Very crisp and beautiful vermillion tinted, orange and deep amber glowing body with a nice two centimetre tall just off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of soft grassy and floral hop notes with a light bitterness from the alpha acids and a bit of sweetness in the nose from stone fruits. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong richer malt notes with a good crisp profile that shows some light alpha acid bitterness from the hops with some smoother malt complexities and a good balance throughout. Aftertaste shows a crisp and enjoyable profile throughout with a good balance and richness with a pungent sweetness and some soft fruit notes that give this some good complexity. Overall, a good beer to sample and much better than expected, perhaps better than their IPA, with this one having a stronger fruit profile and still some pleasant bitterness from the hops. I sampled this 33 cL bottle (blue front) purchased from Vivanda [grocery store] in San Borja/San Isidro, Lima, Peru on 01-August-2022 for S./9,90 sampled on in the outdoor pool of my hotel, here in Lima, Peru [in wintertime] with my wife and three kids on 02-August-2022.

Crisp and ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a very large, microfoamed, but long-lasting off-white head about 8 centimetres tall, with a zillion bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of bright hops, grassy, floral and perfumey notes with some strong yeast and bread here as well. Light-bodied; Sharp pungent grassy hop notes show at first with a hint of hop pellets and some light cherry and stone fruit flavours with a kick of citrus fruits as well and some mild yeast and malt notes with a kick of soft sugars behind. Aftertaste shows some more pungent yeast and perfumey notes with a lot of hop bitterness from the citrus fruit and grassy flavours at the end. Overall, a decent IPA with a lot of hay, grassy and perfumey characteristics, but a pretty good balance of malts with a nice sweet touch from fruits at the end. Not a bad beer for the first sample here in Peru with a nice perfumey quality and some passion and skill actually noticeable in the beer itself - good to see down here! I sampled this 33 cL bottle (blue front) purchased from Wong [grocery store] in CencoSud, San Isidro/Miraflores, Lima, Peru on 01-August-2022 for S./ 9,89 sampled on the streets of Lima, Peru with my wife and three kids on 02-August-2022.

Pours a hazy dark orange with some clumpy, white head. Nose has tangerine and orange, heavy malt and honey comb, wet corn. Flavor is sweet with malt and honey and corn, some soapy bitterness, some grass too. Full bodied and oily on the finish.
