330ml bottle. Clear golden colour with small, thick, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Piney, slightly floral and minimally herbal hoppy aroma, biscuity malty background. Taste is minimally bitter, citrusy hoppy, a touch of lime and straw, minimally floral hoppy finish; the sediment brings about a sweet-ish touch of melon. Overall one-dimensional, flabby, disappointing.

330ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, dark golden to amber colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy hoppy aroma, notes of mandarine, orange, orange zest; intense sniffing reveals typical liquorice (others would say "burnt plastic") notes. Taste is crisp bitter hoppy, some orange and mandarine, a chalky touch, some plain, "old school" hop bitterness as well; bitter and chalky finish. Not overly aromatic, relatively light body, minmally watery - I’d prefer any of Kehrwieder’s other SHIPAs.

Bottle shared with Erwin Van Moll, Joes, and Jaap @ Van Moll Brewpub. Opaque dark brown color, full sized quite creamy off-white to lightly beige head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is a bit faint imo, I only get malts, lightly floral, oatmeal. Taste malts, oat, oatmeal, softly bitter, softly roasty with a slight sweet malty touch. Smooth texture, average to medium carbonation.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Mastikim. Thanks Vova. Slightly hazy gold. Slightly stale "green" hops aroma. Flavor has mild malt sweetness and slightly stale hops, "green", with some melon. Quite light-bodied.
