ABV: 6.0% IBU: 35 Ticks: 23
Beer with strong citrus and tropical hints due to the addition of five different American hops. Amber color, clear. Ivory foam, fine and persistent. To the nose the caramelized notes of malts are accompanied by citrus and herbaceous notes of hops. The sip has a sweet, soft entrance, reminiscent of caramel and cookie. On the finish comes out a bitter round taste, citrus and balsamic, which continues long in the aftertaste.

[as Karma Carminia, ABV 6.0%] Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per il luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. La parte liquida si presenta opalescente. Bollicine fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è carico. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sulla lingua si attestano impressioni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, erba, agrumi, terra e pompelmo.

21/9/2019. Bottle from Die Bierothek, Leipzig. This is a 6% IPA so should probably be separately listed (though I see others have listed it here). Attractive old medicine bottle shaped bottle, this one produced for the Die Bierothek chain as it has their logo and the label is written in German. Pours slightly hazy golden orange with a lasting slightly foamy off-white head. Aroma of citrus, hops, grapefruit, pine and malt. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, slight watery texture, average carbonation. Not bad, but needed a little more body.

11.15 ounce bottle into tulip glass, best before 5/2017. Pours hazy/cloudy dark orange/copper color with a 2 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with good retention that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, apricot, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice aromas with good complexity and balance of citrus/pine hops, moderate dark/bready malt, and fruity yeast notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, apricot, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine/grassy/citrus peel bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, apricot, lemon/orange peel, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops, moderate dark/bready malt, and fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/bready/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is a very nice English IPA. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops, moderate dark/bready malt, and fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the balanced hop/malt flavors and bitterness. Fairly juicy feeling, and not too malty. A very enjoyable offering.
