Pours clean copper with an ok off-white head. Aromas of paler stone fruits and floral hop. Medium body with mild frothy carbonation. Flavor is a bit peach or apricot. Finishes lush and decently bitter. Rather floral.

On tap at ’t Arendsnest. Hazy amber colour with a rich, almost yellowish head. Rich grassy and fruity hop aroma. Good bitter flavours with some balance provided by biscuity maltiness. Quite full-bodied. Nice.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very good & thick amber-cream head, fed by lively carbonation in reddish amber beer. Cakey malts, dry malt and indeed very dried hops. As to Amarillo??? Hoppy, quite bitter flavour, but quite "noble" impression, and some good malts, but sweetness does not surface. Maybe some burnt cake- or pizzabottom. Dry, nearly dry-out effect, well-bodied, and slighlty creamy MF. Balance is quite OK, but I miss the citrus- or resinbite of a real USA IIPA. But I applaud the try - in KAMPERLAND, of all outback holes, by Jove!

Bottle 33 cl. Pours amber with a small white head and a hoppy aroma with hints of apples. The taste is bitter with lots of hops, olive-oil, spices, herbs and some alcohol. A longlasting hoppy finish to end it all makes this a very good beer.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from Bierkoning. Amber body with lasting head. Hoppy nose. Oily texture. Nice taste of toffee, caramel, sweetbread. Hops and pine in the finish. Quite good actually. Not as hoppy as I expected.

Bottle. Orange brown color, cloudy. Pineapple and melon in the aroma. Full bodied. Oily hopbitter peppery flavor with ontbijtkoek (spiced Dutch breakfast cake) and melon. Notes of alcohol. Long oily hopbitter aftretaste. Well made DIPA, Emelisse didn’t forget the power, but went for balance.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
@ KBC festival ’s-Hertogenbosch. A hazy golden colored beer, with a thick foamy off-white head. The aroma is very hoppy with a lot of fruits like citrus and orange. The taste is hop bitter with fruits, some sweets, with notes of alcohol. The aftertaste is bitter. A great beer.
