3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Marko (3612) - Split, CROATIA - DEC 28, 2012
Enormous thanks to heavy for bringing this from Barcelona! Poured an amber-gold body, murky, with a big, slightly off white head. Fresh cloves, fruity maltiness, some jam, bubblegum, more bubblegum, some pine, very nice. The taste is more straightforward than expected, but definitely respectable. An enormous assault of hop bitterness, this definitely feels like 100+IBU, slightly more piney than fruity, but still, yeasty notes, some complex fruity sweetness, not really papaya in my opinion, but hey, I’m hardly the one to say how fermented papaya tastes like. Unlike some double IPA’s I’ve had, this doesn’t drown the hops in the malts, but falls just a bit on the unbalanced side bitterness-wise. All in all, really good. Man I love this new Spanish craft/micro scene! Three different breweries in a row - three damn good beers, every one in its own way.

Creo que esta cerveza viene de la receta de UNDEAD!!!. Un poco más dulce pero igual de amarga. El alcohol ni se nota!!!

UPDATED: APR 17, 2013 330ml bottle. Nice sweet papaya aromas. Pours hazy orange, with creamy white head, thick and persistent, some lacing. Medium body, average carbonation, oily texture. Taste is sweet papaya along with bitter notes, leaning more on the sweet side, with an interesting hot and sweet aftertaste. Delicious. Very enjoyable and remarkable.

This one is a killer, super well balanced, as it is fairly bitter but sweet as well, really easy to drink, tropical fruit forward.
