Double India Pale Ale
The Calling is an undeniable IPA we were driven to make. It's our tribute to like-minded dreamers, adventurous spirits, and glass half-full optimists. Bursting forth with unmistakable tropical fruit and pine hop aromas and flavor, it's supported with a slightly sweet malt character and tapers to a crisp, dry finish. Heed your call and enjoy.

Nice labeled 0,33 l bottle from Beer Supreme, Oldenburg. 2,99 €. Little bit unclear golden, smalll frothy white head. Smells hopy, some malt in the second row. Taste is floral hopy, grape, some caramell. Smooth. Pleasant bitterness, some grain and pine, sweetness in the background. Increasing bitterness to the end and in the aftertaste. Present but less alcoholic than expected. Balanced. Really nice.

Tap @ Little Devil, Tilburg. Clear orange golden color, medium to full sized off-white head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is malts, hops, sticky resinous hop aroma. Flavor is likewise: malts, hops, lots of hops, sticky and resinous hops with a sweetish sticky hop and hop bitter finish. If it wasn’t clear already: it’s all about hops in this one. I’m a sucker for those sticky resinous hops so I love this resinous and piney hop bomb! Lovely!

Big offwhite head. Very slightly hazy deep yellow body. Resiny pineapple aroma with herbal tropical fruit notes. Sweet resiny pineapple taste with tropical fruit juice notes. Mid-bodied. Sharpish mouthfeel. Sweetish tropical fruit and pineapple aftertaste with spicy orangey notes. Nice, clean, drinkable, certainly full of flavour. (0.355l bottle, from wine monopoly Strømmen.)

Flaske 330ml fra Vinmonopolet Tromsø - Langnes. Drukket hjemme 3 Nov 16. Lys gylden. Høyt luftig skum som varer. Lett fruktaroma. Smaken balansert. Snev av ananas. Søt. Blir tørr etter hvert. Litt tungdrikkelig.

Golden with a white head - Hop aroma with citrus and some hints of herbs - Good malt body to support a hop flavour that has some citrus and olso some herbal piney flavours - The hop flavours goes into the finish with a nice bitterness that lasts - This was good
