3.6 on tap @ Eleszto, Budapest. Herbal and floral profile, there’s also some pine lurking around. It tastes fresh and citrusy. Medium sweet and light, nice drink!

3.0 0.33l bottle. Clear amber color with low white head. Aroma: caramel, light citrus, malt. Taste: malt, citrus, caramel. Medium body, soft/moderate carbonation, higher bitterness. Not bad but quite boring IPA.

3.0 330 mml bottle as part of the European Secret Santa 2016 edition, many thanks to MisoW for this one. Tasted on the 13/02/2017. Hazy golden amber colour with a medium white head. Herby and floral aroma, with some hops on the background. Taste is medium pniey and hoppy with a medium bitter finish. Next one please!

3.2 Bottle: friends gift from 100 piv, Bratislava; pours copper/deep golden, slightly clear, with foamy long lasting off-white head. Aroma: biscuit like malt notes, supported with moderate hop aroma, which takes on citruses, florals.. Flavor: moderate citrusy, piny, herbal hop profile, supported with light bread and toffee like malt notes. Hop bitterness is medium to high, bitterness lingers in aftertaste. Body is moderate, texture soft, carbonation is medium.

3.5 Very good, dense yellow head over veiled dark orange-copper beer; textbook lace. Exotic fruit nose, bit weyish, buttermilk, tart grapes. Pretty bitter and resiny above all; citrus and exotic fruit retronasal; little bit of liquorice and a tad cheesy after a while. Light body if pretty (grist)slick; good carbonation. Quite decent IPA. Ďakujem, Peter!

3.7 Bottle. Dark amber color, clear liquid, white head. This used to be my favourite, but they have changed recipe probably (to worse). Still good though. Citrus, pine aroma with a tin of caramel. Medium bitter, drinkable.

3.9 Decent IPA but getting little oldfashioned. The more I drink it the less I like it. But still good choice for the eveni g

3.4 330 ml bottle. Dark orange colour with white stable creamy head. Aroma of caramel, sweet,floral. Taste of pine, tropical fruits, herbs, semi-sweet. Long hoppy finish and bitter aftertaste. In bottle is more aromatic. High level of IPA style in Slovakia.

3.3 On tap, Nervosa. Clear amber colour with stable white head. Aroma mostly hops, pine, lemon, lemon zest. Taste is hop, lemon, malty sweetness, alcohol. High, yet pleasant bitterness. Not bad.

3.6 Color bronce anaranjado ligeramente turbio, media corona de espuma de baja retención, aromas a malta, ligero lúpulo y caramelo, flores y corteza de pan; en boca entrada media con bajo amargor, notas terrosas, fuerte base de malta, resulta poco amarga para ser una ipa, cuerpo pleno y carbónico medio, pos gusto seco con amargor final que persiste, cerveza bien conseguida y fácil de beber.

3.6 Bottle @ home. Darker amber coulour with a small, beige head. Nose of caramel, bread. Taste is medium to heavy bitternes with low carbonation with a long, bitter finish. You can barely feel anything else. If you like bitter beers, go for it, but otherwise skip it.

3.9 Copper colored with low but persistent head. Bubblegum, flowers and tropical fruits in aroma. Slight hint of sewers. Some honey too. Medium to high bitterness and same goes for sweetness. It’s pretty well balanced. Medium to high carbonation. Smooth, medium to full body.

3.9 Thank you to McTapps. Smooth floral beginning. Fresh, intense hops. Pine, fruit. Great body, not too sweet with hints of malt and caramel. Great hops, great bouquet. Nice slightly bitter aftertaste. Great.

3.5 Niezłe piwo. Aromat grefrutowy, żywiczny i miodowy z lekkimi herbatnikami. Porządna baza słodowa w smaku i obfita piana w wyglądzie. Nie ma co prawda dużej goryczki ale jest fajne bo nie męczy i jest bardzo pijalne, co może być zgubą przy 6.6% :)

3.8 .25l pour from tap in Bratislava. Nice head, dark orange, hazy. Nose is herby, bitter, and intense. Body is medium and creamy. Taste is bitter, herby, and earthy. Intense hops, but could use a little more balance.

3.8 Fľaša 0,5 l z 1. pivotéky v Nitre aj 0,5 l čapované na Zoborských slávnostiach v Nitre. Biela hustá pena, citrusová vôňa, zlatá farba. chuť výrazne horkastá, citrusy na konci. Výborné pivo!

2.9 On tap at "na 7.schode", Zilina. Pours is cloudy amber with medium white head. Aroma is hoppy, piney, bread, toasty and floral, something unpleasant in aroma, soury basement notes... Taste is medium bitter, piney, resin notes. I had this beer few times before and i think it was different.

3.8 Szép, a karakteréhez ill? mély barna szín. Keser?, mint ahogyan az adja. Nem okozott különösebb AHA érzést, de nagyon jól sikerült ital.

2.1 0,5 l flaša kupena priamo v pivovare Kaltenecker v Rožňave. Na slovenske pomery dosť dobra uvarena IPA. Aroma dosť uspokojiva. Vzhlad prijemna. Chuť chmelovo ovocna,dobre pivo.
