Draft to taster at Dutch’s. Looks alright; light for an IPA though (even by English standards). A slightly hazy gold with white head that dissipates into lacing. Smells and tastes solid; nicely balanced with pine and citrushop notes. Good on the palate. Solid beer.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 BitchPls (244) - FINLAND - MAY 18, 2013
Yellow beer with a hint of orange. Small white head. Medium strong fruity aroma. Medium body. Lots of grassy bitterness. Some roundness and grapy fruitiness in the hops too but not in a similar way than in typical American style IIPA’s. Quite good and very bitter beer but this lacks something that I love in imperial IPA’s. It’s the softness, fullness, roundness and a bit stronger sweetness that I like in this genre. Definitely worth a try though! Very good.
