A classic west coast double IPA, malty and punchy with hop flavor. A staple style of the San Diego brewing scene.

For me, I had a great moment with this beer, solid and well balanced double ipa, a bit soapy but it was not at the extreme, dry ipa, really bitter and citrus, side of orangr peel, at the final, you get a note of tropical fruit, sparkling and aromatic, 28.04.20

Can @ Fox & Hounds, Sønderborg. Pours cloudy amber with stable white head. Clear aroma of hops and citrus, with notes of malt and fruit, and touches of yeast. Bitter flavour of hops and grass, with sweetish touches of yeast and malt. Bitter aftertaste with estery and malty notes. Decent, although a little tame.

Can, 0.473l. Hazy copper pour, one finger frothy white head, good retention. Lasting head, some lacing on the glass as it goes down. Nice on the nose, fruity tropical notes, citric, pine, some herbal notes in the background. Medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel, creamy texture, soft and chewy. Bitter taste balanced with subtle sweet notes in the background. Nicely hopped, fruity tropical aroma, citruses, pineapple, mango and peach. Lingering bitterness. Malty background, caramel, hints of pine, herbal spiciness. Warming alcohol that slowly builds up in the background. Long lasting finish, dry and bitter. Pretty good.

Nagy, örökké tartó fehér hab, átlátszatlan, narancssárga szín. Enyhén édeskés, déligyümölcsös, barackos, ananászos illat, leheletnyi citrushéjas fílinggel. Édeskés, ananászos, grapefruitos, déligyümölcsös és fűszeres ízek, némi citrushéjas és barackos aromával. Testes, enyhén szénsavas, erősen keserű. Jól összerakott sör.

Opalescent golden colour, moderate sized off-white head; aroma and taste of marmalade, pine resiny, some tropical fruity amd biscuity notes, as well as some caramel; taste has the same notes as the aroma ; I would not say that it is watery, but still a bit less bodied considering that it is an IIPA

(Can, 0.355 l, from Alko, 20190627) The beer poured amber and nearly clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, grass, caramel and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, caramel, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, sweet and bitter. A rather nice hoppy brew with tasty maltiness.
