This beer is brewed with inspiration from both a Belgian Wit and an IPA. Combining a Belgian yeast strain and additions of orange peel with hops used in an IPA results in a very fruity and refreshing beer, perfect for the summer time.

0.5 l bottle from Vrutak. Tasting at Brnja’s place. Thanks! Murky light golden, lasting off-white head. Medium hopped, floral, light citrus, fruits, peach. Strong peachy sweetness, quite nice. Medium body, medium carbonation, light bitter finish. Peach again in the aftertaste. Nice fruity profile, not bitter.

Pours a hazy golden color, topped witha solid and foamy white head, not too much retention. Very lovely fruity nose, easy to pick up with citruses upfront - orange, tangerine, grapefruit and some sweet notes. A bit of spices later on. Moderate bitterness with slight lemony feel in the finish. Lasting and medium strong aftertaste of herbal quality, medium light body. Very nice. Fresh and easy to drink.

Bottled 500ml.- from Vrutak Zagreb. Unclear orange/golden coloured, small to medium sized white head, dusty floral/herbal nose. Moderate malty, herbal hoppy, discreet floral notes with mild touch of spices in the finish. Not bad at all.

Bottle from Vrutak. Murky golden body. Herbal hoppy aroma, slightly citric, light caramel. Taste... tropical notes, creamy, citric, generally nicely fruity, herbal touches, light bitterness, ending dry. Nice tasty creamy White IPA, actually a genuinely nice rendition of the "style", likable and without flaws. Great job Carlow!
