Bursting with bold tropical flavours of grapefruit, passion fruit, apricot and peach, this unfiltered IPA, which takes its inspiration from the New England IPA style, is an attack on the senses. A carefully chosen hop blend provides an intense citrus aroma while adding a well-balanced yet mild bitterness. Malts are combined to deliver a smooth mouthfeel.

500ml bottle at home. Pours a clear amber with a medium off white head. Nose is mostly bread malts and biscuits with a small bit of pine hops. Maltier IPA with a bit of pine hops in the flavour. Easy to drink, but overall an unexciting or memorable beer.

A light haze on this gold beer, tiny pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, a very mild dryness, reasonable fine minerally carbonation coming through on the back end. Light malts, a pleasant creamy sweetness, quite sweet actually. Good cooling pine hop intro into light but bright hoppy citrus and tropical fruits. Finishes light. Nice job, doesn't have the pure hop intensity of anyone of the top brewers, Track, Phantom, Cloudwater etc, but it does deliver a layered and bright hop fruitiness that is quite charming.

En pinta, color oro ambarino,velada, espuma nácar de buena conservación. En nariz un olorcillo agradable a fruta de hueso, hierba, uva, mistela, azúcar moreno. En boca es suave, pero con cierto puntito jugoso, notas afrutadas y ligeramente herbales, amargor medio, dulzor de fondo con notas de malta...En general una cervecita nada complicada pero que se disfruta bien fácíl, de las que entran solas y sin ser nada del otro mundo tiene algo que la hace resultona

0,33l can. Pours hazy deep golden with minimal quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is intense diacetyl, buttery as hell, somewhat soapy, beneath it some tropical and stone fruit. Taste is heavy sweet and mild bitter. Flavor is even heavier butter diacetyl. Finish is more dacetyl with tropical fruit with a bit of bitterness kick. I hope this can was particularly of, this is a disaster.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Taster showing medium to dark amber with half a finger of clean white foam.
The nose shows moderately intense notes of pineapple and bready sweet malts.
The palate is well carbonated and medium bodied. Moderately pineapple forward with a well supported tea like malt backbone commonly found in English IPAs. Barely any bitterness on the finish with a slight astringency.
