12oz can in 2022, but I had this in bottle when it came out 15 years back or so. Malty, full bodied. Not really that impressive on most levels. Drinks like an old East Coast IPA from the 2000s, not much finesse, heavy handed. Resinous stale hop aroma. Better than a poorly made NE IPA, but still not that great of an example of an IPA.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a burnt glossy copper color with a sly transparency about it. Carbonation was somewhat seen rising at a moderately slow pace. Speckled lace followed the finger’s worth of white foamy head that slid off fairly slow.
The aroma had some bold citrusy to floral hop character up front flowing over a clean sturdy malt base - somewhat caramel/toffee.
The flavor was moderately sweet through the blend of hops to malts and infusing a stiff biscuit/cracker backbone that bled into the aftertaste. Finish was malty but had a little bit of hop spice.
The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt appropriate. Some acceptable bitter harshness.
Overall, I was a bit surprised at this one as it seemed like a Long Trail IPA put on steroids to lean towards the American side of the wheelhouse and actually quite good. Amazing that I grew up in the county directly north of this brewery and I haven’t had this IPA until this week and it’s as good as it is.

Bottled@Oliver Twist, Stockholm (backlog). Pale copper colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruits, glue, alcohol, grains and some other rubbery notes. Flavour is citrus, fruits, toffee, glue, alcohol and some mild metal and rubber to it. Not sure how the metal and rubber has come here, but makes the beer feel very unclean.
