Description
Piwo to dla nas rock’n’roll, połączenie solidnego rzemiosła i zdrowej dawki szaleństwa.
Wychodzimy poza sztywne ramy stylów, eksperymentujemy z ciekawymi składnikami i procesem warzenia.
Nie kierujemy się schematami i utartymi regułami.
Kochamy niezależność i stawiamy na szukanie własnej drogi we wszystkim, co robimy.
Nasze piwa tworzymy dla tych, którzy tak jak my, są ciekawi nowych smaków i wykraczania poza wyrysowane linie.
Bo Kingpin nie znosi poprawności.

0,5L bottle (from Špunka). Pours hazy amber with off-white head. The head stays. Aroma is sweet, fruits, malt. Flavor is fruity, citrus, grapefruit, grass, malt, biscuits, pine. Finish is grapefruit bitter. Overall: not a fan of APA-s, but this has good enough hop profile to be ok.

Bottle. Pours hazy amber with small white head. Intense, hoppy aroma with round, fruity and malty notes. Intense, bitter flavour of hops, enhanced by notes of citrus and touches of yeast and grass. Lingering, bitter, hoppy aftertaste. Decent.

Butelka 0.5l (12.07.2015 / 04). Piwo o brunatnej barwie z bezowa, gesta, obfita piana, trwala i ladnie krazkujaca. W aromacie chmiel, cytrusy a za nimi nuty palone, ktore zaczynaja rzadzic w miare ogrzewania sie piwa. Srednia do wysokiej goryczka, chmielowo-palona skontrowana slodycza z delikatnym kwaskowym finiszem. Piwo jest wytrawne, tresciwe z ciut przydluga i lodygowa goryczka. Ogolnie ciemnosc znad wrzosowiska mnie zauroczyla i jestem na TAK.

Bottle. Pours hazy darkish amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt with notes of hops and, dust and vegetables. Souriah flavour of pumpkin, malt and hops, with estery touches. Bitter aftertaste. Okay but nothing revolutionary.

500 ml bottle from a trade with krewak. Thanks!
Dark golden, hazy body, with a small, frothy, white head.
Aroma of grass, herbs, citrus, some fruits, slight spices.
Taste is bitter and dry, with grapefruit, tangerine, some fruits, spices, pepper, dough, grass, herbs, candy.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes bitter, dry, zesty, spicy and a bit yeasty.

Nice! The nose is very grassy and with herbs, while the taste reminds me of a Belgian Saison, dry, zesty, spicy and even with some dough notes. Really interesting, I didn’t have such a Pale Ale before.

Bottle, 7.0%. Quite fruity aroma, aromatic hops. Almost black colour. Small stable frothy light brown head. The flavour is nicely hoppy, grassy with a little bite. Good roasted note as well. Not the worst black IPA I have had.

Hazy, dark brown. Airy, light offwhite head. Hoppy, piney aroma and flavour. Medium body, rather light considering the ABV.
