3.8 Uit de fles geschonken. Troebel geel bier. Aromas van hop, mout, tropisch fruit. Smaken van mout, hop, tropisch fruit, bitter-zout met een lekkere nasmaak die mooi in de mond blijft hangen. Goede IPA.

3.4 Medium white head, golden coloured body, fruity malts sticky smell, medium carbonation medium bitter sticky texture pine hope some liquorise fruity some peach like taste

3.8 Bottle @ cafe Frape, Maastricht. Cloudy golden, creamy offwhite head. Nicely citrusy, spruce hop profile, light but grainy malty base, quite dry and bitter. Good body, medium carbonation.

3.6 Sample at the brewpub. Hazy amber-gold color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily to a film. Strings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of zesty citrus, piney hops and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

3.7 Bottle. It pours hazy orange with a creamy white head. The aroma is fruity hoppy. Mainly orange and citrus notes. Quite bitter hoppy flavor with some tropical hoppy side notes. Some malty notes like crackers and light biscuits. Piney and citrusy finish. Tasty.

3.7 Light opaque golden yellow, off-white lacing foam head. Nice hoppy aroma and very bitter taste. LAsting bitter aftertaste. Some fruit notes. Great. (Velp 201607)

3.2 On tap at the brewpub in Eugene, Oregon. Amber colored body with a good head that leaves some lacing. Caramel malts are dominated by, but not completely masked by, the hops in the nose. Hops clearly dominate the flavor: this is moderately bitter. Grapefruit peel and herbal tones. Smooth, medium body and near medium carbonation.

4.0 Zo he, dit voelt als een hernieuwde kennismaking met IPA, een level hoger. Complex aroma van steenfruit, sinaasappel, citrusschil en gebrande specerijen. Smaak trekt heerlijk lang door met bitters en kruiden, na een verfrissend beginspektakel van sinaasappel, passievrucht, mandarijn en wat suiker. Prima oranje met weinig kraag (te koud ingeschonken...).

3.9 Bottle 35,5cl. Cloudy orange with a white head. Rich aroma with malt and flowery hops. Very nice taste with plenty of bitterness, but in balance. Medium length.

4.4 Zeer mooi oranje licht troebel bier met fijne witte schuimkraag. Fris fruitig aroma (mandarijn, mango, perzik, tropisch fruit). Fruitige tropische aanzet met een heerlijk lange bittere afdronk. Zéér goed in balans. Goeie ipa.

3.8 Bottle, shared with the brewery crew. Pours a medium golden hue, lasting white head. Tropical fruit and pine, nicely attenuated malts (much preferable over the golden syrup sweetness of the Alphadelic), long bitter finish.

3.2 15cl sample at the Ghent Beer Festival VI (22 VIII 2015). A not too pungent indian pale ale. This Hop Valley IPA has a fruity character for sure, coming from the different hop varieties. But the nose is dominated by dust. The taste also has pine wood and hay flavours. This IPA is described as a complex beer, yes maybe, yet it seems to me as neither fish nor flesh.

3.8 Bottle. Hazy golden, white head. Aroma of citrus fruits and some sweetness from malt. In taste fruity, crisp and bitter. Very nice.

2.6 Pours a hazy amber color with a almost no head. Aroma is hoppy and citrussy. Flavors again of citrus, fruity, herbs and spices. Bitter, sweet and badly balance. After a short while it becomes unpleasant and not really nice. Once but not twice.

3.6 Bottled, 355ml from Favourite Beers, Cheltenham, Gloucs. Hazy Orange amber with white head. There is a crisp, malty body to this, with a bitter-sweetness, some pleasing toasty notes. From this there is a full, refreshing hoppy flavour, tropical fruits along with a cleaning citrus note. Lasting palate and refreshing throughout. Pretty decent.

3.3 35,5 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ van Rooij, Culemborg. Hazy amber with a big white head. Citrus hops aroma. Taste is bittersweet with a short sweetish finish. Body is a bit thin. Still good though, nice multilayered IPA.

3.6 12 fl oz bottle from Hippo Beers. Hazy orange amber colour, creamy foam head leaving lacing and aroma of tropical fruits, orange citrus, hoppy. Flavour is malt caramel with juicy fruits, citrus grapefruit, pine, resiny hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.

3.7 Bottle. Pours hazy golden with a nice white head, nit big, but leaves marks on the glass. Aroma is nice, hoppy, citrus, could be more intensive though. Beer is very fruity, crisp with a short, bitter finish. Very good one.

3.6 Bottle in Portland. Nice golden body with slight head. Nose is hops, citrus, grapefruit. Taste of hops and sweet. Nice hoppy finish. Well done.

3.5 Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has an earthy pine note with a bit of bitter citrus and a straw backbone. Flavor has earthy dry citrus with a bit of grass and straw notes supporting.

2.9 New Year Bottle Share in Odense. Cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma of stale citrus hops with a bit of malt. Sweet malty flavour with a citrus touch

3.1 Bottle @ 15.000 Rekvium Pizza Party Basher. Cloudy golden with a white head. Tea-bag, grass, citrus and bread. Medium bodied.

2.4 From bottle at Average Bottlesharers Prollede Smagning. Pours hazy orange with a white head. Aroma of stale hops, caramel, hay, bread. Taste is the same. Pff...

3.4 Goudblond bier met witte schuimkraag. Geur: Fruitig, pompelmoes. Smaak: helemaal niet zo bitter als men zou verwachten. Zelfs wat zoetig, karamel. Niet erg volmondig, meer een doordrinker. Wel ok.

3.7 Terugweg van Oerol in de trein. Bier gekocht bij slijter op West. Lekker fruitig, passievrucht. Droge gruizige afdronk. Fijn hopsmaakje en flink bitter. Backlog from 2015/06/19. Bij Maakun. Harsig fruitig vettig. Backlog from 2015/07/12.

4.0 Very nice colour, yellow-orange, with a tall head that doesn’t last too long, but does leave a nice lacing behind. Smells like pine and pineapple, resin, citrus. Tastes is dominated by citrusy aromas, mixed with pine on a sugary backbone. Very drinkable, very enjoyable.

3.5 33cl bottle at home as a gift from Sanyi, many thanks. Body is slightly opalescent yellow golden, head is small, white, medium bubbles, mostly diminishing, good lacing. Nose is citric, flavor is light grapefruit, tropical fruits, light spices, orange peel. Medium sweet, light bitter. Finish is long lasting hoppy medium bittersweet. Medium body, dry texture, soft to medium carbonation. Easy, refreshing, simple, tasty.

3.9 On tap at the brewery, pours translucent golden amber with a thin off white head. Flowers, tropical fruits, moderate bitterness. Light body. Excellent.
