50 cl bottle @ wPBF, BBE 10/2014
Aroma is a bit stuffy with grainy malt and slight fruitiness. Feels like a lager. Flavour is odd with some caramel, nettles and grainy malt. Finishes with mint and herbal notes. Also a feeling of old hops and biscuits. Not very pleasant.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nice clear caramel golden color with a big frothy tan head that leaves some lacing. A mild fine caramel malty and light hoppy aroma. Round fine mild sweet body with a nice bitterness. Oily texture. Fresh and easy drinkable. Maybee a bit more like an apa. Anyway it does not matter much. A fine caramel malty and light grape hoppy flavor. Nice tasty ale.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
500 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a big, lasting creamy off-white head. A bit weak in aroma, mild caramel malt and floral hops. Flavour has light, soft pale malt, fruity and moderate floral and grassy bitterness. Medium body and a decent aftertaste where the bitterness becomes more evident. Not an IPA in my book, more like an American Pale ale.
