473ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Frothy white head slowly diminishing over a cloudy golden body, lacing rings down the glass. Fresh fruity hops on the nose, tropical scent, inviting. Rather succulent fruity taste of orange, peaches, and apricot followed by a mid-dry piney touch to the ending, discreet bitterness to it. Medium bodied. Pleasingly refreshing. (Tromsø 22.09.2019).

Shared US pint can. Cloudy pale yellow colour, white head. Lovely aroma of spruce, citrus zest and tropical fruits. Refreshing flavour, with the same elements as the aroma.

Maritim minirating på Fridtjofen sep-19: 0,473 boks fra statens helsekostutsalg i Sadnnes. Superfrisk og fruktig anslag som varer så lenge man ønsker, dvs helt til bunns. Tropiske frukter, ananas, aprikoser, fersken og mere til i eleghgant balanse med maltkropp og humlebitterhet. Aah og mm rundt bordet, og det tiltredes herved. Uklar korngul med fint skum som varer. Et kognitivt støttehjul.

Crisp golden and light copper coloured body with a smooth and relatively thick tan head, about three centimetres tall. Aroma of citrus, grass, hay, light earth and a touch of light sugars from caster sugar on the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy profile at first with a biscuity bite from the malts with some yeast and grain noticeable showing some light nutty flavours and a smoother, but full-flavoured hop profile that shows dry characteristics and a bit of floral and herbal flavours at the very end. Aftertaste shows the bitterness, but a lot of sugars and sweetness on the edges with a touch of dry malt and a soft complexity fromt he floral and grassy notes at the very end. Overall, a nice and complete plain IPA that shows the typical profiles with a good bitterness, albeit on the lighter side of things showing a crisp hop profile that ends nicely. I sampled this sixteen ounce, tall, can purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Union Square), New York on 08-June-2019 for US$4,99 sampled on the streets of New York on 08-June-2019 just a few hours later.

Can at Beer Culture. Hazy pour. Tons of fruity sweetness. Pretty good, but needs a little bitterness.
