Casked (as Chimera IPA, 6.7%). Honeyish golden colour with foamy white, longlasting head. Aroma is honey, nectar, hops and slight earthyness. Flavour is enormously flowery hops balanced up with some honey and spices. Spices and grass mainly dominate the aftertaste. A very pleasant one.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: MAY 17, 2010 2010-05-16, cask at Charlie’s Pub, Copenhagen, 6.8% ABV, 6-4-7-4-14=35
Hazy blond color; small foamy head, persistent. Initially there is a hint of citrusy hops, followed by light yeast and dirty water. Smooth mouthfeel; sweetish malt and toffee flavor, quite earthy; delicate, citrusy hops create a good bitterness level. Maybe a real IPA... Pleasant

Clean deep blond color. Quite hoppy aroma, light manure in the beginning. Good caramel flavor, a bit harsh, with a prepotent hopping. Interesting.
