Bottle at Sternbräu, Rankweil. Aroma is malt, bready, some caramel, fruity notes, soft hops. Flavour is moderate bitter. Body is medium. Rather malty, but decent.

Bottle, 0.5l. Cloudy amber pour, one finger frothy off-white head. Medium retention, good lacing. Not too promising on the nose, grassy, hay, stale hops. Slight citrus notes. Thin body, medium to high carbonation. Light texture and mouthfeel. Mildly bitter taste. Aroma is actually better then the nose - nose gives those "missed style" vibes, but fortunately this is actually a proper IPA. Ok, not the best of them but still passable. Subtle caramel in the background, strong herbal notes in the centre. Grassy, grainy. Notes of rye, subtle citrus. Dry, peppery mouthfeel. Medium lasting finish, herbal, subtle lingering bitterness. Overall, not the best example of the style but still a decent thirst quencher. Ok.

Draught @ Fox & Hounds, Sønderborg. Pours hazy reddish copper brown with stable off-white head. Clear aroma of citrus and hops, with notes of malt and touches of caramel and yeast. Bitter flavour of hops and grass, with sweetish notes of malt and yeast and hints of caramel. Bitter and estery aftertaste. Well, drinkable and not unpleasant but I can hardly see a reason for notoriety here.

Bottle from Terre de Boissons Calais and drunk at home. Clear deep red colour lasting beige head. Some red fruits on the aroma. Some Turkish Delight flavour in the mouth. Some decent malt. Not much hop. But I like the Turkish Delight lasting flavour on the finish. Yes decent, I liked it.

Aug. ’16. A 0.5 l bottle that poured a hazy copper body with a small head. Weak, though fine citrus hop, actually real IPA aroma with sweetish tropical fruits, too. Lightly bitter flavor, citrus, herbal and tropical fruit hops (yes, in its flavor, too). Caramel and biscuit malty counterpart including some similar toasted malt flavors. Medium bodied with longer finish that kept dry herbal bitterness the most. Indeed a surprise, this is quite a decent IPA.

Bottle. Deep amber to copper coloured ale, clear, frothy ivory head. Stays as a well-lacing layer. Aroma: caramel, candy, earth, citrus hops. Light to medium body. Oily. Relatively dry taste. Well-balanced. Caramel malts, medium grassy and citric hop bitterness. The ale goes down softly. Good
