One of the best or even the best beer that I’ve tried in my life. Unfortunately the only IPA in Poland. Aroma: hops, resin, citrus & herbs...and hops. Did I mention hops? Color: amber, red, quite clear Head: small frothy Taste: light sweetness, very bitter, lightly sour Palate: light body, slick feel, average carbonation, bitter, long finish

UPDATED: SEP 2, 2012 The real best Polish Hop Beer. Aroma: hay, toast, herbs, floral, leather, ginger, raisin. Apperance: pale, hazy, white foam. Taste: light sweetness, very bitter, medium sourness. Palete: full body, slick feel, flat, bitter.

This is definitely the best Polish beer I’ve tasted so far, it’s a shame it’s the only AIPA brewed commercially in Poland at this moment. Brown color with a small yet very durable white head. Smell is pine, resin, citrus, light carmel, strawberries and a tropical mixture with maracuja, plus some creamy vanilla. Taste is expectedly very hopppy and fruity. Tropical fruits and strawberries upfront and piney-resin-citrusy bitterness in the back, quite intensive and long lasting. Some caramel, grain and herbs in the background. Low carbonation. Awesome.

UPDATED: AUG 14, 2012 50cl bottle. Filtered, brown liquid with small to medium dirty head. Nose : tart with notes of alcohol, little coffee, strong pine and pomelo notes. Typical IPA for the moment. Nose : low to medium density with fluffy, creamy and a bit oily texture. The carbonation is fair but still carbonates in throat which is a downer. Sweet tart with pronounced pine, citrus zest, grapefruit juice aftertaste. It’s mild compared to some extreme IPA but is delicious and I understand why this is a flag polish modern brewing beer. Well done to my polish folks and extra points for that !

Red/amber in color. Citrus aromas (grapefruit, pineapple + resin). I think the color is one of the biggest advantages. It’s really intense red and looks great in a shaker glass. This is one of the best Polish AIPA’s I’ve tried. The flavor could be better, though. I guess it hass to much melanoidin malts and tastes a bit too bready/caramel. Overall it’s a very good beer and it looks awesome so if you have the chance - try it!

Aroma: citrus, a little floral, some caramel; Appearance: amberish gold, clear, big long-lasting off-white foam; Taste: bitter in enjoyable citrus way, faint light sweetness; Palate: medium body, a little creamy, soft carbonation, long bitter finish. Overall: Great IPA! Plain and simple.

Pint from Omertà, hand pulled pump. Super fresh, hoppy aromatic, good session beer.

bottle, many thanks to Schroppfy! Hazy pale golden yellow, large white head. Lovely hoppy aroma, citrusy and resiny. Full-bodied, solid malty base complements the intensive citrus hops flavours with hints of resine and grass. Very well balanced, well crafted, smooth and delicious IPA. Superb stuff.

Amber colour with a fine off white head. Rich grape nose With some fruity and caramel malt notes. Full body and a nice texture. Nice caramel malt background with a nice grape hoppy flavour in front. Light fruity. Solid polish handwork.
[Bottle from Małe Piwo in Warszawa, Poland]

(cask) pours a clear deep amber colour with a creamy off-white head. aroma of caramel, strawberries, some very light butter, herbal hops and a hint of physalis and kiwi. flavour is mostly the same, with notes of caramel, banana, toffee and a herbal-hoppy light-bitter finish medium-bodied with soft carbonation.
