4.1 Bottled 0,33L. Clear orange dirty color, hazy with little sediments presence, good head of long duration, creamy and persistant foam. Very rich and perfumed nose; notes of grapefruit, hop, aged grapes, citrus, very tropical impression. Great warm and soft crisp mout, intence and pleasant alcoholic and sweetish palate, notes of passion fruit, aged flower hop, citric and tropical end. Very agreable and unsual.

4.0 Bottle, January 2017. A slightly petroleum tinged grapefruit juice aroma. Subtle sweetness, formidable bitterness. Citrusy and crisp to the bone - hardly conceivable how much alcohol this quaffer boasts. Subtle bready twist in the finish. Superb!

3.6 Bottle from Torridon Convenience Stores, Catford. Amber/ gold pour with a white head. Aromas of grapefruit, lemon sherbet, bitter hop, lemon. Similar action in the flavour. Sharp, hoppy bite in the finish. Good.

3.7 330ml bottle served in pint glass. Pours a clear golden yellow color forming a small light off white head with medium retention and some lingering lacings formed and left in the glass. Nose is quite skunky. Strong notes of sweet pale malts and grassy and flowery hops. Notes of resin, citrus zest and pine. Grapefruit. Slightly sweet upfront taste that becomes quickly bitter. Good bittersweet balance. Again, strong notes of grapefruit, pale malts, lime zest resin and pine. Medium body and carbonation. Grapefruit, zest and pine in the aftertaste. Good drinkabillity. Great IIPA.

3.7 W aromacie gładka żywica, rodzynki, trochę słodyczy, ale nie karmelowej. W smaku ładne chmiele, trochę cukru. Przyjemne.

3.8 Bottle at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Poured a clear orange amber with a frothy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is malt, tropical citrus fruits, resin pine hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a crisp, fruity, resin hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A superb DIPA. Nicely balanced and the alcohol is well in the background.

3.8 Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Moderate malty and heavy hoppy aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Creamy palate. Nice.

3.7 0.1L on tap at Fakin Bar, Zagreb. Sweet tropical fruit aroma, mango maybe. Hops and some herbs. Light bitter and herbal sweet. Quite pleasing.

3.7 0.1l draught. Clear golden/orange color with nice white head. Aroma of resin, pine, hops, malt, honey and mango. Taste is bitter and sweet.

4.0 Robe blonde orangée, légèrement trouble, fine mousse blanche. Nez de résineux et d'agrumes. Belle amertume en attaque avec des saveurs de pamplemousse et de résineux, quelques notes de fruits tropicaux, miel et caramel. La longueur est très bonne, bonne carbo, corps moyen. Bière de dégustation très agréable.

3.5 Bottle 330 ml from HonestBrew. Aromas are sweet of tropical fruit. Slightly hazy dark golden body. Taste is bitter and quite rich with notes of tropical fruit and grapefruit. Good beer.

3.6 On tap at the Thornbridge Tap Takeover at Fakin Craft Bar, Zagreb, Croatia. Clear golden, medium creamy off-white head. Lightly to moderately hopped, spicey, leaves, resin and light fruity aromas. Moderately bitter. Medium to full body, smooth, warming, moderately lasting dry finish. Although not spectacular nor pompous, it is a very well made, rounded beer, a finished product.

3.6 Keg @El Lúpulo Feroz, Oviedo. 10-09-2017. In short: fruity palate warmer.

3.6 33 cl bottle. BBE 27.06.2018. Pours clear dark golden-copper color with a large white head. Quite piney and resinous hoppy aroma just as described, some caramel notes, malts and tropical fruitiness. Flavor is sweet malty and fruity, mango and passion fruit, resinous hops, mild bitterness. Overall a bit on the sweet side but alcohol is hidden and the hops seem fresh. Better than I expected. 4425

3.9 Bottled. Clear golden pour, modest off-white head. Aroma: pure powerful honey & biscuit malts, strong blossom, minor topical fruit & citrus. Medium body. Soft carbo. Well-balanced taste. Robust maltiness goes along with rich hoppiness. Floral, fruity. Medium bitterness. Very British. Elegant. Good.

3.6 Bottle, 33cl. Clearish golden with small but heavy sediment and a foamy offwhite head. Aromas of fruity hops, resin, caramel. Medium bodied, fizzy carbonation. Smooth and astringent. Medium sweet, lightly bitter. Grassy hoppy flavors into a strong alcohol and roasted acidic finish.

3.6 Bottle, 330ml. A clear amber beer with a small white head. Aroma is of hops and tropical fruits, mainly tangerine and orange. Taste is medium bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Medium bodied with some carbonation. Astrigent and with a nice, slightly alcoholic finish.

4.3 Bottle from Beer Hawk. Cloudy, orange with a very thin head. Aroma of pine and grass. Tastes bitter and piney, crisp with apricot and lemon. Very tasty.

3.8 from Bier-Bienne - pours a quite clear golden-orange beer with a nice head retention; aroma of caramel and oranges; full-bodied, smooth carbonation, a late well-integrated bitterness and a long malty, caramelsih and fruity finish with a lingering spicyness

3.6 Clear deep gold colour with thick medium white foam. Aromas sweet of strong hops, with grapefruit, citrus and tropical fruit notes. Palate, full body with smooth texture leaving strong slightly boozy finish. Taste, sweet of grassy hops, as well as grapefruit notes with slight boozy warming touch. Overall, rather nice stronger tasting beer where alcohol does show but definitely can taste nice fragrant sweet hops. Not bad.

3.5 Nice green herbal nose. Grassy hops, dry and drinkability is definitely good

3.7 Off white frothy head stayed on a translucent, light golden, effervescent body. Hoppy aroma with tropical fruits. Medium bodied, crisp, clean & soft on the palate. Hop forward tastes with bitter pith, floral & a balanced finish

3.5 Drunk from 33cl bottle bought from Bierhuis in Ossett. Enjoyable hoppy IPA.

0.6 This is one of the worst thing I have ever had in my mouth, and I include the time I accidentally ate a slug in a lettuce. It tastes like drain cleaner has been mixed with old lady room fragrance, like Glade but cheaper, maybe a B&M knock off called "blade". Awful. I won’t be able to sleep for days remembering the trauma and horror. Sorry for the short review, I need to call my counsellor.

4.2 Pours hazy golden / amber, medium carbonation, 2 fingers of a soapy head and nice sticky lacing. Aroma of tropical fruits and citrus. Tastes bitter, with a good malty backbone and strong hops with mango, passion fruit, pine and citrus. Rich mouth feel, smooth, soft carbonation, bitter finish. A very nice, well balanced and typical DIPA.

3.9 On tap @ Thornbridge, ’s Hertogenbosch. Although I choose another beer the bartender insisted on me tasting this one as well so he offered a free glass. Oh well... Clear golden with a white head. Hoppy tropical fruit aroma. Taste is bitter with some earthy tones. A very good, mature, imperial IPA. Not extreme in any way but just solid and balanced.

4.0 the aroma is fruity and hoppy with hints of pine, grapefruit, key lime, lemon peel and spicy herbs... the taste is fruity and malty with notes of grapefruit, pine needles, key lime, bitter orange and spicy grasses... bitter and dry aftertaste...

4.0 33cl bottle bought at the brewery and enjoyed at home on 6-Jul-2017. Clear orange amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, citrus and hops. Medium body and carbonation. Taste of grapefruit, orange, sweet malt and floral hops. Bittersweet with a dry hoppy finish. Pretty good.

4.1 Fsoft sweet aroma. Dark yellow colour with fluffy head. Medium sweetness medium bitterness. Finish is a bit too light but nice soft medium body. Nice alternative to overly bitter ipas. Balanced

3.6 Clear, amber, unstable fluffy white head. Aroma: grapefruit, light fruity malty notes. Moderate bitterness, almost dry. Flavour: orange, grapefruit white peel, light malty and bready notes. Good.
