3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Beershine (4741) - The Sunshine State, USA - JUL 29, 2011
Bottle, thank you DSG! Murky red-brown color with a tight cap. Crystal malts in the aroma with fuzzy, dense hops. Fruity with rip nectarine nectar. Chewy bready malts. Finishes a little thin but is correspondingly refreshing and crisp.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 kerenmk (414) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - FEB 19, 2012
Light grapefruit and skunky aroma, light bitterness. Oily texture, light carbonation, light body. This is a pretty good IPA, I drank it several times prior to rating, but I think that something was wrong in the tap. Will be re-rated.

Draught during the release party at Shtern 1. Hazy amber with a medium off-white head. Citrusy hoppy aroma with some biscuity malt. Flavor starts sweetish and malt with caramel and biscuits and continues with nice bitter grapefruity hoppy finish. Medium-bodied and smooth. A good balanced IPA.
