Sample at Borefts Beer Festival 2010. Pours a hazy and orange beer with a weak offwhite head. The aroma is malt, some caramel and hops with citrus and peach. The flavor is malt and hops with citrus and peach. The palate is bitterness. Overall a good beer just above average.

Small beige head. Clear amber body with light carbonation. Tropical fruit and peaches aroma with strawy resiny notes. Dry-sweet caramelly resiny notes. Dry-sweet caramelly resiny taste with tropical fruit and strawberry notes. Fullish body. Mild, mealy mouthfeel. Dry resiny tropical fruit aftertaste with caramel and straw notes. (0.33l bottle shared by Ole_R.)

Hides the alcohol well. Nicely hopped nose. Simcoe is noticeable. Taste is a bit mild given the abv. Consider this a ’drinkable’ imperial ipa. TAP at AMCA (Madrid).

Bottle shared by OleR. Glowing amber. Bittersweet, intense. Peaches, mint, pine.

Die Schaumkrone hält mittelmäßig-gut, farblich ist das Bier bräunlich-gelbrot. Es riecht sehr alkoholisch-fruchtig, die fruchtigkeit geht in richtung citrus. Geschmacklich ist es sehr hopfig-bitter mit etwas citrusgeschmack, nach den ersten Schlucken ist es nicht mehr so bitter aber dafür hat es eine schleimige Konsistenz der Mund ist nach dem Schlucken genauso trocken wie davor, kurios! Das spätere Aroma, ist eher süßliche und schleimige mit etwas hopfigkeit die vorallem im Nachgeschmack bitter ist, finde ich nicht so spannend, der Beginn war besser. Fazit: Ein relativ gutes Bier, für den Preis gibt es aber deutlich besseres. Interessant, speziell aber ich würde es nicht nochmal kaufen. Test vom 5.1.2011, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,10,8,9,10,10 - 9,65

On tap at Haand beer festival 2012. Golden colour with a medium big white head. Aroma is hoppy and laden with tropical fruits, but there is also a good mix of malts in there as well. Flavour is very bitter and laden with hops. Notes of tropical fruits, some malts and alcohol.

Clear amber with a big off whtie head. Aroma is pine and belgian yeast with some spice. Booze, yeast and citrus taste, really sweet malt. I’m not into this one.

This beer style remind me Brewdog Hardcore but less tropical, more malty with a very nice powerful finish. Less hops thus less bitterness in aftertaste too. Well hidden 10%ABV make this a very dangerous beer !
