Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops, malt, caramel, and dust, leading to a bitter finish.

Small white head. Hazy opaque amber body. Resiny honeyish tropical fruit aroma with herbal notes. Dry-sweet resiny tropical fruit taste with mealy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, mealy mouthfeel. Dry resiny malty aftertaste with grassy spicy herbal orangey notes. Nice, drinkable, and a great aroma. (0.25l draft at ’t Arendsnest, Amsterdam.)

Almost orange coloured beer. Could be a crowning-beer. Small diminishing head. Aroma has fruits citrud apricots . Nice bitter taste. Not the most bitter but thirstquenching. Fruity finish. Nice

Decent IPA, I mostly get some pineapple and peach. Nice bitterness in the first part of the aftertaste, tapers from there on to something muddy. Nice IPA.

Bottle @ home. Orange colour with a medium sized white head. Smells orangepeel, fresh, fruity, hops. Tastes fresh, bitter, hops, fruity, malts. Great thirst quencher, not the hoppiest IPA ever. Medium body, lovely carbo.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with a nice white head leaving good lacing. Aroma is fruity and sweet with mainly grapefruit and some grassy hops as well. Taste starts a bit sweet, but a nice and somewhat grassy bitterness comes in quite quickly. Medium bodied. Finally a beer from De Leckere which is above average, nice!

UPDATED: APR 7, 2013 Pale amber with a thin white, lightly lacy, lasting head. Smells of grapefruit, citrus - orangepeel, caramel and generally fruity overblown grassy hops. Medium frothy sticky body. Tastes of alcohol with grass and some sweet caramel malt, with a dry grapefruit finish. Not bad.

Bottle: Medium to bigger sized, vast and thicker, slowly settling down creamy foamy head on top of a hazy orange colored beer. Aromas of hops, hop fruits, peach, citrus, creamy, some vanilla and creamy malts, some red fruit, hints of floral, sweat, butter and carbo gass. Overall a good creamy smooth fruit hoppy aroma. Flavours of hops, hop bitters, citrus, peach, apricot, grapefruit, floral, herbs, some hints of creamy malts, plant extracts, grass, floral hops and crispy clean bitters that keep growing into a good heighth. Aftertaste is good bitter (hop bitters and grapefruit), hops, herbs and grass, floral and less fruity than in the taste. Low to medium carbo, soft creamy close to silky mouthfeel, very good and more than just a medium body and a creamy texture. I hope they keep brewing this and this reach the supermarket shelves. A fine IPA, which I would like to drink again.

30cl Bottle at De Drie Dorstige Herten. Hazy orange colour, white head. Aroma of diacetyl, grapefruit, Werther’s Original, oranges. Flavour is also somewhat buttery, Werther’s Original, fruity, grapefruit, oranges, some tropical fruit like mango, light buttery bitter finish. Mellow IPA, too bad of the butter, seems like the latest batch has this.
