An American-style IPA brewed with 100% Irish malt. Pine and citrusy grapefruit are balanced by a full, malt backbone. Very pale with a slight hop haze from high levels of dry hopping. Fruity aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit and orange. The flavour is equally fruity, with a soft mouthfeel and a balanced finish.

Can from HavnensVin&Tobak. Pours hazy golden amber with large white head. Aroma is intense spruce, orange, peach and hints of toffee and resin. Taste is medium sweet, very bitter and faint acidic. Body is oily with light carbonation. Finish is long and mostly bitter with notes of resin, spruce and grapefruit but also some sweet and fruity notes of mandarin, peach and caramel.

Can @home. Dorata, un filo torbida, schiuma bianca media. Al naso note agrumate, citriche, leggermente erbacee, di malto. In bocca l'attacco è maltato, dolce, con chiusura amara medio-leggera, manca un po' di secchezza e un filo di bilanciamento, ma si lascia apprezzare ugualmente. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Ok.

Tap @ Patricks. Unclear golden body with a nice, lacing, firm white head. Aroma of malt, peach, apricot and a hint of pine and orange marmalade. Flavor has a nice balance between the sweet malt, sweet, not particular fresh but distinct fruit like aroma and bitterness. Nice body and long lasting sweet malty and bitter aftertaste. A rather classic IPA with a malt base and toned down fruitiness. Not to common these days to have a taste of ripe fruit and marmalade instead of fresh grapefruit, makes it a bit interesting.

Keg at Tønne, Leicester. Light gold and hazy with a ring of fluffy white head. Luscious aroma of pineapple, mango and pine resin. Sweet and juicy with a pleasant malty biscuit base. A hop burn threatens but doesn't materialise, giving a smooth finish with a touch of bitterness. Medium to heavy carbonation. A really nice IPA.

Keg at Hop & Anchor, Aberdeen. It pours cloudy golden with a thick, creamy white head. The aroma is sweet, creamy, toasted oats, milky porridge, sweet tangy tropical fruits and a bit of pina colada. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, toasted oats, porridge, creamy, milky, ripe stone fruits, grass, tannin and a bit of alcohol sting. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Unusual. Not bad.
