Flaske fra Vinmonopolet Tromsø - Langnes. Gylden. Helt klar. Høyt luftig skum som daler veldig sakte. Litt filigranser. Aroma av fersken, plommer & aprikos. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken Tørket frukt. Litt tørr etter hvert. Balansert.

Can drunk 3/13/18.
Bright, sunset-orange-golden-amber body shows a light, chill haze and a medium-sized, white head of moderate retention.
Soft, rich, honey-vanilla malts in the nose join forces with incredibly juicy fruit-laden hops. Nectarine, peach, pear, pineapple and mango never contribute any twang or resin. Nothing doughy/yeasty here and no specialty malt to get in the way of the hops or clear, clean force of the base malt. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's soft and malty with good attenuation and long, rich, honey-like malt flavors. Just a hint of grainy cracker to keep it crisp and dry, with juicy, yellow fruits for days and a finishing bitterness of tame but flavorful citrus. Engaging carbonation, no resin, alcohol or flaw. This is the way West Coast IPAs should always be. Shocked how good this was.

355ml can. Clear golden amber with a big frothy off-white head. Aroma is citrusy, grapefruit, orange, pine, caramel. Taste is the same, sweet caramel malts, bitter grapefruit and citrus, orange peel, pine, really bitter hop finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. Quite well balanced, and decent flavour considering this can is almost a year old.

(Bottle) Pours cloudy amber with good off-white head. Lovely aroma - citrus, pine, hint of biscuit. Medium body, excellent carbonation. Lovely fresh start with tangy fruit with a hint of light biscuity malt before the hoppy bitterness starts to develop and grow - which it does forcefully. Maybe a bit too hoppy to be really enjoyable, but nonetheless a good beer.
