Commercial Description:
Hold onto your hats, or even better - your lips! This bitter beer is for "hop-heads" only. Ripe with floral and citrus notes, our new "india pale ale" is so packed with Centennial and Chinook hops it should be green (the color of hops). It's also unfiltered and dry-hopped. Are you up to the challenge? 12.7 degrees Plato, 50 IBU

Bottle in Antwerp. Shared it with a friend. The smell alone already says that this is a very hopy beer. And the taste is extreme hop bitter. If you do not like bitter beers do not try this one. This is the most bitter beer i tasted so far. Increadibale

A: Cloudy murky orangish color with a large bubbly head at first. The head dies down to a thin ring with an island in the middle. It appears to be a somewhat sticky brew as I circle the glass, and this is confirmed by the lacing left behind. S: Many have described it as earthy and I have to agree. There is a natural quality to this brew. I smell some metallic iron and dirt in the background but grapefruit and pine reign supreme. T: Lovely IPA that is unique in its own right. I am immediately hit with bitter grapefruit peel and pine. As the bitterness dies down a nice ruby red grapefruit sweetness overcomes you. It finishes dry and goes down soo smooth. What a nice beer! M: Medium bodied with a dry finish. Crisp and clean.

At a tasting, thanks David, small but stable and long lasting head with a little lacing, lightish orange colour, aromas of peach and grapefruit, flavours of home detergent and some fruit and an overpowering bitterness. Bitter and bland.

Pours a crystal clear yellow-orange. Minimal head that recedes quickly. Heavy sediment near the bottom. I don’t know, I think IPAs should be darker and cloudy. Aroma of hops and sweet malts. Citrusy and floral. Very bitter right off the bat. Oily flavor that dominates the beer. Grapefruit. Way overpowers the malt. Nothing but a hop bomb. I’m OK with hop bombs, but I need balance. Nothing more then sucking on hops.

Has a deep golden color. Aroma is mainly hops, floral, and citrus. Taste is full of floral hops and a little citrus in the back end. Has a nice bitter aftertaste.
