Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 21A). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L-003. AROMA: moderate-low hop aroma with faint notes of citrus and slight pine, floral. background of sweet malt with caramel notes and a bit of peppery alcohol. APPEARANCE: light ambar color and translucent. medium ivory head with medium-low retention. TASTE: moderate-low hop notes similar to aroma (slight resin, floral, grass) almost in balance with a sweet malt background with caramel character. medium bitterness that lasts beyond a semi-dry and bitter finish. PALATE: medium-light to medium body with a slight velvety texture. medium-low carbonation. no astringency. OVERALL: an american style IPA without the classic upfront hop presence and with a bit too much caramel.
