Dry Hopped with Citra & Kohia Nelson
Phoenix Down. When you need a pick-me-up worthy of legend, it has your back. Packed with Citra and Kohia Nelson, it bursts to life with juicy mango, zesty lime, passionfruit pop, and a splash of white grape sass. Soft, smooth, and dangerously drinkable, this IPA is the kind of revival you definitely want in your inventory.

Can. A mild haze on this gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a thin but, satisfying creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine, also a tad thin. Good Citra, tangy bright citrus, orange and mandarin, lesser tangerine, touch of skunk, pretty decent Nelson grape with a little white wine tang. Nelson, this year, best for many years. Light finish brings a mild hop spice. Usual Azvex clean and quaffable hop affair.

Can via the online shop. Murked up custard yellow. Very decent thick white foam. Nose has ripe mango and fresh peach. Light on the oats which is great. Taste has a fleeting sweetness and a healthy ripe citrus bitterness. Great mouthfeel here feeling creamy but not claggy. Bright bitterness to finish. This is way more like it.

Uklar gul med kremet hvitt skum. Lukter grapefrukt, mango og fersken. Smaker tropiske frukter. Litt "død" men smaker godt.

Cloudy yellow color with a small white head. Straw, citrus, and tropical fruit in the aroma. Medium-bodied. Tropical fruit, pineapple, and apricot in the flavor. Citrus dries out the finish. Ordinary.
