(Bottle, 0.33 l, at Pikkulintu, 20110820) The beer poured amber and quite clear. Its head was small and white. Arom had exotic fruits, pine and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were hops, sweetness, malts, pine and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A bit too sweet but pleasant balance with heavy hoppiness and other ingredients.

Bottled@Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is bready malts, some floral and fruity notes as well as mild herbal notes. Flavour is bready malts, rather floral and fruity hoppyness along with some herbal notes. Wellbalanced and hides the ABV rather well.

(Bottled, rated 2011-08-19) Murky orange-brown with a tiny head. Some exotic fruitiness in the nose, with lots of raspberry, some wortiness. Sweetish-caramely maltiness in the flavor, warming but soft alcohol, British-US hops, grassiness and wood. Quite full body, low CO2. A drinkable, but slightly stuffy-worty, and too British-influenced DIPA. Needs more (exotic) fruit.

330 ml bottle. Finland.
Hazy orange brown colour with tiny off-white head. Lots of sediment. Smooth bitter piney and fruity aroma. Malty balance, not aggressive. Bitter dark piney resiny grapefruity and very bitter flavour with strong maltiness. Balanced. Very strong bitter grapefruity aftertaste. Smooth and successful DIPA.

33 cl bottle @ Olutravintola Konttori, BBE 02.02.2012
Aroma is a bit stale with kiwi, grapefruit and some unpleasant sewer notes. Starts as thin but gets more thicker at the end. Flavour is a bit weird and stale for a dipa, it has exotic fruits, hops and some glue. Not good.
