Slight gushing to small, but persistent off-white head; over unclear orange beer. Superb grape/grapefruit nose, in an absolutely stunning way. The most honest hopbitter one could wish for. I love this outspoken - outshouted - grapefruit flavours. Slick, light even in body, but whomever calls this watery, I’ll drown. Stunningly good IPA, amongst the best I’ve ever tasted. Big, big thanks to Dirk!

Bottle: Poured a cloudy light orangey color ale with a big foamy head with some good retention and some lacing. Aroma of bitter and citrusy hops is quite interesting and totally dominating. Aroma of bitter hops with some citrusy notes are totally dominating. I have to admit that I wasn’t expecting much from this but was pleasantly surprise overall. I believe that if you going to do one-dimensional bitter beers that the way you have to go. I also have to admit that this is one bad label!

12oz bottle courtesy of Dickonsonbeer. Pours murky orange with a small head. Lots of light in the beer but still low clarity. Small head. Aroma is grapefruit skins-hoppy strong. One can smell the bitter assault. Taste is more relaxed with felt bitterness on the tea-like citrus hoppy beer. Medium body and rather refreshing. Moderate carbonation.
