An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and very hoppy as well as very fruity. The flavor is sweet with light notes of alcohol coming thru the notes of grass, and leading to a dry hoppy and bitter end.

Bottled. Pale amber, average head. Rich lychee aroma. Sweet and fruity with clean, rounded mouthfeel and solid malt structure. Really hoppy with loads of oranges and lychee. salty, tarry finish. Well crafted, but does not score points for originality.

Bottled. Deep amber colour, mediumsized beige creamy head. Aroma is honey, flowery hops. Flavour is the same with the hops being really big. Quite typical IPA still.

slightly hazy gold, whispy off white head, touch of lace, sweet citrus aroma, bitter sweet flavor with a nice interplay beween some light carmel sweetness and lots of lingering hop bitterness, a distracting tart edge

Golden light brown colour. Deep piney hops with light but chewy malts. Somewhat thin body, though. Flavour continues with the aromatic themes of chewy crystal malt and piney hops. As the glass goes on, I get increasingly bored.

Amber color. Strong fruity hops (grapefruit…). The body structure is not very complex, the bitterness is pleasant, and very long.
