This hop-forward beer combines the intense aromatics of an American IPA with the crisp drinkability of a German-inspired lager. Originally brewed as part of our first Beer Camp Across America pack, this beer features bold grapefruit and floral hop notes accentuated by the light body of a classic blonde lager.

355 ml bottle. Almost clear golden body with an off-white head. Quite plain fruity aroma, not very strong and not much more in the nose really. Flavor is light, quite refreshing pale malt, light biscuit, fruity, some grapefruit and medium bitterness. Medium body and OK in aftertaste. Pretty OK without breaking any limits.

Bottle bought @ Systembolaget. pours hazy orangish golden with a frothy bubbly offwhite head that slowly dissipates while leaving some spotty sticky trace on the glass. Smell is malty, herbal and tiny earthy with caramel, dark bread, toasted cookies, grapefruit juice, moist grass, pine needles, moist soil, lemon balm, lemon zest and hints of alcohol. Taste is sweet, bitter, tiny malty, tiny fruity and tiny herbal. Mouthfeel is round, tiny astringent and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with caramel, dark bread, toasted cereal, grapefruit juice, moist grass, pine needles, moist soil, lemon balm, lemon zest and hints of cardboard. Fairly old and stale but still decent.

From bottle on board Fridtjofen 12.11.15. Hazy pale orange. Small and diminishing white head. Aroma and taste of dried fruits, papaya, tropical fruits and marmalade. Bitterness of overripe tropical fruits lingering on.

Flaske fra Vinmonopolet Verksgata: lett uklar oransjegylden med kort hvitt skum. Frisk og fin humlearoma (uten å være påtrengende), med citrus, granskudd og appelsin. Ganske sødmefylt smak med de samme elementer, uten å bli klissete. God balanse, med andre ord, og den elegante bitterheten følger med over drøvelen. Farlig lettdrikkelig for sitt vitamininnhold. Friskhet og eleganse er gjennomgangstonen her. Smooth indeed. Torpedo-humlen har jeg ikke vært borti før - må prøve å få tak i denne.
