33cl brown glass bottle with standard pry-off pressure cap acquired at the Strefe Piwa bottle shop in Krakow and served into a pilsner glass in me friend's gaff there. Reviewed live. Expectations are high given his recommendation.

Served cold. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.

No bubble show forms as it's poured.

HEAD: 1 finger wide head. Off-white colour. Nice thickness and creaminess. Decent complexion and consistency. No lacing sticks to the sides of the glass as the head recedes. Retention is quite good - about 6-7 minutes.

BODY: Translucent copper of average vibrance. Fine yeast particles are plainly visible floating about. Appears well-carbonated. No hop sediment is visible.

It's a nice appearance for an Imperial IPA, but isn't unique or special.

AROMA: Faint bready malts and bread crust, some cream, pale malts, floral hop notes, a hint of nectar, some sweetbread, and some light herbal character.

A pleasant aroma of mild strength.

No yeast character, overt alcohol, or off-notes are detectable.

TASTE/TEXTURE: Plenty of caramalt and pils malts greet the drinker on the open, accompanied by a smooth creamy soft feel which is a great introduction to this brew. The second act bring the hops - floral hop notes, herbal hops, a dab of nectar.

Average depth, duration, and intensity of flavour. Has some nice complexity, and some decent subtlety. Not real intricate.

Well-carbonated. Medium-bodied.

Not oily, gushed, hot, boozy, astringent, harsh, rough, or scratchy.

It's not real interesting, but it's a nice imperial IPA for what it is, and it comes together well. Cohesive, but not gestalt.

OVERALL: Very drinkable and enjoyable. Hides its ABV well. It's a nice imperial IPA overall. I might not get it again because there are many superior beers in the style below this price range, but it's well worth trying and is nice to drink. A nice Dutch brew.
