It doesn’t take a genius to know quality West Coast IPAs require a stupid amount of hops. A generous blend of Nugget hops and the four Cs—Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Columbus—brings forth a myriad of tropical fruit flavors and a brawny, persistent bitterness that makes for a highly intelligent brew.

Bottle @ home, ordered from Craftshack. Pours a bit hazy dark orange appearance with a cream colored head. Caramel, toasted malty, pretty spicy, piney, herbal, bitter hoppy aroma. No date on the bottle, but this doesn’t taste incredibly fresh. A lot of caramel, goopy malt in the flavor along with light grapefruit, pine, and herbal bitterness. A little hot. I imagine that this would be a little better fresh, but honestly, I don’t really dig these goopy IIPAs with lots of caramel.

Draught @ Bishops Arms Gustav Adols Torg Malmö. Clear orange-golden color, medium sized off - white head that lasts for a decent while. Moderate to heavy malty aroma with hops and notes of resin. Taste malts, hops, resin, spruce, very bitter, grapefruit. Sticky texture, resinous bitter aftertaste, medium body, medium carbonation. Nice.

Drucken på fat på Bishop. Vackert kopparröd/bärnstensfärgad. Men ingen stor humledoft- eller smak och tar man bort det från en DIPA så blir det ju bara starkt och sött. Vet inte om jag fick det sista i fatet eller om denna batch blivit sämre än andra. Det jag fick var iaf en riktigt tråkig öl.

Bottle, 12oz. A finger-thick off-white head forms over a lightly hazy golden body. Oranges, citrus peel, pine cones and some generic tropical fruits in the aroma. Some maltyness. The flavor is maybe a bit sweet, but there’s enough bitterness to deal with it. Pale malts, pine cones, orange peel and some canned tropical fruits in the flavor. Full body, with a pleasant carbonation level. Long, bitter and fruity finish. Dangerously easy drinkable this one, and tasteful too. 130809
