From backlog. 330ml can from Ales by Mail. Canned 12.12.2016 :(. Pours orange with a foamy white head. Aroma of orange peel, caramely malts, sweet citrus and herbal hops. Taste is sweetish, caramely malty and stingy hoppy with some orange peel, citrus and earthiness. Finish is stingy, earthy and stuffy with some caramely malts, aged grassy hops, orange peel and citrus. Not very fresh.

Can 330ml (AbM)
Clear amber colour, small white head. Peachy fruity aroma. Medium-bodied. Tropical fruity sweetish crustal malty IPA with even some warming alcohol. Even somewhat near American ambers. In the finish grapefruity bitterness. Ok, could have another one.

Can from Beer Zoo. Hazy orange body with a thick off-white head. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of grapefruit and parma violets. Flavour of pink watermelon sweets, blood orange and tomato juice. Thin to medium body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. The hops really shine in this. A great IPA.

(Can) Pours hazy amber brown with short lived white head. Intense lovely aroma of tropical fruit with pine notes. Medium body with restrained but bright carbonation. Well balanced taste with lots going on. There’s a good malt backbone giving hints of biscuity sweetness. The start is fresh and tropical fruity. Full, interesting, but not mouth puckering, hoppy bitterness develops and hangs around for a long finish. A great beer.
