From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Spicy and herbal aroma with cucumber, a definite gin character, juniper, dill, and basil. Sweetish taste, abv hidden reasonably well. Herbal gincumber? I did not expect to like his as much as I do, it's fun and different.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Very juicy aroma with lots of orange, tangerine, tropical notes, grapefruit, light malt, orange peel. Sweetish and soft with a moderate to medium bitterness. Body is medium. Very aromatic, tons of fruitiness with a milder flavour than the flagship Pernicious IPA.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is fruity and dank-ish hops with citrus peel, orange, pine, some pale malt, tropical notes, grapefruit. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Good all-round IPA, some dankness, but mostly a classic American IPA profile.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is fruity and grassy hops with (wicked) weedy tones, citrus, biscuity malt, some pine, orange, tropical notes, touch of bubblegum. Flavour is sweetish with a medium bitterness. Body is medium. A bit more grassy than I expected, and could be more 'Imperial'. That being said, this is a very fine IPA.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is smooth Bourbon with dark malt, caramel, chocolate, green peppers, vanilla, oak, spicy notes, toffee. Flavour is medium sweet without the firm chili burn you'd expect, it's fairly subtle and the chili is present more in the aroma than in the flavour. Body is above medium. Very nice, smooth and balanced with lovely Bourbon and peppers.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Funky and dry with a nicely complex Bretty aroma, tart fruits including some pear but fortunately not too much because I don't really like pear. Canned fruits, wood. Sour and mild bitter, medium body, wow very good.
