33cl can courtesy of Allen, merci maat! - A DIPA by a Ticino-Swiss brewery going by Bad Attitude Dude and containing Centennial, Simcoe and Chinook...this could go either way. - Pours a deep dark orange with good adhesive foam. Simcoe on the nose, immediately apparent, pine and some burnt rubber/cat pee. Palate is initially pleasantly full, but then also quickly gluey and oily. Sweet, honey malts providing good backing to back up the blow of these potent bittering and aroma hops. Rather apparent alcohol fumes, with buttery notes coming to the fore as it warms. This, in addition to Simcoe, always give my stomach a hard time. That is more than just an attitude and just uncouth...dude.

Tap ( Viisi Pennia, Helsinki ) < br > Nice deep woody red, huge rocky head. Big fruity caramelly aroma. Smells like it might be sticky. Relatively mild palate, soft and smooth, carbonation quite refreshing. Tons of caramel in the taste. Absolutely classic US style sweet strong hoppy IPA. Tons of sweet aromatic hops, but a good level of bitter hops too. Maybe a little bit too sweet and sticky, but drinkability high. Alas some alcohol appears later as it warms. Still remains highly drinkable.

Draught @ GEIB, Grande Esposizione Italiane della Birra 2012, Nuova Fiera di Roma, via Portuense 1645, Rome, Italy 00100.

Draught @ Viisi Penniä, Helsinki

Pours reddish orange with a smooth head. Aroma of sweetish floral hops, caramel and hay notes. Taste is smooth, stingy and caramely with dry bitterness and hints of floral hops. Finish is smooth and sweetish with surprisingly smooth hop bite. Quite nicely hopped, but a bit light bodied IPA.

Tap. Reddish almost. Nose has piny hops, red berries (slightly candy-like), caramel. Body is quite dry and bitter, but doesn’t feel harsh, quite filling actually. Pine needles, some earthyness, dark caramel. Berries in finish. Quite an alright IPA, lots of flavour. Is a bit rough around the edges, some leafyness in the hops. But easily drunk nontheless.

Draught. Pours amber in color with a thick and creamy head, leaving a nice lacing on the glass. Fruity, some pine and a bit nutty in aroma. Smooth. Some pine and a bit of toffee like sweetness in taste. A bit nutty with some lemon notes in aftertaste and has some sweetness in finish.

Thankfully i opened this over the sink, which is actually very rare - exploded. Tons of foamy head but it sand and laced very nicely. Lacked a strong aroma, didn’t even really pick up the simcoe. Taste is pretty nice of sweet caramel and grassy hops. Some graininess, and some orange citrus. Not bad by any means, not very stand out either.

Bottled (thanks Bov!). Deep ambery brown colour, small beige head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, quite big fruity and grassy notes. Flavour is fruity, grassy, toffeeish with some mild bitterness as well. Balanced and nice.

Draught at "GolosItalia 2013" - Brescia.
Orange clear color, good head resistance and little fraught and foamy head. Bitter abd hoppy aroma, notes of cortex, wood and red resin. Casked and aged flowery notes, very arid bitter final with a pleasant alcoholic perception.
