Color ámbar, turbidez media, dos de espuma cremosa con buena retención. Aroma y gusto en la misma linea a cereales y lúpulos ingleses, sin mucha intensidad. Ligero amargor al final del trago. Una british IPA clásica, correcta en su estilo, sin mucho más que aportar, ideal para un día lluvioso y frío.
Lätt orange, dimmig. Fruktig arom med anslag av tallbarr. Smak av grapefrukt med lite ljus kola. Hyfsad beska på slutet.
Hazy blond with lacy egg white head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of floral hop notes. Balanced level of bitterness. Also background of citrusy lemon peel. Really full bodied. Strong malt backbone.
Ok english ipa, nice, not too aromatic (it was old) its OK wr
Hazy golden color with a nice long lasting head. Aroma sweet and fruity with pineapple notes. Taste bitter and fruity, balanced and full. Very nice beer, and a good lower- alcohol option (as oppose to the 7%+ of many modern IPAs)
citrus aroma, hazy brown/orange appearance with long lasting white head. Refreshing crisp taste with nice long bitter finish. Would definitely buy again.
Half pint from keg at the taproom. Hoppy, malty, and floral, with a bitter finish
Cerveza buena, me gustó bastante aunque alguno los lúpulos no sea de mis preferidos esta rica, recuerda a las ipas de antaño pero con menos amargor y algo más suavidad por el trigo, para repetir
Birra con riflessi ambrati è leggermente corposa.
Schiuma bianca e fine, molto aromatica con odori fruttati.
Sapore con attacco morbido e finale molto luppolato.
Birra leggermente sbilanciata sul luppolato.
Canned 0,33L. Hazy dirty yellow dark color, nearly orange with creamy head of long duration. Fresh pine and citrusy aroma, notes of yeast, fruity, citrusy fruit, soft cortex. Moderate fruity and citrusy taste, equilibrate and pleasant alcoholic palate, prickly mouth with good and long sweet/bitter final. Nothing bad for canned beer.
Empty, some malt and peach, not interesting at all. Cloudy golden color with small sized creamy white head. Some bubblegum and candy in taste, but mostly boring. Thin body, average carbonation.
Decent white foam and cloudy yellow body. Good balanced aroma between malt and hop. Flavour is crisp maltiness that has some hop mentions. A nice balanced brew that I could get into.

Vom Zapfhahn. Zunächst interessanter, dezent rosig-seifiger Duft, welcher durch den ersten Schluck angenehm bestätigt wird. Dann nimmt die Intensität unerwartet zu und wirkt nicht wirklich rund.
drinkable but not a hop to rally around as the only hop.lcbo online. ok to try.
Can watching Leicester beat Peterborough (now at 1-3), 27/01/18.
Hazed orange golden with a decent off white cap.
Nose is bitter orange, straw, toasted grains, grass, mineral notes, light pine.
Taste comprises orange pith, chalky minerals, light spice, citric tinged straw, grass, light caramel.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close splashed with dusty hop bitterness.
OK English stylee IPA but a touch overly minerally and overly astringent on the bitterness front.
On tap at Craft Room, Zagreb. Hazy dark orange, medium white head. Caramel, nutty?, malty, very wierd taste, plastic? rubber?. Some fruit. Bonkers. Medium bodied.
0,33l can @ One Pint Pub. Pours clear golden with a medium head. Aroma is fruity malts with resiny hops. Flavor is sweet fruity malts with resiny hops. Good.
Can: Golden, almost clear, medium-sized and quite stable white head; moderate dryish herbal-fruity hoppy nose, some malt underneath; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, nearly medium bodied and pretty soft; lingering bitter-sweet - almost - caramelly and pale-malty finish with a mild "hop-burn" in the aftertaste. No hop-bomb, but a well drinkable english Ale...
On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Orange/golden coloured, small to medium sized off-white head, dusty citrusy nose. Moderate malty, grapefruity hoppy, notes of fruits and touch of alcohol with rather bitter finish. Pretty boring one.
Prominent floral aroma in an golden amber pour. Hop forward balance with a surprisingly malty fruit body and a sustained but laid back finish.
On tap at Craft Room. Murky amber body with an off white head. Intensive strange tropical-rubbery note, interesting and nice most (but not all) of the time. Similar tropical/rubberish hoppy presence, slightly earthy, ending dry and not too bitter. Dunno, this is a bit of a letdown, the hop profile is very much interesting, but not always great. I even feel I'm overrating what I've had slightly. Everyone on the table agreed, this was the least impressive of the six we've had that day, cold or warmer.
Can purchased from Honest Brew. A golden/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, grapefruit aroma. Taste is similar, hoppy, citrus, grapefruit. Quite bitter but not bad.
Ładne, cytrusowo-kwiatowe, trochę ziemiste zapachy. Takie właśnie brytyjskie, może trochę NZ klimaty - to moje pierwsze zetknięcie z chmielem Jester; ciężarem przypomina ten z afrykańskiej Pinty. Goryczka wysoka, troszkę zostaje. Piwo w miarę ciężkawe. Spoko.
33cl can at Pudel, Tallinn. Pours hazy amber with a modest, but lasting head. Fruity aroma with oranges, malt and hints of yeast and herbs. Moderate to medium sweet with pleasant fruity flavours and ditto bitterness. Enjoyable and quite refreshing.
Tap @ Pigalle. Pours hazy whitish orange, white foam. Aroma is fresh, sweetish fruity edge as a base and then some fresh citrus aromas on top. Taste is pretty much as aroma foretells, feels quite light actually, fruity, sweetish and nicely balanced with bitter citrus hops. Citrus is quite strong and really works nicely with this beer, very drinkable and extremely satisfying.
caramel, resin, floral, amber, brown foam, medium sweetness, medium bitterness,
. 33l can @Harry’s. Pours clouy with medium, thick white head. Aroma is pine needle, resin, malts, sauna sweat, hops and citrus. Dry. Flavor is mostly same. Dry. Great!
Pours a hazy yellow with no real head. Aroma of grapefruit, juicy fruit. Flavour is grapefruit and not a lot else, white pepper and resin. Some pleasant cereal and malty, but the the after taste too bitter and soapy for my liking. Not one for meL there are much nicer Moor beers
Can bought at - not ironically - De Moor Drankencentrale somewhere in rural Flanders... Moor, originally a very traditionally English brewery revived by an American in 2007, tends to excel in uplifting English traditions and updating them to the new craft beer era whilst still retaining their roots, not unlike Senne’s, Struise’s or Dochter van de Korenaar’s approach in Belgium, and here’s an interesting concept within that particular policy: the name suggests an attempt to ’make IPA English again’ so to speak, evoking its bygone days of glory during the height of the British Empire, but doing so by using Jester hops - the only English-bred hop variety with a New World character, so much so that it derives its name from the fact that initially, brewers and tasters alike could not believe it to be English... Very thick, foamy, utterly frothy head of irregular structure and egg-white colour, dense and stable and leaving behind thick patches of textbook cobweb - almost ’Belgian’ lacing; immediately completely hazy peach blonde colour with ochre-ish tinge. The aroma indeed breathes a strong, intoxicating New World hops perfume, with the same ’lushness’ and exotic traits that you’ll find in any contemporary American IPA; I get freshly squeezed orange juice, ripe starfruit, lots of lychee, underripe mango, raw red bell peppers, pine-scented soap, quite a lot of moist white pepper but also delicately fragrant jasmin blossoms, dried grapefruit peel and hints of green melon, minerals, bread crumbs, lemon cake, lavender and even hand soap, violets. Vividly fruity onset, sweetish and sourish with hints of raw pineapple, lychee, ripe apricots and Cape gooseberries, soda-like fizz on the tongue, bit minerally and further souring, perhaps a tad too sharp for the style, but otherwise agreeable, smooth, very lightly soapy mouthfeel. Light cereally malt middle, a tad bread crust-like but only distantly so, with the soapiness increasing towards a long, resinous, oily, tonic water-ish hop finish, leaving behind a thorough, leafy, grapefruity bitterness long after swallowing; retronasally, the citrusy (especially grapefruity) effects rise up quite strongly, with floral and eventually even quite piney, almost Columbus-like effects. Peppery and minerally flavours meanwhile stick to the root of the tongue and a softer orange juice effect keeps lingering in the nose for a few seconds after that. Mission accomplished I reckon: brewed with English ingredients including the Jester hops, but 21st-century craft IPA (read: American style) in all respects. High in drinkability even though it seems a bit overcarbonated, pleasantly but quite thoroughly bittering and surely appetizing, this beer understands its own purpose very well. Makes me look forward to further exploring the other Moor beers I bought at the same store.
