Galway Bay Full Sail
Keg and bottle (unfiltered) Originally 4.7% now 5.8%.
The simple malt bill gives an ABV of 5.8% which carries the flavour and really allows the hops to shine through.
The hops used are of American origin, Colombus, El Dorado and Cascade (45 IBU). With multiple generous additions in the kettle and further dry hopped before it reaches you as fresh as it can be

thin white head. Very hazy golden pour. Nice bitterness.
Canned, 330ml from Honest Brew, Penge, London. Hazed yellow gold with white head. There is a pleasant resinous, pine needle note from the off. There is a decent malty character to this, moderately drying and bitter, crisp. Good depth of flavour, greenish hops, citrus, grapefruit. Good drinking IPA.
Hoppy crystal number. Weak head lager in colour. Fresh IPA.
Blik 33cl thuis. Grapefruit, citrus, pine, redelijk koolzuur, tropisch fruit, licht droog, lange nadronk. Klein beetje dun. (10-1-2021).
Pleasant fruity ipa
330ml can. Hazy gold, two finger white head, decent retention. Aroma of orange, pine resin, grapefruit. Taste is the same with pine coming more prevalent and a malty backbone, bitter finish. Moderate body and soft carbonation. Very good.
Hoppy aroma, citrusy and grapefruit, crystal malt sweetness also. Dry flavour, grapefruit and pine, long dry bitter flavour.
Very, very abundant foam.
Taste not well defined.
A total disaster.

Hazy pale yellow colour with a small white head. Good lacing. Aroma is citrusy hops, straw and grapefruit. Taste is slightly fruity and malty. Soft bitter finish.
Next one please!
33 cl. can @ home, bought @ van Rooij, Culemborg.
Hazy amber with a very big white head. tropical fruit aroma with some pine. Sweet taste with a low bitter finish with a light astringent tone. Not sure but this batch may be a bit infected, judging it by the foaminess and the sour astringent touch. What is left is a solid IPA which I may have judged to harshly.
330ml Dose. Dunkelorange mit Trübung und und mittelgroßer Schaumkrone. Citrathopfen Aroma. Feinherb im Antrunk. Erfrischend. Gut.

From hb
Blik gedeelt door Roelzie1986. Het is een troebel oranje bruin bier met een dun schuim. Het heeft een hoppige geur. De smaak is hoppig en wat wrang.
A quite fruity aroma, citrus and grapefruit. The medium large white milky head has a long duration, the body is pale yellow.
A quite bitter taste, citrus, a light metallic finish. The body is light and dry with a lively carbonation.
Liquide doré et orangé avec mousse légère et importante. Nez herbeux et zeste de pamplemousse. En bouche, c'est une attaque très pamplemousse immédiatement couverte par un côté très herbeux et résineux créant une très belle amertume !
330ml can. Intriguing green herbal hop notes suggesting basil, pesto with sugar crusted grapefruit and lemon. Nose sticky resin, nettle, pesto. Never used that as a descriptor before. Bonus point. Diaphanous gold with a fine lacy foam. Floral and husky notes. Unusual. Good brew.
From Beer52 had at home in May 2020 a very nice 5.8% IPA in a 330ml can.
Can pours clear amber-gold at first, then cloudy dark gold with a white foam. Nose is lightly yeasty, with notes of tropical fruit and ginger. Malty and crisp, a little pithy citrus and juicy sweetness, gently creamy, with dry pithy-fruity bitterness lasting into the finish. Very nice hazy IPA.
