Hazy light amber color. The aroma is simple, some malt, some yeast, lightly spicy, a bit earthy. It has a dry mouthfeel, that blends well with a trace of bitter citrus fruits; but besides that the aromatic hops don’t appear as much as they used to. Just ordinary.

Cloudy blond coloir. Vry nice hop aroma, fruity but also harmonious, with oranges and flowers. The body is less malty than expected, nevertheless the mouthfeel is smooth, and it has a good hopping. A well balanced IPA.

Bevuta sia alla spina sia in bottiglia,questa IPA mi da veramente soddisfazione(ma dal maestro Musso non è certo la prima volta!). Colore chiaro.Schiuma bianca molto spessa.In bocca malto e luppolo con note floreali.Un pò amara nel finale.Ottima

Strepitosa nuova birra del Baladin, bevuta alla spina al Duca e poi me la sono presa anche in bottiglia da portare a casa... enorme
