Brewer’s Blurb:
Top fermented IPA style golden brown beer with a characteristic bitterness and growing intensity rounding off the flavour and aroma of fruit, flowers and wildwood resin impressively.

A top fermented golden brown IPA. It has a characteristic bitterness and growing intensity with a pleasant fruit notes and resiny pine essences completing the aroma spectrum.

We use 4 types of carefully selected malt and 7 kinds of hops from around the world, each with its own unique character and each added at different stage in the brewing process. Thanks to this, a mild malt taste and distinct bitterness with growing intensity is achieved. The scents of fruit, flowers and wildwood resin take you on an exotic voyage to the Orient. Our IPA goes well with steaks and venison, curries and spicy dishes. Enjoy it with soft cheeses and quality pate as well.

Michael’s Notes:
Oh boy, this one is a beast! It didn't taste at all like the IPA's I know and love, instead it struggles to fight its way through your taste buds, punching and scratching as it descends down your throat. It did make for some pretty good burps though.

I think this would have definitely tasted less aggressive if I had it with sausages and cheese, something that is now quite possible from where I am.
