500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear orange gold, big long-lasting white. Aromas of floral hops, light spice, caramel. Taste is more of the same, really nice balance to this. Good example of the style.

Bottle - Christmas gift. Poured a cloudy amber colour with a thin white head and some lacing. Aroma of honey, perfume and orange juice. Very dry flavours of grass, bitter citrus and some chewy malt. Finish was highly astringent bitterness with copper and earwaxiness...

Clear golden beer with a thick, frothy head. Aroma is very pleasant, not-oversweet fruit with hops. The flavour is much the same, it could easily have been over-fruity or over-hoppy but the balance is just about right. The aftertaste is a little more bitter than I’d choose, however.

Bottle. A dense, two-finger light beige head forms over an unclear, orangey reddish body. The aroma is both malty and fruity, but lacks a bit to deserve the IPA moniker I think. Some grass and grape fruit peel. Nice bitterness in the flavor, some grass, pine cones and grape fruit, with pale malts and some biscuity hints in the back. Medium to full body, quite dry and a bit heavy on the carbonation. Overall, a quite nice one, but nothing more than that. 120622
