(Bottle, 0.33 l - BBE Nov 2017, at Stadin Panimobaari, 20170715) The beer poured deep golden and almost clear. Its head was huge, white and it lasted long. Aroma had Belgian style yeast, honey and grass. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, Belgian style yeast, honey, grass, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A clean Belgian style brew approaching a tripel.

Keg at Cerveteca Lisboa. It pours hazy yellow - gold with a thick white head. The aroma is bready, loads of green banana, candy, melon, greengage, cactus, cereal and bread. The taste is dry, some bitterness, white bread, toasty grain, cereal, green, banana, touch of pear drops, apple, dried fruits, spice and some alcohol heat with a dry and warming finish. Medium + body and moderate carbonation. A touch green perhaps, but not bad overall.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 21B-Belgian IPA). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L201PR (BBF - NOV 2017).

TASTE: initial medium orange-like notes, followed by a low floral and herbal-like hop note. medium to medium-high bitterness with a dry finish. slight yeast note.
