3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 luttonm (963) - Belgrade, SERBIA - APR 25, 2012
Draft at Csak a Jó Sör ("Only Good Beer") in Budapest. So glad I got to try this, thanks to Armando for making it all happen. Very nice, strong IPA. Golden orange, hop forward and relatively fresh. Orange, citrus. Restraining balance, some nice soapyness and a bit wattery. I think it could use a slight step forward or back (stronger body or back off the hops a touch). But really fantastic, stand-out local IPA. Wish I had more of it around, and closer. Looking forward to the other beers this team is putting together
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 Thomasalias (170) - Budapest, HUNGARY - APR 22, 2012
On tap at Csakajósör, Budapest. Beautiful, cloudy, orange color with durable, medium, creamy, white head. Dry, bitter hoppy aroma with citrus, herbs and spices, a little flower and resin. I can feel the real character of the hops, but a smooth malty flavour also appears. Heavy bitter taste. Medium body with creamy texture and average carbonation. Hoppy, spicy finish with some malt. This is a very good IPA, I like the aroma and the palate the most. It’s clearly the Best Beer of Hungary, I’m sure! When I first tasted it, it was the first IPA for me. That’s why this beer is the definition of the IPA for me. This made me a lover of IPAs and hops.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20 pif (11) - HUNGARY - NOV 14, 2011
Csakajósör bolt, Armando Otchoa. Gyönyörű narancsszín, és remek citrusos - nem túl szúrós, hanem inkább szárazan elegáns, főleg ez a második főzet - illat. Grapefruit, mandarin. Enyhe muskotályos édesség, trópusi citrusos gyümölcsíz - köszönhetően a Cascade-nak, és utóízében ott a markánsan izmos, de mégis gyönyörűen komponált keserűsége a Chinook komlónak. Remek sör!
