16oz can. Unfiltered orange-tan body. quite murky. Massive, pour delaying, off-white head. Still comes off bitter and diesel and oniony despite the solid hop bill. Boozy, heavy for the moderate ABV. Floaties at the bottom quarter of the can. Maybe this beast just can’t stand the test of time.

Can, 0.473l. Pours cloudy golden color with large frothy off-white head, good lacing and sparkling appearance. Aroma of caramel, pine, ripe stone fruit and grass. Taste starts with medium sweet caramel, following is resinous, fruity and mild herbal, mouthfeel is mild spicy, while finish is heavy grassy bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. I like the iron Maiden font, but the beer didn’t convince me...

On tap @ Top Hops. This is a good looking one, deep dark brown in color and a nice sting chocolate brown head on the top. The aroma gives my a nice sharp hoppy essence. Its almost a little minty, hefty roasted and really grassy. Mint pastilles? Smells quite good. Its definitely well hooped. Soft roasted, softer than the aroma. Its nice and oily in the mouth and just above average on the relatively big carbonation bubbles. Delicious! 18.06.2015

12oz can. Turbid greyed orange-tan body. Massive steady off-white head. A pretty solid Belgian Session IPA if you will. Mellow enough of an ABV to never be harsh. The yeast walks the line, but remains under control bu adding the tastes and tones desired. The hops are present and pleasant, but hard to discern other than for their cooling balance. Pretty solid offering.

Canned, 473 ml from Za Popen’t, Ljubljana. Shared with JFK10000 and Max. Pours cloudy golden with medium white head. Some light hoppiness, vague citrus, sweetish. some light bitterness. Dry finish. soft carbonation. Drinkable, but lacking in every aspect. Not sure if it’s the freshness (bb date was fine) or the beer itself.
