Bottle bought at 8e Utrechtse Brouwersfestival. Sweet malty and resin aroma with ripe fruits, orange marmalade, caramel, and pine resin. Sweet sugary flavour with a medium bitterness. Body is above medium with a slight sticky feel. Sweet and resinous with ripe orange, nice beer but below average IIPA for me.

330ml bottle at Drie Dorstige Herten. Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aromas & tastes of grapefruit, mango, lemon, grass, caramel & hops. Medium body. Long moderate bitter finish. Very enjoyable

Can 330ml (Hoptimaal, BB 06/2024)
Dark orange-pale amber cloudy colour, steady white head. Blood grapefruit and dry yeast in the nose. Medium-bodied. Orange, citrus, passion fruit in the flavour. Malty but easy for its ABV. Aroma is a bit musty, probably it is 7 months old can. Tolerable.

Amber with a lasting white head. Malty aroma with a touch of citrus. Sweet malty flavour with citrus notes and a medium bitter finish.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, light amber colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity hoppy aroma with tropical fruity and zesty, citrusy aspects, notes of grapefruit, some overripe orchard fruit, a touch of mango, orange peel. Taste is dry, fruity hoppy, pale and caramel malty backbone with some residual sweetness, zesty notes of lemon, grapefruit. Light body, watery texture, dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Quite dry, very drinkable, not the fruitiest DIPA on planet Earth - OK.

Bottle at Café Tilt, Utrecht, Netherlands Monday 18th October 2021, sat outside. Appearance is hazy warm gold with a white head. Super fruity, dry, bitter, a little furry bite. Really good. --- Beer merged from original tick of Refuse/Resist on 09 Jan 2026 at 16:38 - Score: Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7. Original review text: On tap at Oproer brewpub, Utrecht Friday 9th January 2026, after a long wet walk from the hotel via De Kromme Harring (not open until 4pm, schoolboy error 😐) then into town, we visited Eetcafé de Poort first, then DeRat. Pours hazy warm gold, mid sized white head. Good mouthfeel, sweetish, There's a a little sweet citrus, a hit of honey, a little bit of perfume edge which I quite like, nice, malty. Best one here so far. Score 7.1

Amber with a frothy head. Aroma of caramel, peaches and earl gray tea. Pleasant. Taste is less interesting, bitter with dried out resin and a touch of metal. Chewy body, balanced carbonation. Watery uptick at the end, which is further unbalanced by notes of raw alcohol. Drinkable but flawed.

Fles 33cl thuis. Juicy, hoppig, vrij plakkerig, bitter, zoet, pine, harsig, sinaasappel, licht droog, witte peper, tropisch fruit. (28-6-2021).
