COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our I.P.A. is a dark-blonde beer with an emphatic, hoppy flavour. We add hops to the beer during the maturing process as well as the brewing to produce delicious aromas of flowers and grapefruit. A beer with a fruity, bitter aftertaste that lingers for a long time.

womencantsail (6896) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - OCT 2, 2012
Pours a hazy orange color with a white head. There’s a really sweet nose to this. Dominated by bread and toasted malt with a light floral hoppiness. Some hints of pine in the background. The flavor has just a bit of hop bitterness. Otherwise, intense malty sweetness of toast and toffee. A weird spice note, perhaps from the yeast strain? A really sweet citrus character, too.

Enjoyit (2914) - Vadum, DENMARK - MAY 23, 2013
Hazy brown orange of color with a nice white head. An aroma of hops, yeast, grapefruit, lemon and flowers. A flavor of hops, citrus, grapefruit, malt, flour and a nice bitter dry finish.

caesar (3946) - Bunnik/Utrecht, NETHERLANDS - MAY 19, 2013
Tap @ de mug, Nijmegen. Served too cold as a cloudy yellow beer with a short white head. Soft aroma of citrussy hops, bit spicy yeast. Medium bitter taste, too yeasty again. Maybe should try this again, but this was a disappointment after the ciel bleu i had last week.

33 cl. bottle poured in to a tulip. Muddy, amber colour with a huge, fluffy white head. Fruity aroma with citrus, resin, plums, pines and grapefruit. Some floral hops. Taste is bitter. Medium body, average carbonation. Finishes dry, bitter with floral and sweet, overripe fruits. A different take on the IPA.style.

mile (2113) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAY 14, 2013
Bottle. Dark golden, cloudy, average to large and mostly lasting head. Moderate, malty and sweetish aroma, light caramel, tropical fruitiness with piney and grapefruit hoppyness. Body is medium to full, malty and sweetish flavor, some caramel, tropical fruitiness, piney and grapefruit hoppyness. Finish is average, malty and sweetish, some caramel, piney - some grapefruit hoppyness, light alcohol. Really nice hoppyness in the aroma, but flavor/finish has too much caramel/too sweet.

hopbel (5) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 4, 2013 does not count
Mooi donker oranje kleur. Typische IJ schuimkraag. Neus vol hop. Smaken van grapefruit en ananas aangenaam. Niet heel erg bitter in de nasmaak. Lekkere mondvol bier. Gevaarlijk doordrinkbaar. Als je een boer laat proef je de hop en de hopbitterheid. Aanbevolen dus. Veel van drinken en flink boeren

fdomig (211) - Feldkirch, AUSTRIA - MAY 1, 2013
250ml at the brewery. The aroma is sweet and pineapple. A very nice dark orange cloudy color with a nice head. Taste is sour and sweet with a light dryness in the end. A superb IPA. Love it.
