330ml bottle, orange-brown pour with a thin lacing head, strong hoppy pine, citrus and exotic fruit nose, palate is bitter and hoppy with hints of dark marmalade and a rich orangey-peachy malt backbone, notes of candy sugar and pine, all very well integrated.

330 ml bottle from Wasana’s in Germany. Pours a clear coppery color with a soft creamy head. Aroma is pine, grapefruit and candy. Taste is well a hoppy IPA and like the aroma but without the candy. Palate is dry and tart. Not my style.

Beige, medium, frothy head. Clear copper color. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Taste is also fruity with a decent bit spicy bitterness and longish finish.

Bottle: Malty aroma with notes of candy. Citrus, exotic fruits and bitter hops. Flavor is first malty, light to medium sweet, candies, fruity (ananas), resine, aroma hops. Medium bitter finish.

A German IPA? Indeed! And near perfect execution also. Beautiful creamy head sits atop an amber body. Hops is the first thing you smell, and definitely the first thing you taste. Unusual for a German brewer, but it’s excellent.

Ambrata con poca schiuma. Aroma luppolato, abbastanza aromatico.Note agrumate (in piccola parte) frutta tropicale e luppoli tedeschi. Al palato ingresso dolce, poi vira verso canoni più luppolati ma senza eccedere nell’amarezza estrema. Finale non proprio pulito con un retrogusto che non convince del tutto. L’alcol è nascosto in maniera mirabile. Un birrificio che fa del rapporto qualità/prezzo il suo cavallo di battaglia.

Bottle from Birratrovo, bb 19.12.16
Hazy amber color with medium sized head, short retention. Mild aroma, some cereals, maybe sweet, light honey and light hops. Lean body; cereals flavor with light residual sweetness; strong bitterness, very light fruity presence, mild resins and not much more hop qualities.
Unimpressive, maybe not fresh enough?

UPDATED: MAY 5, 2013 0,33 l bottle BB 13. May 14 from Getränke Liebick Lots of bitter hops aroma ==> spruce, citrus, herbs Plus exotic / citrus fruit aroma. Appearance: amber orange color, hazy, frothy, white foam light sweetness, very bitter, lightly sour, medium body, oily feel, average carbonation, bitter and long finish Nice but IMHO there are already better german IPAs on the market.

Bottle. Light amber with a thin head. Aroma is a mix of fruit, pineapple, orange herbal hops. Flavours follows along the same lines, very fruity with a medium bitter finish.

0.33 l bottle at Timo A’s. Copper to amber color. Dry, tart and citrusy hop aroma with lime. Crisp hoppy taste with tart lemon, lime and mango. Dry minerally hoppy finish. Firm bitterness but on a low side for an IPA. Medium body. Alcohol completely hidden. Good IPA.
