3.4 Hazy yellow pour, small bubbly white head. Fruity nose with grapefruit, rhubarb, strawberries, lemony notes. Reminds me of an APA, but rhubarb-ier. Flavor is grapefruit, some malts in there, lemons, rhubarb. Hoppy and rhubary sour finish with lingering grapefruity bitterness. Not getting much in the way of vanilla. Strange, but not undrinkable.

3.5 ça sent et ça goûte tout de même fortement le pamplemousse ! Peut-être un peu court en bouche et pas assez acide ? Joli fruité pointu en attaque; on sent bien la fraise ... Jolie consistance lactée sur fond de fines bulles. Gagne en longueur en se réchauffant dans le verre.. C’est très chouette. Plus généralement, la série Magic Numbers est vraiment épatante !

3.7 33cl shared bottle at home from Kaapse Brouwers, Rotterdam. Body is clear yellow, head is very small, white, fizzy, fully diminishing, no lacing. Nose is tropical fruits, flavor is grapefruit, rhubarb, light strawberry, citric, lemon grass. Medium sweet, light bitter, light fruity sour. Finish is long lasting fruity hoppy medium bittersweet. Medium body, dry texture, soft carbonation. Easy, refreshing lemonadeish summer beer, quite good.

3.3 Flaska pitchers örebro. Disig blekgul kulör utan skun. Doft av av basilika, smultron, tagetes och passionsfrukt. Ganska avslagen munkänsla med lätt fruktsyra. Gräs, hö och örter. Låg beska. Len avslutning

3.7 Très bonne IPA. Elle en annonce plus qu’elle n’en a mais reste très agréable. Le nez est parfait : à part la vanille, tout est là, litchee, lait fraise, rhubarbe, houblon très vert. La bouche est plus classique : petite attaque amère vite dissipée dans une finale sèche et désaltérante. La rhubarbe a la part belle. La vanille est toujours absente. La longueur porte sur le lait fraise et la rhubarbe qui s’equilibrent très bien.

3.4 Bottle. Golden fuzzy pour. Aroma of tart strawberry, wheat and fruity citric hop. Flavor has strawberry, mild vanilla, grassy tardy rhubarb, wheat and tropical hop. Bit thin. Nice.

3.9 duft: citrus appelsin frugt jordbær. smag: frugt lidt jordbær sød appelsin citrus lidt bitter

3.9 Bottle from Voldby. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are rich hops, fruits, flowers, strawberries, malt and has a nice smooth semi bitter finish. Easy drinkable! Pour one more!

3.7 Orange cloudy pour with white head at hair of the dog in Bangkok. Super tangy and fruity. Strawberry dominates. Vanilla and creamy too. Love it

3.1 Sympa, on ressent bien les houblons avec une belle amertume. Par contre je n’ ai pas ressenti la vanille, ni la rhubarbe... Très bien en 1ère bouche, moins funky ensuite. Sécheresse désagréable sur la fin

3.8 Oranje geel goud ondoorzichtig bier met een kleine witte schuim kraag. Ruikt heerlijk fruitig. Rabarber, aardbei, crème. Smaakt bitter, fruitig, aardbei.

4.0 Bottle. Hazy golden color, small white head. Aroma of passionfruit, citrus, hint of strawberry and funk. Taste is light to medium bitter, light sour and dry. Flavor of passionfruit, pomelo, grapefruit. Aftertaste is medium long, light sour and dry, some tartness, citrus zest and pine flavor. Light to medium body, light carbonated.

3.4 330ml bottle from Mikkeller webshop. Yellow gold colour, thin white head and nose of horseblanket, strawberry, vanilla, funk. Flavour is zesty fruity, rhubarb, citrus, and tangy bitter. Light bodied, soft carbonation, dry zesty finish. Quite OK.

3.9 Bue en bouteille de 33cl. Superbe bière au nez fruité et houblonné. Équilibre parfait, belle corpulence et longueur en bouche. Un délice.

3.4 33 cl bottle @ home. Pours cloudy yellow with a white head that leaves a little lacing. Aroma and flavour are flowers, lemons, malt, and berries - with a bitter finish.

3.5 Bottle at home, bought at Bierhalle Deconinck Vichte. Rhubarb, grapefruit, lemon. Very light bitterness, missing some malty roast. Ok as a beer, not an IPA in any way.

4.1 33 cl bottle @ home. Hazy blonde beer with a medium, white head, that vanishes almost instantly, non-adhesive. Aroma is passion fruit, mango, pineapple, citrus. Rather low carbonation. Taste is passion fruit, citrus, sweet start, bit sour. Aftertaste is sour-bitter, pine, grassy. Very nice one, even without the vanilla, rhubarb, strawberries noticeable.

3.3 0.33 l bottle from Sterk Avondverkoop, best before 14/7/2016. Slightly hazy, straw yellow with a thin, fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Sourish-hoppy, fruity aroma of grapefruit, gooseberry, rhubarb and pineapple. Sourish-fruity, slightly bitter taste of grapefruit, rhubarb, pineapple and gooseberry, followed by a long, sourish, medium bitter and very dry finish. Thin to medium body, slightly astringent and spritzy mouthfeel, average carbonation. Not really smoothie-like, more a hoppy sour ale than an IPA, but quite interesting due to the combination of its acidity and hoppy bitterness. Very fruity of course, but also with a very dry finish. Nice, but not my everyday beer.

3.6 Bottle from Kihoskh, Copenhagen - golden yellow pour with white head. Aroma and taste is fruity and hoppy, notes of strawberry and rhubarb with vanilla nuances throughout, nice mouthfeel and solid fruity finish. Very nice.

4.0 Pours a hazed, golden-amber color, with a bubbly small head. Smells very fruit forward, not overly ripe, of grass coated, luscious papaya, tangerine and lemon zest. There is actually a prickly sweet strawberry quality among this foundation, together with orange building up a sweet peak, gently countered by sour lemon peel. Has a lighter body to it, together with a soft, lively carbonation, while finishing with a pleasant fruity dryness, which manages to remain the beers softness to the tongue entirely. Tastes of sour strawberries, orange and lemon, with a sublime dankness to it, smoothing the taste, while bringing the flavors closer together at the same time, resulting in a very fruit focussed ipa. Its focus is quite unique though, due to its prominent unripe strawberry quality, which gets completed by more sour lime and a soft aqueous note. During its finish, the beer adds a pleasant dryness to the still prominent fruits, which shifts the focus a tad more onto the lemon, while crackery malts manage to balance the hop bill. Its softness is one of the beers most outstanding qualities, resulting from a well pronounced aqueous characteristic, while managing to create a convincing hop depth at the same time. Strawberry adds just a minor hint of sweetness to the taste, which is enough to let it stand out on itself, balanced by sour lactose, which then blends into a nice fruity dryness. Focussed and unique.

3.8 Bottle in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours hazy lemon with a thin white head. Really nice fresh grapefruit aroma with some sweet vanilla. The taste starts with tart citrus. The rhubarb, strawberry and vanilla are in there, but very subtle. Light and refreshing. Very nice.

3.3 Tap@ Ølhus København. Pours unclear golden color with a thin white head. Tart fruity, rhubarb, doughy aroma. Flavor has rhubarb, citrus juice, hops. Very juicy, nicely refreshing. Solid fruity beer.

3.8 Tap at Fermentoren Aarhus. Pours a hazy yellow with a big, white head. Aroma has first of all lots of fresh hops. rhubarb, lactose, slight lemon and lime, vanilla, acidic and sweet. Taste is fairly sweet and fruity up front with an extremely velvety texture. Has some acidic citrus, and maybe some strawberry as well. Slightly bitter finish, but it’s fairly little. Smooth body and average carbonation.

3.6 Bottle, thanks for sharing. Pours hazy gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is quite dank with grain and pine supporting. Flavor combines strawberry and grass with a bit of grain and a bit KC rhubarb through the finish.

3.6 Légère, avec des houblons donnant une bonne touche de fruit exotiques (mangues, ananas), en revanche peu amère pour une IPA ! Une légére attaque en bouche sur la fraise. Très rafraîchissante.

3.7 33cl bottle via Beer Gonzo. it pours a hazed pale golden color with medium white head. Aroma is fruity and hoppy, with light strawberry and vanilla sweetness, some citrus peel, tangerine and peaches. Taste is more fruity, lightly sweet, big hops, some tart citrus and vanilla ice cream. Light to medium bodied with good carbonation. Overall, nice one
