Bottle split at Bruce’s Tavern, big thanks to Kenny although this CDA finder takes minor credit for being his informant on this one, 08/04/14. Watcha got for me today Rocket ? Well Kenny, word has it there’s a new Seedy Eh goin on at that Etre Gourmet gaff. Really, how much is it worth ? About 4 Euro to you guv and a cheeky rate by me. Ok, I’ll see you right on this one, keep your Cascadian nose clean you guttersnipe! Murky mahogany brown with a moderate beige covering that stays for the performance. Nose is jammy berry fruit, the Ribena berry showgirls, light smoke, earthy hops, pine pa pang. Taste comprises light smoke, roasty twang, jammy berry fruits, pine, dusty hops, light cocoa. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Solid CDA ticking each and every style box.

Bottle shared with Joes and Dutchdrebus @ weekly tasting. Hazy orange color, huge white to off-white head. Aroma is malts, orangepeel, hops. Taste malts, orangepeel, a lemon-like sourish hint, yeasty. A bit like a citrus-hoppy saison. Firm carbonation, lightly oily texture, medium body. As an IPA I don’t find this a great succes, but it’s a nice beer for sure.

Bottle @ joes shared by benzai. Very hazy yellow to orange colour with a small white head. Smells hops, apricot, fresh, orangepeel, fruity, slightly sour. Tastes Belgian yeast, orangepeel, hint of sour.. Typical Belgian taste pretty much, just a bit hoppier than we’re used too (which is nice). Thin to medium body, slightly fizzy carbo.

Tasting at Bruce’s Pad. Opaque dark brown beer, good pale cream coloured head. Palate is soft and airy with fine carbonation. Very mild dark malts and airy malt cream. Nice hops - mix of sweetish pine and tropical fruits. Finishes smooth. Liked this! Smooth and soft and fruity.

33cl bottle at Põrgu, Tallinn (served in original tasting glass). Pours pretty dark brown with a small, but lasting beige head. Moderate malty aroma with dominating hoppy notes. Roasty notes are present, but citrus, pine and tropical fruits are more dominating - especially the fruits. Anyway a pleasant and easy to drink BIPA.

Happy aroma, fruity, citrusy. Flavour is initially quite tart like grapefruit juice. Fruity and grassy, lots of hop complexity but with a well moderated level of bitterness. Fresh and clean.
