For us, it was a good ipa, solid, boozy and sweet with a flavor of orange, toffee, cereal, smooth, some spices giving a wind of autumn, bitter, citrus, not a surprise from this serious brewery, 05.05.22, drinking it at Epalinges.

Half pint can at Benny’s place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a fresh, crisp, grainy, peachy tart tangerine citrus, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Bought locally, packaged January 14th.

Pale gold colour, over a finger of foam, good retention, okay lacing.

Smell is of piney hops, little bit spicy, very light hint of bread.

Taste is same as the smell. Finish is on the bitter side. Malt is weak.

Good mouthfeel, okay beer.
I might buy this again.

(Can) Hazy golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Hoppy, fruity nose with notes of passionfruit, pineapple, grapefruit, sponge cake and coffee. Hoppy, fruity taste with passionfruit, grapefruit, pineapple, citrus peel, honey, white bread, a touch of coffee and a generous citric bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and refreshing. Coffee is definitely there, but stays in the background of citrus and tropical fruit. Very nice.

Ilmselt sama isend, mis stone imperial russian stout, aga no uus tick on uus tick... Meeldiv vana kooli isend, röstine ja šokolaadine ja mõru, lagrits ja asjad ka. Hea.
