33cl bottle at Scout Club Irish Pub, Samobor. Pours hazy orange with an off-white head. Hoppy aroma with lots of pine, some citrus, malt and hints of tropical fruits. Sweet, piney and fruity with a nice bitterness. Bitter aftertaste with notes of grapefruit. Nice and decent IPA, but not as good as I remember it from Italy. It was probably fresher when I tried it in Bologna, and the large bottle is much nice than the small ones. Still a nice and decent IPA that I wouldn’t mind drinking more of. (2013-05-19)

Color biondo carico con soffice strato di schiuma bianca piuttosto persistente. Aroma fresco e avvolgente con sentori di mango, ananas, pesche e agrumi vari; al palato ottimo bilancio dolce-amaro con note luppolate, fruttate e caramellate, finale amarognolo e molto persistente. Corpo medio-lieve, frizzantina, beverina, piacevole e dissetante. Molto buona!

330ml bottle, pours clear golden brown with a very big foamy head, lively carbonation. Aroma is a balance of orange citrus hops, with some spiciness and a long pleasant finish with a perfect balance of sweet malt and bitter hop. Excellent again from this brewery.

750ml bottle from Archive Beer Boutique. Well carbonated with a big pillow of deep fluffy foam. Hops fills the nose, resinous, fruity and delightful. Good strong body with a aftertaste that goes on and on. Another great Italian beer.

Bottle at eataly. Pours a cloudy orange. Nice full aroma, citrus and pine. Nice retained head, with a very well balanced bitterness. Really enjoyed this beer.

Slightly cloudy orange, a good sized head. Lovely smell of grassy citrus hops with some exotic fruit. Same at the taste, but misses some boost for me. A bit sad, could be great. Still very good.
