Bottled @ de Molen tasting, BB 28 03 2017, small sample. Soft aroma of some citrussy hop, bit grapefruit, quite caramelly and toffee malts. Lacks hop aroma, although it doesnt seem too old. Bit sweet in taste, bit bitter. Taste is quite ok, I like the malty backbone. But the aroma just doesnt match.

(Keg at Kaisla, 20140528) The beer poured amber and hazy. Its head was medium sized, white and it lasted long. Aroma had fruitiness, grapefruit and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, sweetness, malts, grass and bitterness. Afteraste was hoppy, sweet and bitter. A nice clean hoppy pale ale. A bonus for well hidden sorachi ace.

330ml bottle. Clear, copper colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Citrusy, minimally sweaty, piney hop aroma, hints of orange and lemon, a touch of pineapple, biscuity caramel malty basis. Taste is crisp bitter hoppy, citrusy, notes of lemon, orange, a touch of pine, caramel malty backbone. Quite standard in a sense (or to put it this way, following a distinguishable ideal), but exactly the standard that took great efforts for the precursors to develope it over years, and therefore exactly the level of artisanship you have to reach as a brewer before you seriously should think about setting new standards, about improvement and variation of a style; hence not avant-garde, but a really nice DIPA.

Draft sample @ Birra Expo’14 Piacenza. Noire huileuse, col épais moka laissant un filament doré au verre. Arôme est malté profond sur des notes de chocolat et caramel, une petite pointe d’amertume s’immisce en rétro-nasal avec un nez assez poudreux venant des grains. Palais est épais, malté, chocolat épais grains et caramel. Palais réchauffant sur une fine amertume et petite touche houblonnée.
