Style : India Pale Ale

                            
Appearance : The beer pours amber in color with a medium size white head. It is slightly hazy in appearance with a medium to small bubbles.
Aromas : The beer has a fruity hop aroma of tropical fruits like Mango and Pineapple. A light malt aroma could be sensed of white bread and light herbaceous aroma as the beer gets warmer. 
 
Flavor : The beer has a fruity hop aroma of tropical fruits of mango and pineapple. It does have a herbaceous character with assertive hop bitterness. A slight alcohol warmth can be felt once the beer gets warmer. 
Mouthfeel : This is a light bodied beer with a medium carbonation and dry mouthfeel. Astringency is high and the hop bitterness stay on the palate as the aftertaste.

Overall Impression : A surprising and a good comeback with some good beers by BIRA91. This does stand in its name as an IPA and does taste like it too. It has a good body with good flavor profile and the right amount of bitter for an IPA. Very well made beer as it does show some alcohol warmth but is clouded by the fruity flavors of the beer. Overall a pretty good beer but its a limited release, I hope the beer is revived once this batch is over. Cheers
