Ok, just found this in my Polish supermarket, it seems I am the first to review! I don't understand anything on the bottle except IPA, anyway that's fine for me :)
Deep reddish colour, quite low amount of head. Switched to a wine glass and much better :) Looks pretty good now, amazing colour.
Aroma is phenominally fresh and strong. Peaches and apricots especially. Reminds me of an IPA from the West Coast. However the aroma does not have much bitterness, it is mostly fruit!
Taste has much more bitterness! I need to have quite a few sips to truly describe it. It's quite a flat bitterness somehow, and lacks some vitality. Almost like it's quite an old bottle (expiry date says December 2017). I am a big fan of bitter beers, especially IPA's, though somehow this bitterness is different, not fresh like the aroma is. According to the bottle they are using the common Chinook and Mosaic hops, plus Citra, all from the US.
I want to like it, however the taste and aroma need to morph together more. It is as though the sweet fruitiness has all bubbled away and I am left with overt bitter hops in the glass. I have never said a beer is too bitter before, though this simply needs more other flavours to complement the bitterness! I would however love to try this fresh, in the brewery.
Will buy more beers from this brewer, they have potential, this however (at least this bottle) is not as good as the aroma made it seem.
Apparently it's limited edition, according to Google Translate. In the next edition, it needs more sweetness and fruitiness...and it could be an amazing beer.
Anyway, much better than Tyskie and Zywiec!
