Flipside is an easy-drinking IPA with the perfect balance between hops and malt. It features just enough smooth and slightly sweet malt body to support huge citrusy and tropical fruit-forward hop flavors from Simcoe, Citra, and Centennial hops.

Looks really great with a fine hazy amber body and a fine tan head. Nice lacing. Inviting aroma. Grapefruit hoppy, bready and fruity. Medium + body. Tad sweet and a fine bitterness. Lovely flavor. Fruity, grapefruit hoppy, malty and bready. Wonderstuff.

355ml bottle thanks to djoeye for sharing. Dense, bubbly, fawn coloured head that stayed well over a misty amber coloured body. Good lacing. Malt-fruity aroma with fruity hops to the fore. Nice flavour profile of red orange, forest, caramel and almond. Smooth fruity bitterness to the finish. Rounded on the palate. Fine bodied. Likable (Tromsø 05.12.2014).
