Thank you Klaas! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG17. Dark amber orange, small tanned head. Nose is herbal pine resin old school big bitter herbal with bark & herbal pine. Taste is herbal pine bark, basic old school herbal pine resin, bark, bitter leaves finish,… Unbalanced herbal bark, leaves, pine,… not great but passable old school DIPA. Okay enough for sure.

Bottle. Orange bronze color. Aroma of resinous hop, caramel, pine and peach toffee. Taste has chewy caramel, pine, toffee, resinous hop, malt and sticky ripe fruit. Bit too malty and sweet for my liking, bit old school.
