(Hand bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of BrianK. Pours an almost clear amber golden with a handsome, off-white head leaving laces. Rather fat and oily hop aroma with peachy accents. Medium body with some caramel, a weird ashy note and a very dry and very bitter hoppy finish. 190608

Sample from tap at the brewpub. Pours slight hazy orange/brown. Aroma of grapes, fruit and floral. Flavour is floral, citric and sweet. Goes into a caramel and bitter blend in the finish. Good ipa. Cask is much more lively in the aroma and strong addition on flavour too, also in the malt profile.7-3-7-4-15equals3.6br br Handbottled, Papsoes blindtasting, bottle #3.
