Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 22A). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L16077 (BBF 12/2018). AROMA: medium-low hop aroma with tropical fruit notes, followed by a balanced malt background with a sweet character. APPEARANCE: light amber color and clear. medium ivory, moussy head with good retention. TASTE: medium-low to low hop flavor with piny notes and slight oxidized notes (cheesy). starts overly sweet with a malty background (similar to undeatenuated), followed by medium-high bitterness. finishes semi-sweet, evolving to bitter. PALATE: medium body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: an odd DIPA with overly sweet notes and with less than average hop presence.
