On tap at The George and Dragon in Barcelona. Pours a hazed amber colored body with an inch thick, dense, foamy and frothy, beige head that dissipates slowly and leaves a soapy lacing. Aroma is cheesy and oxidized with some caramels, piney citruses, and toast. Flavor is better, but a bit harsh. Some caramels, toasty toffee, grapefruit pine resins, and earth. Finishes dry and fairly harshly bitter before leaving a lengthy aftertaste. Medium body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a pretty harsh amber. Not terrible, but I wasn’t a big fan of this one.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with a medium white head leaving nice lacing. Aroma is some caramel malts, fruity hoppiness, grapefruit and a bit of citrus. Taste is a bit of caramel malts, but mainly bitterness which is a bit astringent. Low to medium carbo, decent body.

abundant light beige head, foam head and with lacing. clear amber colour. aroma of grass, pine and passion fruit. slight sweet taste, passion fruit and pine with a bitter aftertaste that continues moderately. medium carbonation and body. draft @ la tape

Bottled. Clear amber color, short off-white head. Aroma of caramelly and toasted malts, soft fruity hop, bit grapefruit, citrus. Quite bitter taste, some roasty caramel, with a bit astringent edge to the bitterness. The beer is more malty of toast, caramel and a touch of roasted malt and less hop forward than (india) pale ales, though still quite hoppy. Could have a bit more balance and complexity. On one hand, it’s quite strong in aroma and bitter in taste, so good job done in getting a lot of flavor out of the ingredients. On the other hand, the malty and hoppy flavors try to overpower each other instead of creating a perfect match for one another.

De color marrón rojizo. Es demasiado amarga para mí. No pude distinguir mucho del sabor, quizá algo de fruta. No creo que me la vuelva a pedir.

Bottle. amber beer, very refreshing, good hop aroma, touch of malt, very well balanced, very nice finish, with a light touch of bitter.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy amber coloured brew with an pretty dry-bitter taste with some fruitiness and some hints of caramel. This ZZ + is pretty Top.

de barril en bbf, correcta, sin marcas agresivas, en conjuncion aromas y sabores. no es para tanta fama, buena, sin mas. lo mejor de esta casa que he probado junto a la llupol

Draught at the Bar Animal, Madrid, Spain. Cloudy amber colour with a small white head. Grainy malty aroma with some hops and fruitiness. Rather hoppy bitter but also rather sweet caramel malty. Meh.... It's not my favourite. Rather balanced though. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
