Although it calls itself "International Pale Ale", this delicious and aromatic ale is not hoppy enough to fit the profile. We are US importers of the beer and working with the brewery to rebrand Aurea as "Iberian Golden Ale" - light, bright, superbly aromatic with strong notes of green guava, ripe melon, muscatel grapes with creamy yet prickling effervescence. Delicious Ale but not an APA or an IPA. Available in USA through Shelton Brothers distributors in bottle and keg.

It is just my opinion but I drank better IPA or it is maybe not my beer. It is really sparkling and there is a side metalic, hop, nice color, 24.05.16

Half pint at Lupulo pours a clear yellow with some creamy white head. Nose was nice, green and grassy, some pine, citrus zest. Flavor has very simple grist, a little honey, then nice grasses and pine needles. Dry, bitter, crazy easy to drink.

From tap at Café De Koffer, Groningen. Grassy and fruity hop with citrus, bready pale malt, some tropical notes, hint of grapefruit. Moderate to medium bitter, lightly sweetish, a little dry. Medium body. A bit modestly hopped but easy and pleasant.

Billynomates solo hotel tasting. Hazy gold beer, fluffy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has modest fine carbonation. Light and mildly sweet malts. Sweet floralness into a touch of lemon sherbet, very mild. Modest orange citrus and peel. Trace of soap. Light finish. Comes over like a well hopped saison.
