Light haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and dry. Decent fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, thin and not that sweet. Bitterish seltzer. Yeast. Thin citrus, some peel. Light dry finish. Not ticking my IPA boxes at all here. Unsatisfying.

Spiced IPA from a young micro brewery in Rotterdam. Very thick, ’papery’ lacing, egg-white, moussy head remaining closed most of the time, slightly hazy pale orange blonde colour with quiet fizz, turning fully misty and darker (almost amberish orange) with deposit. Aroma instantly reminds of lime peel and lime blossom, probably representing both the hops and the kaffir lime leaves cleverly interacting with each other and lending it the intended (and expected) oriental spiced cachet; I otherwise get hints of sugared lemon juice, fresh mandarin, lemon balm, hyssop, starfruit, ’stroopwafel’, tropical orchids, biscuit, red apple as well as a whiff of iron. Refreshing, immediately ethereal and spicy onset, hints of starfruit, lychee and kiwi, bit fizzy carbonation adding minerals and sourishness, light and supple maltiness, dryish due to hops already executing their bittering powers early on but still recognizably bready and sweetish, spicy kaffir lime leaves again working well with the aromatic hops and carrying into a dry, spicy, bitter finish, leafy, peppery, grapefruity and even somewhat quinine-like; the lime and other citrus effects, as well as a distinct herbal note (wormwood, hyssop) return retronasally. Some of the juicy malt sweetness creeps through but otherwise the hops completely dominate the finish, and they do that very well. I love most southern and eastern Asian cuisines and I can see this work well with certain Malay or Indonesian dishes. It appetizes, it dries, but most of all: it breathes an oriental fragrance which never becomes boring. Interesting find.

Bottle. Copper brown pour. Aroma of caramelised malt and raisin. Flavor of bitter caramelised malt, butter, toffee and a little spice. I expected some smoke.
