BOTTLE 50 CL from Beerfox, Riga. Almost clear dark mahogany, creamy beige pillowy head with good retention. Sweet overripe citrus in the nose, along with some earthy hops and apricot jam. The taste is overripe dark fruit - not juicy and bright IPA-style - a bit shifted towards toasty malts. The bitterness is soft and mild - ranging from grapefruit pith to dried leaves. A good one.

Overall: ok, seems like some things i like are there, but it doesn’t work very good as single hop. --- Beer merged from original tick of Zaļā Bise Green Bullet on 17 Sep 2017 at 15:53

BOTTLE 50 CL from Beerfox, Riga. Almost clear amber, creamy head with good retention. Clean sweet citrus and tropical fruit aroma, along with some fresh tangerine pith The malts just blend into the fruit, without standing apart. Taste: mellow citrus, light caramel and biscuit, moderate zesty bitterness. A tame, but clean and fine pale ale.

BOTTLE 50 CL from Beerfox. Almost clear dark mahogany, creamy beige head with good retention, Sweet caramel and jammy aroma, notes of earthy and minty hops. A bit cheesy. The taste has the same simplistic sweetness, only partially balanced by some spicy hip bitterness. Too sweet, anyway,

BOTTLE 50 CL from Beerfox. Clear dark amber, creamy tan head. Big creamy malt aroma with citrus and pine. Even the pine seems malty! The taste is malt-driven - smooth creamy malts, followed by subtle citrus and pine. Soft hoppy bitterness with just the right amount of alcohol heat. Smooth creamy mouthfeel. A good example of a malty double IPA.

BOTTE 50 CL from Beerfox. Clear dark copper, off-white creamy head. Punk grapefruit freshness, some pine and zest and lots of dark caramel - but without the sugary sweetness. Smooth pithy bitterness - no harsh green hop spice. Very nice.

BOTTLE 50 CL from Beerfox, Riga. Beautiful clear amber with a small sediment, off-white head. The aroma is hoppy, not very strong but fresh - grapefruit pith, citrus perfume, a bit green and harsh at times. The taste is very close - dry, with subdued malts and a very fresh and spicy hop flavour, at times getting a bit too harsh and gluey.
