440ml can. Clear golden, small white head. Aroma of lemon and lime. Taste is lemon and lime, very zesty, some pale bready malts, light hop bitterness with a sort of sharp citric finish. Light-medium bodied.
The way this is described makes it sound like a normal IPA with lemon juice added, but it really does taste like an actual Radler. I didn't think it was very hoppy either (not a bad thing, considering the style).

Can from Beerdome. On the roasty side of Black IPA, notes of coffee and chocolate. Bittering hops mostly, hints of citrus and grapefruit. Mostly roasty, it's good roast though.

Can at home. Vwry dark briwn with creamy tan head. Pine, soft grapefruit, zesty hops, blueberries, dry malts, light chocolate and roasted notes. Medium seeet, a bit less bitter. Medium bodied, creamy but with a dry finish. Quite nice beer, not a typical black IPA, the roasted notes are more present in the finish, but it's nicely hopped and very drinkeable.
