600 ml bottle (exp. 07/30/2016), poured in a glass mug. Amber, clear liquid, with towering foam, which is dense and persistent. Good carbonation. Reasonably aromatic, very bitter (I got not a single clearly sweet note on mouth till the very end), light to medium body and great drinkability. I got some metallic off flavors at a moment. Only after pouring the last 100 ml in a then empty mug, I noticed there was a lot of yeast sediments at the bottom of the bottle. And since I managed some good swirls before this last pouring, the resulting liquid was cloudy and delivering new flavors and aromas which were pretty good for my taste - so that I wouldn't leave it for the last sips next time.

 

 

 

The skinny: think Castaway IPA, and that's not a bad thing.

 

Color Light amber, quite hazy with relatively little head. significant nose with smell of hopps and citrus. Good bitter taste and aftertaste maybe a little overdone. I do love hoppy beers and IPAs but it seems there is a tendency to "over-hop" this type of beer from many breweries.
But a very good alternative on the local market and reasonably priced.

 

 

 

 

 

Light amber color with a thick off-white head with good retention and leaving laces.
Sweet aroma full of tropical notes, mango, papaya, peaches, cocoa, light orange citrusy and malt sweetness.
Fruity flavor with a good bitterness. Not so sweet as the nose suggested. Notes of papaya, pine, tea leaves, peaches, lots of caramels, hints of citrus, a bit of toasted malts and mild spices. Dry aftertaste with a long round bitter aftertaste.
Medium body with good carbonation. Slightly Sticky. Alcohol of 6.5% is tamed, maybe just a bit of fusel alcohols.
I made sure to get this only fresh and it paid off, hops were quite present. Actually its flavor is more English than American. Also, it sure does not lack malt, making it a bit tiring. I would prefer it with a difference choice of hops to my IPAs, the announced citrus did not showed much, the herbaceous predominated. But nice to have an extra local option for IPAs.
