Draught at the brewery
Hazy red-amber color with compact head. Aroma of caramel and orangey hops. The mouthfeel is smooth and dry; it has some caramel flavor, some dirt, impression of puke; strong bitterness, with some bitter orange peel.
Ordinary IPA, the hops are not shining enough.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy golden color with compact head. It had a very nice aroma if cereals, barley grains. Smooth mouthfeel; some malt and cereals flavor, but not up to the aroma, medium bitterness, fading too much towards the final.
Not bad.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy light amber color with compact head. Strong aroma of roiboos, that at times is similar to wet malt. Smooth, light, quite dry, with light honey flavor and very light roiboos; correctly bitter; it’s a bit astringent in the end, and drier.
Not bad.
