Throwback IPA may be mid-strength, but it’s certainly no shrinking violet. Wielding a broad malt profile and a generous whack of hops, this expertly crafted session IPA continues to satisfy beer drinkers the world over. From Port Adelaide to Penang, there’s nothing quite like a Throwy…
The nose shows lifted notes of citrus and pine, with an underlying sappy, resinous quality. Its dank and slightly herbaceous. On the palate, oven baked biscuit and toffee malt develops quickly in to bright and juicy citrus. Grapefruit and lemon present well, pairing with a vibrant, sherbet like texture. The finish is fresh, with a pleasant lingering bitterness and a hint of spice.

Can at home, köszi Dorka! Pours deep copper with thicc head. Nose is big resinous hops, and so is the taste with a faint fruity touch at the end. Light, perhaps too light body, tho not surprising at 3.5%, average carbo.

Canned (from Ales by Mail). Orangeish golden colour with a slightly off-white mediumsized head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is bready malts, some floral and mild grassy elements. Flavour is mild herbs, floral notes with some grass and mild citrus elements. Nice floral and grassy bitter finish.

hazy pale, thick white head. Light, hoppy aroma and flavour has some grassy hop, a bit of zesty lemon and not a hell of a lot else but it's got a crisp bitter finish and a nice clean flavour and at this strength you can session it very happily.

0,355 boks fra Gulating Stavanger, hjemme okt-18: selv om denne er i ferd med å gå ut på dato dufter og smaker den riktig friskt - mango, eukalyptus, appelsinmarmelade og furunål. Overraskende solid maltkropp for en lettøl. Lett uklar oransjegylden med flott skum som varer. Lekker bitterhet med stor fruktighet i avslutningen. Et røverkjøp til 20 kr!
