4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20Fantastic. The bitterness of the hops is masked almost perfectly. Strong tropical aroma, wonderfully rounded taste. Delivers the fruitiness and the punch you expect, but without the heaviness of other IPAs. Not tiring at all. A masterfully balanced beer.
2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
A - Pours a hazy golden orange with 1.5 finger white head. Stellar retention with loads of lacing from top to bottom.
S - Floral, buttery biscuits, cheesy sulphur yeast, lemon zest. Cheese dominates as it warms.
T - Floral hops with a buttery pale malt. Lemon zest starts opening up with a spicy bitterness. The buttery cracker pale malt is a strange mix with the lemon rind hops. Crisp finish with some lemon and leafy hop bitterness lingering.
M - Moderate carbonation, full side of medium body.
Great looking beer! A cracker based pale malt with lots of leafy and lemon zest hops. The light buttery flavor didn’t help. It almost has a lager yeast character. Different but the perfume/lemon hops seems forced on top of the simple pale malt.

3.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Gold, thin bubbly white head; lovely hoppy, tropical fruit aroma; hops dominate the flavour - some lemon, some grapefruit; dusty, dry finish; nice enough, but disappointing not to find the anticipated Jaipur-like amazingness from one of the seemingly touchstone beers of the British craft beer explosion.

Bottled 330ml. -from www.beershop.hr, Zagreb. Clear to darker golden coloured, medium sized off-white head, aromatic grapefruity nose. Moderate malty, fruity hoppy, mild caramel and some spices with mild bitterness in the finish. Pleasant brew.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
330ml bottle. Pours amber with only a slight haze, moderate white head. Aroma is bready malt and pine and grapefruit hops. Taste is pretty much the same, maybe a little earthy in there too. Body was a little thinner than I was expecting, but not too light. Overall, this was pretty much text book IPA. Nothing especially unique, just hit all the right notes.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at home 20/5 2013. Opaque orange, with a big white head. Hoppy aroma, with some grapefruit, citrus, grass and some sweetness. A clear hoppy taste, that lingers. At the price it is amazing.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Blonde dorée légèrement trouble, quasi-asence de pétillance, mousse presque inexistante. Bien houblonnée et épicée, caramélisée, arrière-goût fruité, un rien de douceur, petite sécheresse sur la fin. Première IPA pour moi, merci au boss du Malting Pot de me l’avoir fait découvir.

3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
5.6% 330ml bottle into a tumbler. Pours a clear golden colour with light carbonation and a quickly dissipating head. Floral notes and citrus aroma after the pour with the suggestion of a hoppy punch forthcoming. Doesn’t deliver the kind of hoppiness I was anticipating; more light and crisp with a bit of a bitter back end. Quite pleasant!
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Clear orange color with small and quickly dissappearing head. Powerful aroma of bunch of citrus: passionfruit, mango and grapefruit. Incredible! Taste is also citrus and completed by malty sweetness perfectly balanced strong bitterness. Finish is long and really bitter. Fantastic example of IPA.
