A hop lover’s delight! In the India pale ale tradition, this brew is very hoppy in both aroma and flavor from the generous amounts of Cascade hops used in brewing. Look for a medium to full body and golden straw color.

Clear amber beer. Crispy palate, dry. Quite malty for an IPA. Apart from a trace of bitter orange marmalade there is only bitterness from the hops. Dry finish. Very much like an English Bitter and a pretty average one at that.

Clear copper with a lingering, creamy head. Aroma is earthy and toasted malts. Medium bodied with prickly carbonation. Flavor is more earthy and lightly citrus hops with a hefty english toasted malt back bone. I think the hop profile is muted a bit by the malts. Nothing special here.

Bottle @ home. Copper appearance with an off white head. Dull, earthy hoppy, slightly toasty pale malty aroma. Toasty pale malty, a bit piney, dull earthy hoppy flavor. Drinkable but pretty much sucks. Bleh.

12 oz bottle from Summer Mix pack. Clear yellow with bubbly white head. Nose of Cascade hops. Extremely fresh hops, no bitterness at all. Very light and easy to drink if you are not an IPA’s drinker. Smooth but maybe a bit watery.

(Bottle, Bishop’s Arms North, Stockholm) Dark golden colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, floral nose with notes of citrus, grass and pears. Fruity, floral taste with citrus, canned peaches, gooseberries and slightly resiny hops. Medium body, fairly sweet with a slightly metallic malt profile. Decent IPA.

Clear amber with a white head. Aroma is sweet malty, yeasty and light hoppy - grapefruit. Flavor is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and bitter finish. There was just a month until BB date, so there wasn’t much hoppiness left in the aroma if it was ever there. Disappointing for an American IPA. 160311
