COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask: Regular. Also available bottled.
A citrus dominated India Pale Ale, its immediate impression is soft and smooth yet builds to a crescendo of massive hoppiness accentuated by honey. An enduring, bitter finish.

pootzboy (1450) - Hawgville, Ontario, - APR 26, 2012
Bottle: poured a clouded pale straw colored ale in the glass - great puffy 2 finger white cacop lasts and laces the glass well. Modest carbonation. Aroma is demure but very pleasant - fruity, citrus, pale biscuit malts, some mustiness. Light body and palate but very citrusy and hoppy not much sweetness. Front side is mainly hop dominated with the malts in the background - citrusy - soft mouth, clean bitter and dry finish with a hint of honey as malts show through. This is a wonderful light IPA made for thirst busting.

Nice, fresh and well hopped india pale ale. Everything is well balanced and this makes the beer miss some character. The colour is a bit boring.

Decent brew, nice aroma, but not as full flavoured as the best IPAs. A little pricy too. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

I believe in IPA.... ma così ti piace vincere facile! Ottima ed equilibrata, amara senza stancare mai mai mai!

bunget (315) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 15, 2013
500ml bottle. Hazy golden body, medium white head, ok retention, not a lot of lacing. Classic IPA aroma: grapefruit, caramel, floral hops, cloves, exotic fruits, sweet malt. Taste is sweet and refreshing upfront, medium hop bitterness, very floral, exotic fruits, grapefruit. Light body, intense carbonation.

ElDesmadre (934) - Mikołów, POLAND - MAY 13, 2013
Bottle. Strong piney and resiny notes mixed with orange zest and honey flavoured grapefruit. Initially subtle taste with a velvety mouthfeel boosted by a strong bitterness and a herbaceous, zesty finish. Approved!

Golden color and a nice white head. Lots of citrus and flower on the nose. Some earthy notes also. Nice bitterness on the finish. Very, very drinkable…

elosop (67) - SWEDEN - MAY 10, 2013
Gyllenfärgad med bra skumkrona. Citrusdominerande doft och blomster & ananas i smaken. Lång, bitter eftersmak. Mkt god för en IPA.

hopbomber (88) - Manchester, Greater Manchester, ENGLAND - MAY 5, 2013
As far as IPA’s go this is a tad bland, the hops do not shine through, it is mildly fruity with a lager mouthfeel. Many better examples on the market at a similar price.

mzaar (883) - Varberg, SWEDEN - MAY 4, 2013
Dimmig guldfärgad med långvarigt vitt skum. Citron är dominant, men också bär den spår i doften av persika, apelsin och blommighet. Citrus, rosvatten, honung och örter i smaken. Medelbeska.
