Copper colour with light haze and dense head. The aroma is strong with plenty of tropical fruits. By comparison the flavour is a little muted. Caramel, resin, bittersweet.

Can from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a hazy medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is big resin hop. The flavour is medium to strong bitter with a rich wooded malt hoppy bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A real hop bucket, but that works for me.

Can. Nice deep amber with full off-white head. Leaves big lacing. Caramel at first, with some slight toasted notes and nuts. Then big bitter hops, some grapefruit and flowers, but not really very aromatic more bitterness. Nice fresh light finish with again some flowery notes and slight bubblegum. Medium to full bodied with full carbonation. Very nice stuff.

Burk från craftbeer/galatea via SB. Klar, bärnsetnsfärgad med högt och gräddigt skum. Fin humledoft med mycket grape, tall och lite tropisk frukt i bakgrunden. Rejäl kropp och tydlig beska. Karamell, tall, grape och lite resin i beskan. Bra straight forward västkust-IPA. Eftersmaken lite småunken med trött humle, annars helt okej.

Thanksgiving day lunchtime warm up, can split at Christine and Daves thanks to DLJ, 28/11/13. Lightly hazed orange amber with a decent sized light beige covering that dissipates but stays for the show. Nose is caramel malt, bitter orange, toasted malt, citric dipped straw, light red grapefruit strains. Taste comprises orange pith, pine bite, caramel malt, light floral hoppings. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, grassy hop bitterness in the finish. No world beater but an easy drinking tasty enough IPA that proves good vfm in a six pack.

Can at Xarcuteria, Stockholm. A bit hazy orange with a medium head. Aroma and taste of hops, fruit, some malt, biscuits and some light notes of hay. Not that bitter. An ok IPA although not a brilliant one.
