Big on hoppiness: both in aroma and taste with citrus and floral notes. Also big on mouthfeel. Bitterness is balanced by classic U.S. IPA malt backbone.

Hazy golden with a white head. Sweet citrus aroma with some strange smoky notes. The taste is rather dry, very little malts, the resiny zesty bitterness takes over right from the beginning. Simple.

Nice full bodied with lots of malt back bone, which is very clean. Decent fruitiness. Straight forward, slightly sweet but enjoyable IPA

I’ve recently had a couple of bottles at Pulp Pub, Athens. Average creamy white head, good lacing, clear medium body, dark amber color. Interesting aromas, average malt presence (grain, hay, straw). Average hop presence (mainly floral, pine, citrus, grapefruit and lemon peel). Some hints of apple taste and aroma, thin texture, lively carbonation, bitter finish, citrusy aftertaste. Excellent choice!

Towering, dense off-white head, slowly receding with lacerings over clear amber beer. Bit milky, sweet tubers; bit soupy nose. Not much in the way of hops... Again soupy, spicy. It’s bitter, but not hoppy in my book. Some background sweet malts. Metallic-bitter finish; acquiring a bitter almond flavour. Astringent, medium bodied, slick. Pfui..

Flaske (batch 0154) fra Holmens importkoffert, delt med Ovesen 17.5.: lett uklar kobber med film/gardinskum. Intens humlearoma med massevis av citrus, furunål, tropiske frukter og malt. Smaken følger opp - dette er en meget kompetent american ipa, og du trenger slett ikke ha hatt en tøff dag på jobben for å nyte denne i små slurker. Bitterhet som minner om engelsk marmelade i den lange avslutningen, og i de siste slurkene var det gress som domminerte .

Bottle from Oddbins Beer Shop, Blackheath. Bright gold pour with a white head. Aromas of pineapple, nectarine, bags of tropical fruit. Long, intense fruit infusion up the old nasal passage. Fruit laden flavours of pineapple, mango and tangerine. Long, sweet fruit linger. Good stuff.
