Had it in a can and was 6.0 ABV instead of the listed. Poured light, hazy cloudy yellow. Notes of lemon and pine, very slight malt. Taste follows. Fresh, tart and crisp. Slight acridity in aftertaste but not too off-putting. Decent.

June 2018: Rerate, 330 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6.7%. Slightly hazy golden colour, moderate white head. Piney hoppy aroma, also hints of grapefruit. The flavour has first some malty and fruity sweetness, before a very sharp hop bitterness takes over. Too bitter and unbalanced.

Original rating: RBESG 2016 in Barcelona. On tap at NaparBCN. Golden colour. Hoppy aroma and flavour, quite bitter.

The label in my bottle is different to this one. Pours a golden colour with medium head and retention, leaving an irregular tear alike lace. Aroma of grapefruit, tropical fruits, peaches, melon. Full body, sticky dense palate. Taste of tropical fruits, grapefruits, hints of caramel, smoky notes. A great one.

Bottle in Andorra:

White cap. Cloudy lemon yellow body.

Tropical fruit dominates the flavour profile. Slightly coarse, wet, refreshing, medium-bodied.

Drinkable fare. Would make a nice summer IPA.

From elcervecero. In Duvel glass. After dinner. Another Masterpiece from naparbier. Great aroma and great bitter taste. Avg 4.64

16 Feb 2017. From Tercertiempocervezas. New label As great as I remembered, maybe even more balanced, less aggressively bitter and more drinkable and fruity. Avg 4.5

24 Marzo 2019. De Decevecitas. Nueva etiqueta. En copa Teku. En almuerzo, con arroz amarillo con pollo. Menos dulce que la version anterior y mas west coast. Con intenso amargor herbal, algo resinoso, y notas citricas. Me gustaba algo mas antes, aunque cuanto mas la bebes mas va gustando

Got this one at the Duvel guy down the road.

From a bottle into a snifter
Best Before 20 October 2015

APPEARANCE: Pours a one finger, slightly looser, bright white head with okay retention. Hazy light amber orange with no real carbonation. Head fades to a full wisp and clings to the sides of the glass. A splotchy wisp remains but leaves no real lacing down the glass. Wonderfully bright color, but a pretty average head.

SMELL: Wow. Lots of citrus and tropical fruit on the nose. Mango, pineapple, honeydew melon and passion fruit. Piles of citrus and tropical fruit all over the place. Really nice.

TASTE: Yes. Thank you. Tropical fruit up front with mango, passion fruit, pineapple and honeydew melon. Very fruity with plenty of citrus and tropical stuff going on. Bold finish with lots of fruit, mango, passion fruit and a touch of caramel sweetness proving a base to the bitter, fruity hops. This is fantastic.

PALATE: Medium body and medium levels of carbonation. Semi-creamy on the palate, could be a touch smoother, goes down fine and finishes dry on the palate. Some bitterness lingers.

OVERALL: It's amazing how geography can have such a big influence on people's perception. If this had been brewed in Vermont, people would be making a mess of themselves. Wonderful, wonderful hop forward IPA. Probably the best I've had on this continent. It's not quite as full and creamy perhaps, but for those of you wanting to try Heady Topper and don't have the means, this has a lot of the same aroma and flavor qualities. Pour it into a glass, close your eyes and imagine it was brewed at some hyped up US brewery. Then you'll get it. Highly, highly recommended. This most recent batch at least. Get it.

A pint on tap at Naparbier bar. Tropical hops and toasted malts in the nose. The taste is a bit milder than expected but the lemon and bitterness by the end are great. Medium body, slightly oily texture. Very good IPA, at least on tap, and one of the best IPAS ive had to date. Aker is the devilish billy goat in the Basque mythology.
