Tastes like a sunshine infused orchard. Follow our journey as we tweak our way towards the perfect Double IPA. Step by step, beer by beer, on and on. Forever!
This beer was supposed to be brewed in February of 2019. It wasn’t. The government shutdown in the United States ment we couldn’t get labels approved. We had to re-think. Now however, in May of 2019, the United States government isn’t shut down. Labels can be approved and, the beer can be brewed! When we export beer to the US from Sweden we only export beer that travels well. That means imperial stouts and sours. Still, we want people in the US to try our take on hoppy stuff as well. So, together with Twelve Percent Beer Project we’ve started to explore ways for us to brew these kinds of beers closer to where they’re enjoyed. We’ve had all the chats. We found a nice spot. And, now it’s time to get going. Sunshine Orchard is our first US brewed double IPA. We hope you like it!

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Juicy tropical fruit aroma with citrussy hops, orange, citrus peel, some pine, mango, light pale malt. Flavour is moderate sweet and medium bitter with a little hopburn in the finish. Body is medium. Nicely aromatic, flavour could be a bit more smooth.

Can 50 cl. Pours a cloudy, opaque orangey golden - very orange juice like - with a lacing white head. Thick and sweet juiciness - lactose? - and some turpentine. Quite some bitterness hiding under the sweetness. Huge beer. 031023

Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Murky golden body with a thin white head. Lively carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of custard, pineapple and lemon. Flavour of oats, melon rind and a hint of hop burn. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Light fizz. It’s heavily hopped and tingles the tongue.

Can. Mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and a little thin. It's also semi dry but has decent fine carbonation. Slightly thin malts but with a reasonable sweetness. Light thin but fairly crisp pine. Pleasant hoppy citrus, a tad thin perhaps. Nibbly hop spice. Some floral citrus. Whisper of something tropical underneath. Light and reasonably hop spicy finish. Tidy dipa. For me want more hop fruit punch but if this was a dull night out (remember those ?) this beer would keep me from slashing my wrists.
