Sampled at 8th Danish Ratebeer Gathering, Ulfborg 2015. Bottle. Lightly hazy yellow golden color, virtually no head. Smell and taste sourness, sour fruits, lightly unripe red fruit. Suitable body and carbonation. Not bad at all.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Pours a deep black with some light brown highlights with no head. Aromas of soy sauce, dark chocolate, cream and molasses. Taste is soy sauce with a strong roasted cacao and malt character. Fairly smooth...almost pinot noir like in texture. Not really that special and bit boozy at the end. The oatmeal gives it a nice softness.

At GBF. Dutch ISA with stable, creamy, snow white head and clear golden blonde colour. Aroma strangely has pickled gherkins, even Sauerkraut, white bread, flowers, white pepper; fairly neutral onset, clean fruitiness, shifting to a pleasant bready maltiness with a weird salty accent, almost reminiscent of Gose, and ending in a mild but aromatic, floral and spicy hoppiness. Unusual session IPA, that much is clear, but I liked it.

(Thx! for sharing) Sampled bottled @ Gents Bierfestival 2015. Hazy golden, solid white head. Nose is odd sweet oily pine resin, sweet citrus with some candy, peel, sugar. Taste is weird, watery, herbal, orange peel, sugar, candy,… Body is a bit watery. Too sweet, weak & watery for me. A define step back in my opinion from the non-session / old version.

Bottle at 100 piv. Aroma lots of hops, citrusy. Also lots of maltiness, biscuity, toffee. Hazy deep orange colour. Stable head. The most noticeable thing for me here is the overall intensity of all the flavours. Same as in aroma, not overly complicated, but rich, rather full bodied but also rather bitter. Very high bitterness overcomes high residual sweetness. Alcohol is noticeable yet feels mellow, adding a layer of pleasant warmth. Excellent.

On tap at GBBF 2015, Olympia, London. A hazy dark amber coloured pour with a massive off white head on top. Hoppy, malty, grapefruit aroma. Tastes similar, hoppy, malty, grapefruit, bitter. An OK IPA but was expecting more from this.

(330ml bottle @ PiBar, Lausanne, Aug 11 2015) Pours black with a big pillowy off white head and lots of lace. Aroma is not particularly strong, chocolate powder, softly grainy cereal/bread notes, coffee, light roast, anise, maybe some fruit. Palate is equally soft and balanced with a core of dark malts that are fairly sweet with milk chocolate, vanilla, dark fruit, oatmeal, liquorice, thin acidic roast like light roast coffee towards the finish. Medium-full and quite creamy in the mouth with soft carbonation. Feels great and the balance is good, but lacks some punch to stand out flavour-wise.
