Bottle from Biernavigatie, large sample, served in a shaker. Almost clear golden color, medium frothy off-white head. Aroma of citrus, some cookie, bit grassy, some sweet candy, some mango. Medium bitter in taste, quite some malt. Bit one-dimensional. Slight sharpish in the finish. Medium carbonation, medium body. Average IPA.

Hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and crisp. Light and semi dry pale malts, semi sweet. Medium spicy pine hops with trailing floral sweetness and mild citrus. Finishes light with a floral, bitter and spicy linger. Pretty drinkable but not top notch.

Very hazy gold - amber beer, almost cloudy. Good pale cream colour head. Palate is light and crispy. Light semi dry malts, semi sweet. A modest orange - grapefruit citric hop. Very light hop spice. Crispy finish. Not bad but really wants more hop depth and intensity. Quite drinkable though.

Hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and airy, fine carbonation. The malt is clean, as promised on the label, and is slightly sweet with a touch of cream. Hops are spicy pine. Some drying alcohol aniseed, but no real heat. Touch of citrus before a semi dry finish. Decent and drinkable.

Slight haze, light amber, chewy character, crystal malt, light hops are vague but chewy. I guess a little basic

355ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, orangey golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy hoppy aroma with hints of grapefruit, biscuity malt basis, hints of almond, sugar powder, marzipan, also a touch of ’Sauerkraut’. Taste is initially simply bitter hoppy, later citrusy with lemon notes, minimally sweet biscuity malt basis, hints of lemon biscuit; bitter finish with almond touch. Second class IPA.

Bottle from De Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Deep amber, hazy body, with a big, creamy, white head. Fresh aroma of grapefruit, pine, passion fruit, peach, caramel. Taste with about the same aromas, but with a pretty dominant grapefruit and dryness. Mouthfeel is medium to light, slick, with a moderate carbonation and it finishes bitter, dry, piney and citric. Very good. The nose is really delicious and fresh, but the taste is a bit too much dominated by the grapefruit for my liking and pretty strong, close to a Double IPA. Still a tasty and refreshing IPA, that also has distinct pine and tropical fruit notes and the right amount of caramelic malts.

Bottled @ de Molen tasting, small sample. Dark brown color, short off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts, slight chocolate and mocha, slight hint of vanilla. Medium sweet in taste, with more vanilla present. Slight dry and bitter as well. I was expecting much more vanilla, but its almost non-present in aroma and more present in flavor, but all quite subtle. Felt more like a dry stout than a porter, with some vanilla added. Not bad, a bit weak perhaps.

I was expecting more of a Citra presence, but this came off as more of a pale ale. Light citrusy aroma and taste, but not enough bitterness to be in IPA territory. A good beer, but not a great IPA.
