Rich black IPA from this new Dutch brewery. Starts of as an usual black IPA, with a malty finish with hints of rogge. Nice.

(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 24 July 2013) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, orange peel, apricots and hints of resin. Fruity, hoppy taste with citrus, apricots, orange, grapefruit, crystal malt and fresh resinous hops in a finish with a generous bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and quite well balanced. Very nice.

Bottle from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a hazy light amber with a big frothy head and lots of lacing all around the glass. The aroma is weak grassy hop, leading to a medium bitter flavour with lots of grass and nettles on the palate. A "blonde" ? It’s more like a single hop pale ale produced by one of the UK brewers. It’s lost it’s yeasty Dutch identity which is probably why my Dutch friends have marked it down, but it’s certainly picked up a British ID, for which i’ll mark it up! It’s a very drinkable summer ale.

Bottle from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a cloudy light amber with a thin white head. The aroma is dry clean weak and probably of melon! The flavour is weak bitter with a watery inoffensive veggie style palate.

Tap @ Burg Bieren, medium sample. Cloudy yellow to golden color, medium head. Aroma of lovely juniper berries, citrussy hops, hint of grassy hops as well. Hint of fruity sour in taste (like white wine), but mostly bitter. Creamy mouthfeel. Wonderfully refreshing. Surprisingly good, as Im not a fan of these kinds of spiced/herbed beers. Superb balance, lots of flavor and only 5%.
