6 types of hops, raw and unfiltered, great first impressions. I just reviewed a Pinta West Coast IPA, let's see how this compares.
The guy on the bottle with snakes everywhere and oars that look likes hands and guns, looks more like Jack the Ripper than a rower, though I shall not comment. And the bottle seems like it was actually written by someone who speaks English, impressive. Time to open.
Proper head. Proper strong hops aroma. Wow. Best aroma from a beer I have had for ages. Not fruity, just pure hardcore manly hops.
Taste is super chaotic and hoppy and lost. I guess like the guy on the bottle. Here there is no apricot or peach like in a West Coast IPA to balance the bitterness. Or maltiness like in an English IPA. It's literal pure grassy hops, that in this beer tastes totally like cannabis. There is a kind of twiggy, grassy, dirty flavour underpinning everything...I guess like the mud at the bottom of a river. I guess this is where Jack the Ripper throws his dead bodies, and why he has suddenly become a rower, to get away from the police. There is also a kind of burnt flavour. I guess he burnt the bodies before he threw them in the river. At least it saves fossil fuels.
Overall I really like this. The overall taste however is a little too burnt and smokey. It should be marketed with a complex expensive label like many whiskies. I like everything about this, except the smokiness. Luckily I have the double IPA chilling in my freezer, maybe it will be better.

Bottle. Clear golden straw with a medium frothy head.
Meadow grass and light citrus aroma.
Fruity flavour. Grapefruit and Jaffa orange. Distant malt noticed. Bitter.
Refreshing feel. Light carbonation.
Pleasant if somewhat bitter for my liking..

Bottle at Wingman Aachen Germany.
Pours clear with a pale ale look. Solid head and a nice aroma. Citrus with a thick aftertaste. I would recommend.

Almost clear amber color with light beige head. Aroma has toasted malt, light caramel, overripe orange and resiny hops. Taste is bittersweet and a bit astringent, zesty, orange and tangerine forward, a bit malty and nutty, bitter and resiny on the finish. Medium body with medium minus carbonation. It's a really enjoyable IPA with some classic hop flavors.

500 ml bottle, Browarium Sklepy Piwne, Pours cloudy copper with large white foamy head. Medium carbonation. Nice long lacing. Smell - citrus to the fore, orange/mandarin notes. Taste - Citrus fruits again come through on top, pine notes, nice light crisp bitter finish. Nice well balanced APA. Another hit for me from Ale Browar.

Good reviews on the other site. On tap for IPA Day at Kufle I Kapsle. Excited...
Clear deep gold body with a thin white head that leaves some webby lacing.
Sweet malts, citrus, and spice hop.
Flavor has some resinous action and grapefruit going on.
Good carb and bitterness. Medium bodied.
Solid but wasn't super exciting.
