Bottle @ home. Aroma is herbal and fruity hops, some spice and malt notes. Flavour is fruity and candylike fruity hop notes. Touch of biscuity malt. Nice.

Bottle @ home. Hazy orange pour, thin white head. Aroma is fruity, floral hops, some resin. Flavor is bitter floral, some pine and quite well balanced. Decent brew.

Bottle from Berts Bierhuis. Hazy dark copper - orange colour, off-white head. Nose is well hopped, with grapefruits and citrus. Flavour is grapefruits, light malty backbone, bit of yeast. Medium carbonation. Very well done.

Clear amber, white head. Nose is sweet floral hops. Taste again floral hops, rather sweet at first, later bitter. Nicely carbonated. Good IPA.

In short: A crisp and super-bitter hop-bomb full of oranges and pine-tree. Simply Wow!
How: Bottle 330ml at Wildeman, Amsterdam </br> The look: Cloudy dark orange body topped by a small white head
In long: Nose is intensely hoppy, plenty of oranges and pine-tree. The aroma is very bright and sharp, it emanates freshness. The type of hoppy nose I could smell forever. Taste is exactly what I expected. Crisp toasted malts, a bit of caramel, lots of fresh oranges, freshly cut pine-tree, intensely bitter, low sweetness sensation. Very clean and crisp. This might be my new favorite Non-North-America IPA. The first and probably the best beer I had in my second visit in Amsterdam, and I love this city, is there a better sensation than being in Amsterdam, the city of acceptance where you don’t have to fear discrimination of any kind regardless of the type of person you are? This can only be topped by the sensation of being an adult heterosexual white male and not having to fear discrimination anywhere.

Bottle 330ml.

Clear medium amber orange yellow colour with a large to huge, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted - caramel, moderate to light heavy hoppy, grass, orange - citrus. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration, riped mandarin, hoppy. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20111211]

Verassend frisse grapefruit en limoen met wat kruid. De smaak zet door met grapefruit, maar ook een beetje turf. Het bittere is prima in balans, en blijft goed hangen. Bier heeft mooie dikkige kraag op donker oranje. In de winter komt bier niet volledig tot zijn recht, meer lente/zomer bier.

Goudgeel van kleur met een mooie kraag die al snel inzakt maar gelukkig niet helemaal verdwijnt. De geur is fris en fruitig. Ik proef duidelijk grapefruit. Vrij bitter van smaak met een droge afdronk. Lange nasmaak van grapefruit. Op een warme zomerdag zal hij ongetwijfeld nog beter smaken maar ik vind ’m nu ook al verrassend!

33cl bottle. Grapefruit aroma. Thin white head. Lovely citrus bitterness. Good beer!

Outstanding aroma of grapefruit and fresh cut grass. Glowing golden color and a thick head. Hops are dominant and bit harsh toward the end.
