Pine and citrus filled nose from the American hops. Malt sweetness in there as well. Drinkable hop juiciness is the key while remaining balanced with ample caramel presence.

It is said that the return of the HopDevil doesn’t mark the end, but rather the beginning. Each year he comes back to the hop harvest, where he thirsts for one thing – that bold hop flavor with notes of citrus and pine. It’s a menacingly delicious IPA brewed with American hops and meticulously crafted. After all, the devil is in the details.

Old rating from 12-01-15 - 355ml bottle brought back by my wife from the States. Poured at home in Jersey. It's light red in colour with a foamy white head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, vanilla, strawberry, honey, orange peel, pine, toffee & malt. Medium body. Medium fruity bitter finish. Outstanding old school IPA

pretty dark for an IPA, not really orange, more of an amber pour. Nice sticky beige head. Very nice solid grapefruit, piney hop aroma. Flavour is extemely well balanced between the hops, and the nice maltiness. Wow, one of the most balanced, and solid IPA’s i’ve had. Notrhing fancy, just well made.

A great aroma comes off a creamy off-white head that slowly snakes down the sides of the glass. There is a slight astringent note that seems to follow the hops bitterness that detracts slightly, and is perhaps the only fault in an otherwise excellent IPA.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Booze and old west coast hops on the nose. Very dark caramel. A meaty profile with mature bitterness. Not my fav tho.

Dark reddish amber with full head. Raisin, fig and pine aroma. Malty taste with Raisin and a distinct bitterness ending.
