Bottle. It pours an almost clear body, golden in color and with a small, dense, off-white head. Fruity nose with a touch of maltyness. Some citrus peel, but that doesn’t prevent it from being a rather boring beer. It’s quite bitter on the palate, with some pale malts in the back. Pine cones and some resiny hints too. Medium body, quite dry. Lasting bitterness in the finish. Far from my preferred beer, but it’s far from bad. 120622

Bottle. A dense, two-finger light beige head forms over an unclear, orangey reddish body. The aroma is both malty and fruity, but lacks a bit to deserve the IPA moniker I think. Some grass and grape fruit peel. Nice bitterness in the flavor, some grass, pine cones and grape fruit, with pale malts and some biscuity hints in the back. Medium to full body, quite dry and a bit heavy on the carbonation. Overall, a quite nice one, but nothing more than that. 120622
