey malts, melon, tangerine, esters. Full body. Taste: powerful malts, melon, citrus fruit, medium bitterness. Not that young. But satisfying.
