This is an ale that is not afraid of standing tall among other great beers. The intense, sharp and fruity hoppiness is backed by its complex, caramel-like malty structure. Big, yet refreshing. Bold but balanced. This beer has been designed to have it all, to be the greatest common denominator.

On tap at What's Brewing Beer Festival 2018, Stavanger. Pours hazy dark amber with off-white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, pine needles, some malty notes. Tastes bitter with little sweetness. Medium bodied, bitter finish.

Boks fra Vinmonopolet Tromsø - Langnes. Drukket på Lillehøgda. Mørk rubinrød. Klar! Middels høyt kremaktig skum som daler sakte. Tynn lacing. Aroma av karamell & søte bær. Smaken tørket frukt. Blir veldig tørr etter hvert.

Bottle from Salt Horse. Hazy amber body with a thick, lasting beige head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of wood, toffee and strawberry. Flavour of caramel, fig, liquorice and menthol. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Well balanced and moreish. I love a hoppy Amber Ale / Red IPA.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max's place. Thanks Lior D. Amber. Malt, caramel, stale hops, sweetish, bitter finish. Not fresh enough.

On tap at Vrteška 2017, shared with Višnja 666! Clear amber, off-white head. Good malt profile, fruity with some alcohol. Strong and toasty, even roasty. Medium body, average carbonation, light roasty finish. Good one, although not very special.

On tap at Vrteška. Thanks... someone... :D Clear amber body, off white head that went away fast. Oily malty aroma, light tangerine. Light malty taste, vague flowery and citric hoppy undertones. Yeah, not an IRA, closer to an Amber Ale. But meh however you put it.

Draft at Craft & Draft. Hazy amber brown with a thick tan head. Aroma of malt, caramel, resinous hops and fruity hops. Flavour is above moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with a resinous juicy hop coating palate and soft carbonation.
