Samea, oranssinruskea olut hyvin pienellä vaahdolla. Oluen saa kaataa lasiin varsin reilulla otteella, jotta vaahtoa kertyy. Toisaalta yllätykseksi vaahtoa jää kuitenkin pieni aavistuksenomainen kerros oluen pinnalle. Tuoksu melko ohut ja ehkä hieman purkkaisen tunkkainen. Sitruksisuutta ja havuisuutta löytyy hieman. Maku sitruksinen, havuinen ja keskiasteisen katkeran greippinen. Ruista löytyy varsinkin jälkipuolelta. Melko tunkkainen kuitenkin, eikä tämä parhaille ja raikkaimille IPA:lle pärjää millään.

Bottle in our shabby Helsinki apartment. Hazy yellowish gold beer, not much of a head. Palate is light, dry and finely crisp. Thin malts bring a little creamy sweetness but also rye tang. Floral bitter hops that unfortunately gets soapy. A little citric peel before a dry bitterish soapy finish. Messy.

Mild smell of hops and grain. Hazy yellow colour, white head. Aroma of hops, soap, spruce. Acidic and sour, also bitter. Not so much rye to be noted, also not IPA-like. More like a saison. Soft and flat carbon, slightly viscous texture.
