Can from Slijterij Kisjes, Meppel. Thick resinous hop with sweetish malt, pine resin, notes of sugary orange, marmalade and grapefruit. Medium bitter with some sweetness. Body is medium. Pretty old school resinous IPA, enjoyable!

330ml can. Cloudy, orange, dark golden to amber colour with average, dense, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity and slightly piney, hoppy aroma, pale and caramel malty background, notes of orange, lemon, some pineapple, grapefruit, weak (white) jelly bear overtones. Taste is fairly bitter, citrusy fruity and piney, resinous hoppy, pale and caramel malty backbone with low residual sweetness, more homogeneous and unspecific fruitiness compared to the nose, grapefruit, orange, mandarine, lemon, zesty bitterness, weak citrusy tartness.
Oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy, barely dry palate, medium to fine, dense, creamy, mildly prickly carbonation.
Farly intense and meaty, balanced, a bit old school of course but custom quality - very nice.

0.33 l can from 'Beerdome', best before July 2026. Slightly hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish, rather fruity and slightly resiny aroma of orange, mango, tangerine and light pine. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, rather fruity and gently resiny taste of orange jam, mango, tangerine and some pine, followed by a short, gently bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice old school IPA.

Clear dark golden with big fluffy head. Grapefruit, very resinous, caramel malts, sugary, toffee even, green leafy hops, peach. Over medium sweet and quite bitter. Over medium body with oily feel. Classic US west coast IPA, not too bad.
