Bottle thanks to Kenny. It pours black with a small light tan head. The aromas is rich, bitter - sweet, spicy, ginger, dark fruits, Dandelion & Burdock, damp leaves and jam. The taste is bitter, roasted malt, peppery spice, ashy, charred wood, cocoa nibs and cola with a dry, charred finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Overall it is decent, but the taste doesn’t quite live up to the aroma.

Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, a touch of creamy sweetness. Good hops - mild skunk, pine, bitterish orange peel, light hop spice and more pine. Mild tropical fruits and a trace of herb. Light and bitterish finish. A bright and intense IPA. Impressive!

330ml bottle from Saveur-Biere.fr. Pours hazy amber, white head. Aroma is bright tropical fruit. Taste has a deliciously fresh fruit hop character, good floral notes with a mild bitterness. Very good IPA.

Very pale yellow, hazy, with almost no head. Lemon and a bit of caramel, with an astringent aftertaste. Not the best wheat ale out there.

hazy extremely pale yellow colour, moderate sized white head; aroma of tropical fruits, boiled vegetables, some bread, maybe lemony notes, too...and something quite disgusting; taste is rather bittery and sweet than sourish with overripe tropical fruity, bready notes and some celery; would be enjoyable without this penetrant (faeces-like) smell :-( befogott orral egész jó, de ez a mindent átható sz_r szag egészen abszurddá teszi az élményt...

Tasting at Ferris’, L16, bb 02/17
Hazy golden color, small head. The hops are aggressive, strong, a bit fruity, a bit piney, very resiny; the mouthfeel is very dry. A bit too dry in the end.
Nice to see that they got some good hops down there and they knew how to use it.
