355ml bottle shared with mjs at Bar Molotow. Clear amber coloured body. Patchy white head leaving crocheted lacing on the glass. Delicate floral hops and pine on the nose. Well blended flavour profile of pine, orange, and juicy malts with bitter citrus peels to the ending. Well bodied. Good drinking. (Pub crawl with mjs, Helsinki 30.11.2017).

(Bottle, 0.355 l - BB 25/01/18, at Bar Molotow, 20171130) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, grass, sweetness and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A pleasant balanced hoppy pale ale.

Yet another delicious California IPA, loads of grapefruit and pine on top of a firm caramel-n-biscuit malt base. Slips in some orange marmalade and peach alongside the opening hop salvo, while the middle grows dry and grainy with a rising bitterness. Finishes hoppy as hell with hints of yeast and pepper. Pours a beautiful orange-gold with a massive white head and generous lacing. Grapefruit and biscuit on the nose. Perfect slick, oily IPA texture with just enough sparkle. Damn good pint.

Bottle. Orange with a beautiful big head. Aroma of lemons, oranges, passion fruits, a little bit of pineapple and whole lotta grapefruits. Taste of citrus fruits, mangos, zest, resin, caramel and pine. Long lasting strong bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. Refreshing, delicious and I just want more. Great IPA.
