Pours extra hazy dirty orange colour, topped with a medium white head. Stronger hoppy aroma with notes of sweet tropical fruit, some pines in the back and later on some creamy-strawberry notes. Strong bitterness, quite sharp, actually a bit too sharp, finishing with medium aftertaste. Would be perfect if the bitterness would be toned down a bit. Still nicely enjoyable.

Taste of pine, roasted malts, coffee, resin, tropical fruit, a little rye spice, quite bitter. Medium bodied, creamy smooth mouthfeel, soft-average carbonation. Great BIPA.

Pours hazy orange, topped with large soapy white head, immedtiately disappearing. Gentler and sweet fruity notes with bubblegum and citruses, tangerine peel. Fruity sweetness in the taste as well, moderate bitterness with sharp and lasting herbal aftertaste. Lighter body. The fruiyt sweetness is too invasive and sharp to be fully enjoyed.

On tap at Pivo & burger Fest in Ljubljana. Pours perfectly hazy, dirty golden, topped with medium sized and medium lasting white foamy head. Pleasant fruity citrusy hoppy nose with fresh character. Light bodied, solid hoppy bitterness and gentle malty back, some citrusy presence from the aroma in the taste as well. Lasting bittery aftertaste. Very nice and fresh combination of both characters with decent IPA feeling.

On cask at Lajbah, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy hops, with a stale cardboard character. Flavour is a bit stale, with cardboard, earthy hops and light biscuity notes. Tastes stale and off-coloured. No good.
