EU local swap. Kräutrig hopfiger Beginn mit steigender Herbe. Auch die Hopfigkeit steigt zum Mittelteil an, die Kräuternoten verwässern mit der Zeit. Primär herber Nachhall, dunkel hopfig, spritzig. Nett. 10/9/10/9/11/10

Bottle shared by Beersiveknown @ tasting at his place. Huge thanks Steve! Clear dark orange color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, sweetness, yeast. Meh. Not an IPA by a long shot imo. Bit fizzy carbonation as well.

Bottle shared by Beersiveknown @ tasting at his place. Huge thanks Steve! Clear yellow color, small white head. Hardly any aroma. Taste malts, lightly an underlying weird hint that suggests it’s gonna go bad soon. Hmm I don’t really like it.
