A robust renovation of the India Pale Ale. Assertive dry-hoppying provides an aromatic telltale nose, indicative of the bitter symphony to follow. Bold hop character with lively grapefruit and citrus notes.

Bottle: Poured a slightly hazy dirty orangey color ale with a small foamy head with OK retention and no lacing. Aroma of sweet malt base with light floral hops. Taste is too sweet for the style with some floral hops though not as much as expected. Body is above average with medium carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I found that this was way too sweet for the style and not enough hops presence – bottle has been kept in fridge since I received it though I wonder if this was maybe a bit too aged.

Deep copper body with a good off-white head. Light hop aroma, some fruitiness. Watery weak palate with almost no hop bitterness or malt sweetness going on in the flavor department. Thin. Real disappointment.

Courtesy of kiefdog. Pours clear copper with thin off white head. The aroma has pine and resiny hops to go along with some spicy hops and slick sweet maltiness. The taste is much the same with thick hoppiness I love to sink my teeth into going from pine, resiny sap and grassiness to spicy hops that all run straight into smooth slick malt sweetened hop flavor. Wow, solid IIPA.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has strong notes of hops, grapefruit and peaches, as well as notes of caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of grapefruit, hops, caramel, malt, and straw, leading to a quite Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

22 fl oz bottle. Pours cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Mild pinewood and peachy hops aroma. Peachy and pinewood hoppy flavoured with a nice mild caramelish malt note. Lingering hoppy and slight caramelish flavoured into a persisting dry and fruity hoppy finish.

Hazy amber color. Sweaty hops aroma, fruity and resiny too. Good body, caramel flavor, and powerful bitterness, by a resiny hop; but in its extremeness is well balanced. Very good.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of bu11zeye. Slightly hazy amber with a rough, off-white head. Fat, peachy and perfumy hops in the nose. Medium to full body. Sweet fruit and caramel, peachy hops that slowly grow to leave quite some hoppiness. Pleasant. 220909
