Bottled (Alko Web). Orangeish golden colour with a small white foamy head. Aroma is fruity, floral, some toffeeish and mild sweet notes. Flavour is fruity, floral, some alcohol and mild sweet malts. Quite pleasantly balanced.

Amber or slightly lighter than amber, with about one finger and a half of rather thick white head. Decent retention and lacing. Average intensity in the aroma. A grainy/crackery malty base with the slightest caramel hint is overcome by resinous/piney notes, with sweet jam-like fruity notes (grapefruit and stone fruits) to complement. Taste notes follow the aroma closely, with slightly disappointing intensity. In terms of sweet/bitter balance, there's a bittering edge in both taste and aftertaste, with a fairly dry finish/aftertaste that leaves a floral hoppy note. Medium bodied with average, fairly fine-bubbled carbonation; pretty easily drinkable for the abv, but that's something i expect from a double ipa. Overall an ok example of the style, failed to impress me.

330 ml tap. Unclear pale amber, small head. Resin, pine, grapefruit, tangerine, caramel, lemon juice, fructose. Hoppy bitterness, caramel sweetness. Full bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, hoppy bittersweet finish. Nice DIPA, very hoppy, moderately sweet, alcohol well hidden, easy to drink.

Golden colour, small white head. Citrus, resin and some tropical fruits in the nose. Light to medium-bodied. Citrus and pine in the flavour. Malt profile on the pale side. Very good drinkability and hides its 8%. Brut West Coast IPA.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, orangey golden colour with huge, frothy, slowly osteoprosing, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy, piney and slightly tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of grapefruit and lemon, hints of mango, a touch of pineapple, pale malty background, minimally waxy, hoppy overtones. Taste is bone dry, bitter, slightly citrusy hoppy, minimally waxy and zesty notes of lemon, lemon peel, some grapefruit, some resin, some pine, a woody touch of pineapple, dry, pale malty basis without residual sweetness. Water texture, slightly astringent palate. Very dry and bitter, not overly fruity. I'm not totally excited - but I have to admit I hadn't the freshest example.

Draft glass @ Beerlovers Bar. Hazy orange, creamy white. Nose is nice classical orange peel, peach, fruity, West Coast old way,… Taste is bit grainy, overripe fruit, grain, sweet overripe fruit, basic, bit too yeasty but fair nice stone fruit format bit mild old school DIPA.
