Diablo is our flagship IPA, loaded with US hop varieties, dominated by the ‘Citra’ variety. Big tropical flavours & aroma punctuate, mango, lychee & papaya fruits abound, with notes of resinous pine leading to a lasting bitterness. A devilishly good US West Coast inspired IPA.

330 mml bottle tasted on the 17/11/2014. Pale golden colour with a medium off-white head. Aroma is intense hoppy and citrus with some spice too. Taste is hoppy and fruity, with presence of floral and spices. In the fruity taste there are peaches and bananas. Medium carbonation and body with a little sweet aftertaste. Next one please!

Bottle at home. Has a hazy orange color and an off-white-like, creamy foam head that looks nice. A somewhat cautious but fruity aroma of grapefruit, citrus and some dry hay. The taste is more sweet with hoppy notes of grapefruit, grass and pale malt. In the background there�s a form of boiled cabbage and diacetyl. Mouth feel is smooth, and the bitterness felt quite so powerful. A decent IPA that will satisfy anyone who loves hops. For me the beer is a little unbalanced, and there�s some off-flavours.

Kveldens siste flaske delt med Ovesen, og for en avslutning på nok en vellykket bryggerikveld. Vidunderlig aroma og smak av citrus, citrus, citrus (og tropiske frukter). Ikke den minste antydning til furunål, kattepiss eller grønne epler. En ipa midt i blinken for min smak. Utseendet er det heller ingenting å utsette på.

Bottle shared with JMD at HNB 07.10.14. Hazy golden. Foamy off-white head and lacing. Wonderful aroma of grapefruit, citrus and tropical fruits. Similarly fine and well-balanced taste. Bitter citrus in aftertaste.

Nice unclear golden body with a solid white head. Nice lacing. Typical and fresh ipa aroma. Grapefruit hoppy and tropical fruity. The flavor are about the same. Really tasty and fresh IPA. Highly recommendable!
