Welcome back our boldly hoppy pal. Legendary Cascade hops mix-it-up with assertive Simcoe for a powerful, citrusy and earthy foundation that is galvanized with a big punch of fruity Citra. This IPA packs a hoppy wallop!

Bottle @ Bishops Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm. Hazy yellow color, small white head. Great fruity hoppy smell. Great hoppy, fruity taste as well, with a very long bitter finish. Love it! Fantastic carbonation, spot on right for this beer in my opinion.

Hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is sweet, caramel and rather hoppy - pine needles and grapefruit. Flavor is quite sweet and very bitter. Dry and very bitter finish. 060711

Purchased at Golden Leaf in Chicago, IL; enjoyed on a Tuesday night after getting an oil change and avoiding to run outside which is a very healthy decision. Appearance is pretty much crystal clear golden with a thin white head that dissipates but laces to the glass. Aroma of caramel malts and stinky, ’earthy’ hops, also grapefruit. This is a really flavorful IIPA, starts off with the grapefruit notes and morphs into a piney aftertaste. It’s bitter in the back end, definitely sucks the moisture from your cheeks. This is also very smooth, the 8.5% ABV is definitely masked. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Pours a bright, golden yellow, almost a neon yellow. Nice thick, white head. Floral, citrusy, fresh aroma. Flavors are strong citrus-grapefruit, bitter hops, and a definite sweetness in the finish. This is a very good example of the style.

Bottle, sampled at Stockholm Beer and Whiskey Festival 2010. Pours quite small head. Appearance is orange/golden and clear. Aroma is some citric hops and some sourness. Taste is bitter, hoppy and sweet, quite typical for an IIPA. Palate is light with some carbonation. A bit too sweet for my taste.

22 oz. bottle, pours hazy golden yellow with a white head. Aroma of grassy hops, citrus, grapefruit and bready malt. Flavour of grassy hops, pine, citrus, bread, with a great lingering bitter hoppy aftertaste. I wouldn't say this loves up to its name, but it's a fine IIPA.

Tap at Birreria Paradiso, courtesy of Evan, thank you sir. Clear light yellow, big white head. Aroma of subtle citrus. Taste is solidly bitter but a bit unbalanced. Underwhelming.

Bright fruits, lemon, grapefruit, and light spices in this one. Medium bodied. Some grass thrown in the flavor as well as light sweet malts. Finish has light bitterness. Good.
