Can at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Fruity and malty aroma with orange and some pine resin. Flavour is above moderate sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Not a great IIPA, but still a fine and easy hoppy citrussy beer. Not bad.

Can from Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Aroma is roasted malt with chocolate, liquorice, caramel, soft spicy/herbal notes including laurel and mint, a touch of coffee. Flavour is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Body is bordering on full. Nice quasi-Imperial Stout with lots of liquorice, dark chocolate and herbal notes. Just a little too heavy on the liquorice to be a true winner.

Can from Sterk Amsterdam. Aroma is grainy malt and corn with citrussy lemony notes and minerals. Flavour is light sweet with a decent bitterness for the style. Body is rather light. Decent for the style, should be acceptable on a summer day.

Can from Sterk Amsterdam. Aroma is grassy hops with fruits, citrus, touch of melon, lychee, and tropical hints. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and medium bitter. Body is light to medium. Not a showstopper by any means, but I found this a pleasant and easy fruity IPA.
