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.

bevuta alla spina,mostra un bel cappello di schiuma compatto e persistente per tutta la bevuta.si presenta con un bel dorato chiaro,alle note leggermente fruttate che rilascia al naso si aggiunge un ottimo retrogusto delicatamente amarognolo.ottima per far passare la "sete"

Bottle. Pours clear golden with airy white head. Clear aroma of hops with a citrus note. Ditto taste. Pleasant, dry aftertaste. Good.

jpkeskinen (24) - FINLAND - MAY 18, 2013
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 (317) - 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!

Crille (7) - Varberg, SWEDEN - MAY 10, 2013 does not count
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.

Yorker (583) - Århus, DENMARK - MAY 5, 2013
50 cl bottle @ home. Pours clear golden with a white head that leaves a little lacing. Aroma is citrus and hops. Flavour is citrus and malt – with a slightly bitter finish.

hopbomber (92) - 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.
