ZBF Festival 2013 - Hazy, pale blond appearance. Flavour is well balanced and has a rounded maltiness to it and feels a bit creamy. Some lighter hoppy citrus notes come through at the end.

Draught Small white head over fully hazy yellow beer. Hoppy nose, announcing bitterness, but not in a very refined way. Crude bitterness, overpowering and even metallic; raw vegetables. Hint at ureum. Finish is pure raw bitterness; astringent even. Medium bodied, not very well-bodied. Ladies, I’m sure you can do better. Try to be less "Belgian" and more geeky - hops aren’t everything.

Dark blond beer with a small white head. Hoppy flower aroma. Nice fruity hoppy bitter flavors. A bit spicy too. Dry bitter finish.

Bottle at Gainsbar, Kortrijk, 22/03/13. Split with Leighton and Bruce. Lightly hazed golden amber with a thin off white head that retains well. Nose carries fresh hops, orange peel, fruits, light yeast. Taste comprises orange, light floral notes, touch of yeast, citrus, light tropical fruits, spice, grass. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry finish with a touch of bitterness. Decent stuff.

33cl Bottle at home. Darker blond coloured beer with some medium carbonation and a small white head. Sweeter light herby grassy hoppy hinted aroma. Medium to full palate. Finish is bitter hoppy with a longer herby bitter dry hoppy ending. Not bad.

Bottle: Medium sized thick and slowly disappearing creamy head on top of a muddy yellow colored beer. Holding this beer in front of a lamp does not even let the slightest of light get through... Aromas of hops, citrus, floral, meadow, cream, hint of manure, hop herbs and some resin. Flavours of hops, floral, bitter, cream, plant extracts, some citrus, grass, hay, some malts and pine. Aftertaste is very floral with grass, hops, herbs, bittet and light dry. Low to medium carbo, soft light spicy mouthfeel, A lot more floral than most other IPAs, pretty tasty, easy drinkable, good summer beer! Nice.

Bottle from Birratrovo, Como, bb Oct 2014 batch 615
Beautiful gold copper color with middle sized creamy head. The aroma is grassy first, then a bit fruity, and traces of manure. The mouthfeel is quite smooth and dry; some caramel flavor, but also an accent of vegetables; strong bitterness, with some hop quality but no enthusiasm; ld astringency in the final.
It has some good element, but it’s not fully convincing.

Novetat d’Alvinne. Ipa molt interessant. Aparentment lleugera, però amb un final amarg, equilibrat i persistent. Té un xic de pòsit al final que és millor deixar a l’ampolla. Molt bona.

Oro buona schiuma abbastanza persistente naso erbaceo leggera spezia terroso leggero lievito lieve agrumato resina erbaceo buon amaro piuttosto secca terrosa

Bitter blond beer nice balance with a great bitter aftertaste. The beer is starting with a floral start and a light spicy middle with a hoppy bitter end. Good beer to show the fact that girls have hoppy fun. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone By Belleketels
