A crisp, bitter American Style IPA bursting with aromas of citrus fruits from the Cascade and Vic Secret dry hops. The hops are the stars here with flavours of juicy tangerines and bitter grapefruit but there is a strong enough malt backbone to provide a balanced finish.

Bottle Fil brought from Italy I guess. Clearish golden body, off-white head. Oxidized aroma, lychee and herbal hops. Dry, soapy taste, light veggies, sweetish oxidized maltiness, light strawberries, papery, no bitterness. Well, to be rerated if ever found fresh looking at the average, but this shows signs of age and likely improper storage by the supermarket.

From the bottle, batch 6. Orange with a frothy white head. Aroma is full of tangerine and grape juice. Taste is moderately bitter but balanced by a solid malt backbone and hints of caramel. Finish is long and bitter. Body is medium to full and lightly oily with moderate carbonation. Pretty good overall.

Un arco olfattivo dominato dal luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al palato finiscono sentori di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, agrumi e arancia.

Bottle from Dunnes Clonmel. Expectations were high after tasting the Francis IPA from this crowd. More of an English IPA rather than a US one. More malt than I'd normally like and the hops are more of the floral/resin flavour than the tropical fruit or citrus I've come to enjoy. Decent but forgettable Rerate on 5/3/19 Rye River reworked the recipe and now labeled this one as Working Day IPA. Although not quite as punchy tropical fruit and grapefruit as Francis’s IPA, this is now a very nice, easy-drinking IPA.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a hazy deep golden with a white head. Lightly peachy aroma, but also a little sweaty/greasy in the hops. Rich, malty body, some caramel and a fairly rough and uncompromising bitterness that takes absolutely no prisoners. Has an unpleasant metallic tang to it. I wouls’ve loved more aroma and less bitterness from the hops used. 220916
