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!

Bottle:
Thanks Maarten:
Medium sized head, vast and thicker in structure, creamy in color.
The head changes slowly into a closed lacing.
The beer has a hazy to murky deep orange to amber color.
Smell creamy peach, some vanilla, hint of nettle, gass, some yeast, apricot and some sour fruit tones (think berries and lemon).
Taste is a mix of hops and sour, strange, but actually works out pretty fine: sour fruit, tart, yeasty, than there comes some hops, hop fruits and hop bitters with less to no floral hop tones.
Aftertaste is more bitter than sour with some floral tones and yeast.
Low to medium carbo, soft light creamy mouthfeel, medium body and a light creamy texture.
There is this tart ish something in this beer, an infection? Lactic sour? Does taste like it. Not bad, I quite like it. This beer is nothing really more than a mix of hops (fruits and bitters) and the sour lactic thing. Strange for an IPA, but this would make an interesting sour ale.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle @ home. Aroma is fruity hops with slight malt. Bad description for the nice aroma. Flavour is the same, in a boring yet fulfilling way.
