Reviewed from notes taken Summer 2014 in Wroclaw. On-draught into a pilsner glass.
6.70% ABV.
HEAD: 4 minute retention. Off-white colour. Nice creaminess and thickness. Decent complexion and consistency. Nice even lacing coats the sides of the glass as the head recedes.
BODY: Deep dark red/amber colour of average vibrance. Clean, without any visible yeast or sediment.
Appears adequately carbonated.
AROMA: Toasted malt, amber malt, cream, bread crust, some residual sweetness, fruity hop notes. Kind of a dry aroma. Seems balanced. Not too sweet, with an even pairing of hop bitterness and malty sweetness. I detect no overt yeast or alcohol.
A pleasant aroma of average strength.
TASTE & TEXTURE: The hop bitterness is not well balanced by the malts after all; it gets egregious in the hitrd act and on the finish, leaving a poor impression in the lingering aftertaste. Overhopped, with loads of herbal hop bitterness. Some fruity ale yeast esters are present. Toasted malts lend it a nice flavour in the second act, but also an unbecoming rough scratchy texture which makes it drag on the palate.
On the open, it's creamy, soft, and wet, which is fantastic until that texture gets abandoned by the second act. Amber malts and notes of bread crust lend it a robust body.
It's severely imbalanced but nicely complex. Lacks any subtlety to its execution whatsoever. Average depth, duration, and intensity of flavour.
Well-carbonated. Medium-bodied, with apt thickness.
OVERALL: Downable but unremarkable fare. It'll scratch your red IPA itch, but it won't impress the discerning drinker.
High C+ (3.20) / ABOVE AVERAGE
