3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Golden hazy body. Aroma is spicy but very clean. Taste is very bitter, maybe some sweet taste from the malt, but all is killed with the excessive bitterness. Overwhelmed. Interesting experiment.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
I really like the color (bright golden yellow), the body (highly effervescent but slightly oily), and the overall look and feel of this beer, with heavy sedimentation visible in the bottle. The flavor is heavily bitter, but with a touch of butterscotchy dactyl. The aroma is unidimensional - grainy, hoppy (pine, citrus).

Mętne piwo z pływającymi farfoclami. Bardzo żywiczny trawiasty zapach, niestety bez cytrusów, orzeźwiająca goryczka która zostawia posmak.

Bottle. It was supposed to be an ’intercontinental IPA’ I guess, though there are hardly any Czech elements detectable, apart from the mild diacetyl and very subtle maltiness. Apart from that this beer is pure hop juice - peach, citrus, pine, resin and some strawberry. Unfortunately the beer feels very unbalanced, the extreme bitterness wrecks the palate without mercy and that’s basically what the beer is all about. Oh, the hop oils act in some way as a substitute for the malt, creating the illusion that the beer has actually any body. Very nice smell, though not a very palatable beer.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
No head nor carbonation whatsoever on dull, fully hazy orange-amber beer. Sweetish nose, as from fruit- or jam-filled pastry and a faraway smell as from UK-type hops (whereas in fact Czech hops were used). Quite bitter flavour, if grapey; again hoppy as in a strong UK bitter. Finish is watery, certainly for a 7.8% beer. MF is more titillating than the dull, flat appearance would lead to believe. Light to medium body, quite slick. No apparent oxydation, no sourness, yet something’s amiss. As if no carbonation occured during fermentation, or all CO˛ was lost at bottling... Needs to be retried.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Cloudy brown in glass with minimal, quickly disappearing head. Aroma is nice, mainly floral and citrusy (American hops), with slight caramel and smoky note (Czech hops). Tastes definitely lightly sweet and then became very bitter. Beer has full, but thin, body and is kinda flat carbonated (maybe because of bottling). Finish is long and bitter. Overally pretty drinkable, but only one or two at time, it’s fairly strong and bitter.
