probstblueribbon (2378) - Nepean, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 18, 2013
33 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served cool in a tulip glass. 18DE12.

App.: Hazy orange-copper with a small orange-tan head. Aroma: A lot of very juicy citrus hops, orange peel, a touch of grapefruit, blood oranges, somewhat peppery/spicy/green, resinous/pine notes, a nice caramel and rye bread crust malt base, bread/toast, a little yeast, quite nice. Palate: Medium+ body, fairly gentle effervescence with a few fine, prickly bubbles. Flav.: Not quite as vibrant as the nose, more malty, quite a bit of fruity caramel, subdued pine/resin, very little green/peppery hops, a touch tangy, bread crust, toast; dry with pretty good bitterness and a malty, juicy citrus and citrus peel finish.

Quite nice. If they were aiming for an American IPA, they hit the bulls eye.

Tap. Pours hazy gold with average, fizzy white head; short retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is apples, pears, toasted and cereal malts, grassy and floral hops, and light sugar. Flavor is sweet malts and citrus fruit esters forward with supporting floral and citrus hops, light sour notes, and light grapefruit; dry finish. Medium body and carbonation.

Redteketed (4) - NETHERLANDS - FEB 14, 2013 does not count
Mooie schuimkraag. Aroma bestaat uit diverse fruitige tonen, druif, cirus en grapefruit, lichte aardtonen en iets grassig. Smaak is bitter, denachtig, grassig en aardeachtig. Bitterdroog, medium sterk mondgevoel. De smaak vloeit lang uit.

Temptation (127) - - FEB 11, 2013
Reddish copper color, darker than the usual IPAs. Off-white head, medium size and lasting. Hoppy aromas, fresh and fragrant. In nose, there are some hints to fruit and raw malts. It improves in mouth, with a nice balance between nuts and slight sweetness and a great, though constant, development. Elegant, notable beer.

ZwartePiet (44) - BELGIUM - FEB 11, 2013
ambrée legerement foncée Nez porté sur le malt torréfié avec une note alcool, tres tres legerement fruit Au niveau du gout c’est bien amer en debut. Mais clairement un amertume plus porté sur des notes grillées caramel que boulon. Pour une IPA c’est un peu decevant du coup. En fin de bouche, de maniere etonnante, ca reste plutot doux et tres legerement sirupeux. Une note un peu sirop d’erable pas desagreable. Ca reste equilibré et complexe sans non plus casser trois pattes à un canard ... Un peu plus chaud ca prend une tournure franchement fruité, j’ai lu velouté un peu plus bas et c’est vrai que ca correspond bien

Vignale (1368) - Malmö, SWEDEN - FEB 8, 2013
Flaska från Beernavigator. BBF sep-13. Superbig head, brownorange unclear liquid. Sweet and sour nose, noth like an IPA. Sweet apples, fizzy, sour, like a sour applesoda. Probably an infected bottle.

Shaney (1735) - Köln / Cologne, GERMANY - JAN 31, 2013
Bernsteinfarben, zu wenig Schaum, viele Schwebeteilchen. Aroma nach Ananas und Citrus, allerdings auch süßlich. Leicht alkoholischer Anflug im Antrunk. Wird dann sehr schnell ziemlich süß, leicht brotig gar. Der unterdimensionierte Hopfen kann das Ergebnis nicht mehr retten. Für ein IPA einfach viel zu süß geraten, quasi ein Schwarze-Mädchentraube-IPA. Nicht mein Geschmack!

barnabeermane (43) - Barcelona, SPAIN - JAN 26, 2013
Color naranja profundo y buena corona compacta y persistente. Aroma levaduras, licor y malta poco lupulo. En boca igual que en aroma, bastante dulce, para mi gusto le falta lupulo, agradable final seco.
