en fantastisk armo som är rena fruktcocktailen med mogen ananas, papaya, passionsfrukt och lichi. Smaken når inte riktigt samma höjder men även den är väldigt fruktig, söt, lite jästig som bidrar med en pepprig ton, måttlig beska som är lite gräsig. Jag tycker att den har drag av Alesmiths IPA, men den når inte riktigt ända fram. Väldigt god hur som helst.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Hazy orange/light amber liquid with big off-white head. Aroma is quite tropically fruity with notes of tangerine, grapefruit, mango, pineapple, pine, sweet cereal, herbal hops and marmalade candies. A bit blackberry action as well. Really nice stuff! Taste is dry and medium bitter with a nice, biscuity malt base that supports the hoppy notes (mango, tangerine) well. Some light booze. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Would have never have guessed that is 8%! My bottle says 7.0 though. Very drinkable for the ABV. Just great stuff.

Bottle from Systembolaget, Regeringsgatan. Hazy orange with a large white head. Nice hoppy and fruity aroma in this one. Troical fruits and some pine needles. The taste was good, but not as tasty as the aroma. The finish was dry and rather bitter. Descent stuff.

750ml Bottle -7%. Hazy amber with a foamy head. Pineapple, grapefruit, mango and passion fruit all feature in the enticing aroma. Hoppy, tangy and slightly sweet taste with notes of grapefruit, toffee, mango, peach and passion fruit in the taste. The finish is hoppy and pleasantly bitter with a hint of sweetness.

On tap @ Bangers and Lace. Pours a hazy orange amber with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of citrus and tropical fruit with backing sweet grain. Flavor is light up front with light flora and grain but has a good amount of growing citrus and tropical fruits.
