A really tasty and nice beer. A bit to much butterscotch for my likings. But still a good one.
Hazed golden color with a fine frothy white head. Looks good. Good intensity in the aroma. Medium + body and a fine smooth carbonation. Decent balance between sweetness and bitterness. Well masked alcohol. Grapefruit hoppy, butterscotch, pine and tropical flavor.

Lys brun klar med høyr offwhite skum. Lukter sydhavsfrukter, sitrus, ananas, fudge, blomster og gress. Middels pluss i fylde. Bittersøt smak. Sydhavsfrukt og bitter sitrusskall, grapefrukt. Bitterheten sitter lenge.

0.355l can. This one pours a deep blurry, almost cloudy looking straw golden colored body with a nice old big off-white lacing and dotting head. Really enjoying the aroma. It's deep, really hoppy, piney and citrus strong. Almost a little lemon-like. Grapefruit and sweet melon. Really nice indeed. Lots of good things in the taste also. Almost a little licorice like due to the hop combo. Sometime get that in dipas. It's nice and oily in the mouth and it's just below average on the carbonation. It's hefty piney, almost birchy with more of that strong sticky hoppy goodness found in the aroma. Citrus bitter and somewhat fruity. A really good tasting moreish one. 09.07.2016

Bottle sample tasted at BBF Lab Madrid 2016 on the 02/07/2016. Hazy orange-pale colour with a low white head. Aroma has pine and hops with tropical fruits and tangerine. Taste has a lot of dark fruits upfront, tropical fruits in the background, loaded with hop but the bitterness is well balanced with the subtle honey sweetness. Medium carbonation and hoppy finsh. Next one please!

Pours golden yellow, white foam. Aroma is brisk and refreshingly hoppy. Some tropical ruit sweetness there but definitely dominated by hops.Pine-needle freshness. Taste is also hoppy but superbly balanced and drinks really easy - 8% is nowhere to be seen, this really compares well with the best double IPA’s that I have tried - smooth, almost not even noticeable body, well hopped and perfectly balanced.

Can from Deeside Drinks Emporium. Clear golden/amber body with a medium white head. Steady carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of pine, orange, tomato juice and grapefruit. Flavour of nettles, honey, resinous hops and a peppery finish. Medium body with a very oily texture. Soft fizz. Delicious hop juice.

Small yellowish-tinted, irregular head over veiled orangeish yellow beer. Aromatic, fruity, but also rather cheesy hops’ nose, and not very lasting. Bitter-metallic, citruszeste. Again a bit green-mold cheese flavour, trickling into the aftertaste. Very slick, but not much more than medium bodied. Light alcoholhint. Hardly more than average, not my taste.
