On-tap. Shaker glass @ Cervecería Freiburg (Barcelona). Inviting brass color, cloudy appearance. Head is white, close & lasting. Slightly toasted malt, pine, resin & citric tropical fruit –pineapple, grapefruit- aromas. Crispy upfront, resinous & flavorful shows hints of grapefruit on the back. Medium body. Moderate to high carbonation. Oily texture. Well balanced malts & hops but finally sharp bitterness arises in the middle while lingers into a dry finish. Pine & grapefruit notes on the aftertaste. Highly recommended AIPA !!

Classic version of an ipa over here with toccalmatto. Golden colour, with a thin white head. Some fruity hops are present and balanced by a biscuity malt bill. Moderate carbonation

From 32GP. In Teku glass. At dinner, with pampean burger and pok cheese. Very original, complex and tasty hops profile. Has everything: tropical fruits, herbal, grassy...very refreshing with the abv well hidden. A great surprise

750ML bottle consumed while sitting on a balcony overlooking Lake Como watching the sun set behind the Alps. Already a ‘5’ day as far as I’m concerned.
The pour is orange juice cut with peaches, or perhaps I’ve just watched my daughter down to many fruit drinks the past several days. Noses in very tropical once it warms up, & one sucks in several lungfuls of air along with the aroma.
Zona Cesarini is green. The overwhelming flavor profile is like snapping off a green willow branch, sticking in your mouth, & chewing while you tromp through your grandpa’s pasture. The tropical punch in the nose comes mid-palate with mango, pineapple, citrus (which arrives via belch). Raw bitterness is present but tempered by floral ringlets. Sticky, easy.
I evolved from an ‘eh’ first sip to a ‘man, that’s good’ as my I began to race towards the bottom of my glass. Outside the flavor profile of a typical American IPA, the green rawness of this really grew on my mouth. Very good brew.

On tap in Craft Republic, Moscow.
L - shining golden strawby almost without head.
S - fruity but not too bright. Citrus, pineapples and so on.
T - very fruitty and similar to smell, but a bit brighter. Nice one.
F - something is a little bit disturbing about the aftertaste, but still it is more or less fine.
O - nice, but not necessary IPA.
