Bottle at home. Aroma is malt, rye, bready notes, herbal hops, touch of tea, caramel, bit earthy. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Not much of an IPA, not crisp and hoppy at all. Fortunately, the nice and chewy rye malt partially redeems this beer.

Butelka. Ciemnobursztynowe, w miarę klarowne. Piana dość gęsta, opada w miarę wolno i utrzymuje cienką warstewkę ładnie koronkując. Niestety w aromacie na pierwszym planie gotowane warzywa i mdła słodycz przejrzałej moreli. Potem dochodzi do tego żelazo. W tle trochę karmelu i inne owoce: winogrono i truskawka. W smaku niewiele lepiej: mdła słodycz i wyraźny alkohol (przy jedynie 5,5%!). Goryczka zauważalna, ale niezbyt przyjemna. Gładkość od żyta wyraźna. Wysycenie niskie do średniego. To najlepsza strona tego piwa. Ogólnie bardzo kiepsko.

Smutek. Pamiętam pierwszą warkę, na owe czasy to było bardzo dobre (może east coast ale dobre) new zealand ipa, teraz kupiłem na promocji, warka do 27.09.2017. Co prawda nie jest skwaśniałe ale w aromacie i smaku dominuje jakaś nuta szampańska...czyżby jakieś zakarzenie dzikimi drożdżami? Dla mnie to nie powinno trafić do sprzedarzy jako rye ipa tylko wild ipa. Skończyło w zlewie.

24th October 2016
Magnum, Mosaic, Kohato and Motueka hops. Hazy deep amber beer, small cream colour head. Palate is smooth, fairly dry and has reasonable fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, some caramel and thin cream. Juicy ripe orange, light floralness. Mild hop spice. Tangy generic fruits before a light dry finish. Not bad, just a tad malt forward.
