ABV: 6.5% IBU: 50 Ticks: 198
A powerful and hoppy IPA that uses a blend of American hops, giving the beer a fresh citrus and grapefruit punch. Contains barley malt.

Taste: Initially pink grapefruit juice will wash over your tongue, with a zing of lively carbonation that follows you all the way down. Lime zest and even a hint of peppercorn can be found if left on the tongue, before the massive mango kick knocks through your teeth.

330ml bottle. Pours a hazy orange-gold with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Sweet aroma of pale malt, caramel, papaya, peach, apricot and grapefruit. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, grapefruit, orange peel, peach and tropical fruit with a dry, bitter grass finish. Medium body with an oily to almost watery texture and soft carbonation.

Kicsi, gyorsan elillanó hab, félbarna szín. Déligyümölcsös, citrusos illat. Citrusos, déligyümölcsös, fenyős ízek. Közepesen testes, enyhén szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Nagyon jellegzetes, jól összerakott IPA.

0.33l bottle from #348. This one pours a cloudy deeper orange golden colored body, not much of a head - only a small film on the top. It smells quite sweet. Peach sweet and hoppy. A little apricot and sweet canned generic fruits. Yeah, somewhat inviting but perhaps not super fresh. As expected, not much action on the carbonation and it has a nice oily texture in the mouth. A little medicinal in the taste. Sweetish again, lots of peachy tones. Long bitter tail and it's almost a little alco strong on the swallow. Leaving a dry mouth. Nice enough. 13.04.2017

Uklar brun farge med fingerhøyt hvitt skum. Lukter av malt, karamell. Lite fylde, noe krydret i smak. Mild og noe vannete i ettersmak.

Bottle at home. Has a slightly hazy dark copper colour. Aroma of pine, grapefruit, caramel and some bread and diacetyl. Lots of pine in the flavor as well along with grapefruit, peaches, grass and hay in the end. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and bitterness. A both hoppy and malty IPA.

330 ml bottle. Quite sweet and malty for an IPA without so much hoppy aroma or flavor. I suspect this might be a bit over the top, the label says Best before 23/05-17 and I had this 17/02-17. Still within the date with good margin so I will rate it and hope to re-rate at another occasion. Almost clear amber body with a moderate sized off-white head. Aroma is mostly malty with toffee, caramel, ripe fruit, pine and some grass. Flavor is quite sweet malt, toast, caramel, orange zest, some kind of mature fruit and grassy, mild bitterness. Fine body and malty aftertaste with some grassy bitterness.
