355ml bottle - aaaaah, a high-IBU IPA: sing it, Ozzy - 'it's the same old desire...'.
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves some decent splattered and sudsy lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, orange and red grapefruit flesh, a hint of hard water flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a lesser caramel sweetness, muddled domestic citrus rind, a suggestion of tropical fruitiness, faint yeasty notes, and a further (yet diminished) earthy, herbal, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its frolicking frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of hop astringency maybe not playing so well with the other kids here. It finishes off-dry, the wan citrus character fencing with the malt for lingering dominance.
Overall - this one starts off quite pleasantly, actually reminding me of the first whiff of a strong West Coast IPA that I had all those years ago. However, the flavour doesn't exactly follow up on that promise, so I'm left wanting more. It definitely takes its own name in vain.

A - hazy copper with half finger head.
S - sour, raisin, oxidized, sweet. can anyone tell me what is that smell? sth like rotten fruits.
T - well carbonated, big body. some kind of rotten fruits taste, which comes first. and then bitter, little citrus, bit malty.
O - i wouldnt say it is bad, but i didnt enjoy some of the "unique" aroma and taste from it. i like the bitterness tho. will not get it again. actually not that bad, but still, decision is made.
