Really undrinkable. A big, unbalanced, dry bitterness all the way. Kills all the flavours.

Pineish, somecitrus. Rubar. A bit of caramel. Harsh, a bit thinnish. Malts, some green hop flavor. A bit thin, but bitter, us-style ipa. Palate cleanser.

-- bb/h(n9)

Awesome bitterness. Golden colour. Smell of hops. Amber colour, creamy head. Aroma of hops and spruce.

Botella. Buena presencia dorada oscura con corona blanca, densa y persistente. Aroma cítrico y tropical predominando sobre resto de aromas. En boca es descompensada muy amarga, y notas licorosas que para nada tienen que ver con los grados y tiene un agradable final

Bottled. Orange colour with an off-white head. Aroma is hoppy, notes of resins and pine. Flavor has a decent bitterness at the beginning with citrus and floral hops present; the final is strong bittery, very uncompensated and very dry on palate with a very high astringency.

Chmielna klasa. Jeszcze tak gozkiego piwa to nie pilem. Aromat wiadomo chmielowy lekko cytrusowy, zywiczny i trawiasty. Smak chmiel i chmiel tylko. Dominuje wlasnie ten skladnik, finisz jakze mialo by byc inaczej gorycz niesamowita. Przy takim nachmieleniu po prostu wlosy staja deba.

From Bird of Paradise Liquors, obviously. Did not realize this was retired. I imagine it’s lost a few hundred IBUs over the...time. Huge head. Starts out watery, turns brutally bitter, which is fine by me. Still lots of hops in this, though they do feel aged. Reminds me of a DFH 120 minute IPA, even the booziness a bit. Weirdz.

330 ml bottle, rated from backlog. Nose with flowery piney hops with some toasted bread and caramel hidden behind this hop wall. Taste is harsh and insanely hoppy. Unbalanced and not very pleasant to drink. Fun idea thou, as always.

330 ml. bottle. B.B. 2013-12-12. Slightly hazy, amber colour with a golden tint, big bubbly off-white head. Fruity aroma with citrus, grass and floral hops. Light caramel malts. Taste is heavy bitter. Light to medium body, thin texture, average carbonation. Finishes long lasting bitter with lots of hops. Lacks malts and body really serious - this beer was an experiment - so no surprise. Unbalanced, but hoppy...

33cl bottle. Pillowy medium off-white head atop lightly hazed amber body, nice lacing. Aroma is moderately sweet, grapefruit/pine, some bread, light spicy/rye. Taste is moderately sweet, astringent pine, light spicy. Not readily drinkable, which kind of defeats the purpose of an APA. Light-medium body, light acidity.
