This is an American adaptation of the India Pale Ale and is normally highly hopped with little malt profile. Our version of this modern classic has a small amount of European malts, to give just a little more malt profile, which we combine with classic New World hops and an American yeast to give a dry finish. It is incredibly refreshing yet with sufficient malt flavours to make the beer balanced and very drinkable. We decided to keep the alcohol level down at 4,5% so you do not have to have a bad conscience having a second, or maybe third, glass.

(330ml bottle from SB web order) Pours lightly hazed medium amber with a small white head and lace. Aroma is fairly skunky hops, green mango, passion fruit cat pee, grapefruit, earthy, a little caramel. Flavour is lighter on hops, grassy, citrus, pine needle, slightly caramel, bread, kind of watery. Bitterness is fairly low and a bit metallic, dry finish. Fairly light bodied with above average carb. Many of the right touchstones are there but just doesn’t ever take off either. The later parts of the mouthful recall the downsides to many session IPAs.

Flaska från SB. Mörkt gyllenfärgad, högt krämigt skum, aningen disig. Fruktig doft av passionsfrukt, ananas, clementin. Lätt kropp, torr, aningen syrlig, smak av orange citruszest, mineraler, citrusblom. Måttlig beska. Jag gillar torrheten men kanske beror den på en väl lätt kropp och dåden bjuder inte riktigt in fruktigheten och smakbilden blir inte riktigt undra. Men med det sagt ändå ganska trevlig.

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Cloudy orange colour, mid sized head. Distinct aroma of tangerine and passionfruit. Sweetish with light body and rounded mouthfeel. Feels somewhat bold and diluted. Tangerine and lemonade. Mid bitter piney finish with lingering resin.
