A golden IPA with a thin off white head. In aroma, nice complex mix of floral and catnip hops, piney yet delicate, very nice. In mouth, a nice smooth hoppy biscuit malt with light piney notes and musky notes.

Really lacks character. A little too modest would be my assessment. Pours clear orange without head or lacing. Smells lightly hoppy with some malt. Alcohol hidden very well, but this tastes more like a pale ale than an UPS, let alone double. Finishes a little sour. Very light palate for style. On cask at volos.

A deep dark IPA with a thick lacing brown head. In aroma, loads of fruity and citrusy floral hops with catty resinous notes, fragrant and delicious. In mouth, a sweet delicious chocomalt with floral resinous hops, grapefruit, mentol, lingering and smooth.

Can shared by Karol, thanks. Aroma grassy, grapefruit, earthy. Hoppy. Good, bud quite one-dimensional. Lightly hazy golden colour. Taste initially strong honey-ish malty, after a moment hops kicks in. Grassy, fresh, earthy, grapefruit. Again a bit one-dimensional, well made though. The simple hops character is a bit boring. Finish is earthy, zesty, grapefruit. Good, but not too interesting. Tap at Unortho, everything remains more or less the same.
