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.

From a 355ml bottle on 20/6/2015. Pours a clearish golden with a medium white head. Has a light aroma of fruit and bready malt. Flavour wise, there’s a light background of bread and biscuity malt, with some sweet citrus fruit, and firmish hops following. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Solid and enjoyable, without being particularly notable.

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Clear golden, small head. Vague grapefruit aroma. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Grapefruit with sugar, ripe fruit and bread. Warming bitter finish. Quite anonymous.

12 Fl oz bottle into glass. Subdued floral hop nose with hint of malt. Hazy amber beer with two finger white head. Medium carbonation with many tiny bubbles. A little zing in the mouth, good hop bitterness. Then a clean bitter lemon finish. Great beer. Easy drinking, session style but at 7% you’d want to be careful.

Flaska från SB. Krispig och sammetslen lager med snygg välavvägd humling. Bara rena smaker, gräs och citrus dominerar humleprofilen, torr men mjuk och rund kropp som en helles är kanske det som imponerar mest. Riktigt gott trots att humlen inte direkt var färsk. Snygg.

Pours nice golden, bit of white foam. Aroma is quite crisp, not too overpowering, has some fruity notes, and underlining malts. Taste is mild, clean crisp but still fulfilling. Quite a niee lager actually and not overdone with hops. Would really drink this again.

Draught. Almost clear light orange liquid with medium off-white head. Aroma of fresh grassy hops, grain, bread, citrus, pine and noble hops. Taste is dry and light to medium bitter with notes of citrus, grass, grain and bread. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation. Pretty nice, drinkable.

Bottle. Bought without realising it was a strong lager - I’m not big on them. Gold with a white head. Aroma of honeyed hay, kumquats, pine, peach, pepper. Fruity with the hops doing most of the work, but there’s a rich but clean maltiness underneath that just about justifies its existence. Pine, herbs and pepper at the end. Pretty good.
