3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a cloudy dark amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is weak but a little but jammy initially. The flavour is medium to week bitter, fruity and with a little grapefruit sourness in the finish. Not a traditional IPA.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Jan Tore, Pours dark golden with a big frothy off-white head. Aroma of fruits, peach. Taste is smooth light sweet red ripe berries, nice fruity hops at the end, good one.
This iaste is somewhat richer. A hop showcase, but that doesn’t necessarily make a kick ass beer. (33cl bottle traded with Maarten, thanks!)
1.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
UPDATED: FEB 18, 2013 2/II/13 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: I/2014 (2013-125) Thanks to Martinus for sharing the bottle!
Bit cloudy reddish amber beer, big off-white aery head, unstable, bit adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: bit sweet, sugary, little chemical, pain, fruity touch. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very sour, infection detected, for sure! Zure sloot, gatverdamme! Lemony as well. Aftertaste: sour, lemony, pretty bad!
2.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
Hazy amber colour, off-white head. Aroma of fruit, fruit syrup, hops, citrus and pineapple. Sour flavour, unbalanced bitter, infected. Bitter sour finish, rain water.
Yep, we have an infected bottle. A shame, as the aroma (and the praotnat cascade version) was quite promissing.
(From 33cL bottle shared @ Kasper’s residence, Gent. Shared with his fine and outstanding staff. Bottle from trade with MaartenRF10. Thanks)

via trade met MaartenRF10, nog bedankt !
amber/oranje van kleur, met gigantische schuimkraag.
aroma: citrus, grapefruit, fruit, mout, hop, sinasappel

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
This Willamette version looks similar, with frothy big light tan head. This is also very fruity in aroma, bit more peach and sticky than the tropical fruits of the Cascade only version. Taste is somewhat richer. A hop showcase, but that doesn’t necessarily make a kick ass beer. (33cl bottle traded with Maarten, thanks!)
