Day 14 of my Mr Hop beer advent calendar, got this direct from the webshop, Vernay, Netherlands. Had this at home after a 15-16km loop walk from the house to Brotjackelreigel and the Steinberg Skilift. We've got a homemade Cannelloni in the oven and listening to LCD Soundsystem - Home. Pours a very light hazy gold with a mid sized white head. I have to be honest, for a Siren beer this is majorly disappointing, it really doesn't tick the West Coast IPA vibes for me. It's a bit sluggish, aroma verging on artificial, and despite being easy drinking for the abv there are few other positives. Lacking in bitterness, hoppiness, crisp bite, in fact whilst not a bad beer, it's just a bit of a disappointment. Score 6.3

Dark toffee roasted malts, dark caramel, stale beer in the Aroma
Flavor is better, sweet toffee , caramel, butter, faint roasted malts, vanilla , somehow does not feel overly adjunct driven, tastes like a good dessert cake.
