65 cl bottle @ home, bottled 01/2012. ”Brewed at Mercury Brewing Co.”
Aroma has sweetish fruits, biscuits and some floral notes. Flavour is somewhat hoppy with sweetish fruits, some malt, resin and hints of gooseberries that get stronger towards the finish. Somehow I expected more rough hops and more exotic fruits from a 8% ABV IPA.

Bomber. Pours a slightly cloudy orange with a dense head of cream foam. Aromas are of resin, grapefruit, a little honey and orange blossom sweetness and lemongrass. Flavor is pretty sweet with a good hops kick, especially in the finish. Bitter and resins flavore dominate the late palate, but the front side is caramel and honey malt notes. Mouthfeel is fairly thick for the style, more reminiscent of a DIPA. I fact, the whole thing comes across as more of a DIPA in my book...

Bomber from Half Time. Pours clear copper with a 3 finger creamy/foamy light beige head. Aroma of overtoasted malt and citrus rind. Med body. Flavor is very citrus rind, floral, resin and enough hop acids to provide a serious burn. At 8% I do not know why this isn’t in DIPA category. My mouth is all bittered up. I’m sure it could perform as embalming fluid - or perhaps a cancer preventative. Finishes with just enough malt to support all the hop. Brilliant effing ale.

65cl bottle @ Kaisla. Bottled 1/2012. Hazy orange, lacing white head. Very hoppy fruity aroma, tropical fruits. Flavor was grapefruit, lemon, malt and leather. Especially in the finish you feel this is not the freshest example. Still quite enjoyable IPA.

(Bottle, 0.65 l - Bottled 1/2012, at Kaisla, 20120531) The beer poured mahogany coloured and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fresh grass, mango, pineapple and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, fruitiness, spiciness, biscuit, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, malty and bitter. Nice balance of hoppiness and maltiness. The beer had turned a bit musty already which was a pity.

Deep rich amber coloured body with a copper glow and almost a ruby tint with a nice three centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of fresh piney and grapefruity hops with a nice malt backbone and some fresh sweetness. Medium to Full-bodied; Chewy piney and resiny hops noticeable up front with a good bitterness, some nice alcohol notes, a bunch of herbal flavours and a fully supported malt flavour. Aftertaste shows a lot of hop bitterness, some resin flavours, a lot of herbal characteristics and some good deep complexity for an IPA. Overall, a nice IPA, definitely one worth searching for, and sample it if you can find it. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 23-May-2012 for US$5.99 sampled at home in Upstate New York on 27-May-2012.

650ml bottle. Clear dark golden to amber colour with average frothy lacing white head. Resinous hoppy aroma. Slightly sweet malty basis counterbalanced by dry and bitter hop, lasting bitter hoppy finish.

22oz bomber pours hazy copper with orange juice hues and a somewhat weak off white head of foam. The mild aroma offers up some spicy hop notes, some pine hops, hints of citrus and then cinnamon and a dash of black pepper. The taste has a good deal of hops that are spicy, earthy and then even a bigger does of pine hops toward midway. The bitter and flavor hops are at about equal strength adding a pleasing rounded hop balance. Around the edges of the flavor I get increasing levels of grapefruit into the finish. Tasty stuff.

Bottle from Olbutikken. Clear amber beer. Good cream coloured head. Light palate, dry. Robust malt, a little raw - grainy and dry. Gives way to to bitter pine hops with a bitter orange marmalade undertone. Finishes dry and minerally with moderate bitter linger. Not the most joined up of IPAs - a bit clunky. But ultimately okay.

Amber-copper color, small steady off-white head, lace. Piney, grapefruity aroma. Medium-bodied. Piney-resiny bitterness in the flavor. Nice drinkability. Long lingering resiny hoppyness in the aftertaste. Not very personal but well-brewed.
