Draught @ HBF 2015

Pours orange with a small head. Aroma of juicy fruits, zesty grapefruit, citrus, pine, resin and yeast. Taste is warming, smooth and juicy with some yeastiness, zesty fruits and toffee. Finish is warming, a bit boozy and juicy with some tropical fruits and yeast. A bit unbalanced, but quite nice still.

Tap at brewpub. Hazy yellow color, small white head. Citrus, mango hoppy aroma, maybe there is banana? Medium-bodied to full-bodied. Banana, alcohol, white pepper. Kind of strong saison ... even it is an ipa! Weird.

Flavours were fruitiness, citricness, malts, booze and bitterness. Aftertaste was boozy and bitter. The ABV was pushing through heavily towards the finish.

Draught @ the brewpub. Aroma is sweet but mellow with cocoa and some tobacco. Smooth palate, low on CO2 Flavour has fruity hops, some ash, tobacco and hints of chocolate. Finishes with lingering hops. A bit too ashy and messy, the hops do not quite fit in. Close to a black IPA.
