Can, enormous thanks Sara for bringing it from Sweden! Clear golden body, off-whtie head. Vegetal, herbal aroma, light caramel. Vegetal, sweet, malty taste, resinous notes, almost no bitterness... blargh, this was very much sub par. I can believe it's normally quite nice, but the can I got, likely around 6 months old (with 6 months to go according to the BB date!) neither tasted fresh nor good... The Systemet she got it at probably stored it next to the coal stove or something... Will rerate, hopefully fresh.

Best before 05/23, good job, a perfect west coast ipa with all the qualities that you could expect, fruity, malty, smooth, well balanced with flavour of mango, passion fruit, pineapple, citrus, not a surprise from a serious country in the craft world, 11.03.24, drinking it at Epalinges.

Solid nice ipa.
Clear deep golden and a fine solid head.
Good intensity in the aroma.
Balanced sweetness and bitterness.
Also a fine carbonation level. Easy to drink.
Fruity, citric, pine and a fine malt base in the flavor.

Ljusgul klar vätska med medelfylligt skumlock. Aromer av tall och citrus. Lätt kladdig maltbas med stor fruktighet som balanseras mot en tallig, citrusig beska.

14/VIII/22 - on tap, shared @ Bar Beenhouwer (Gent), BB: n/a (2022-1000)
Clear gold to orange blond beer, creamy dense off-white head, stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: a bit piny, some citrus, orange peel, a bit grassy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very bitter start, lovely, this is a very decent West Coast IPA, good to style, very resinous, bitter hops, a little malty. Aftertaste: hoppy, resinous, very bitter, more resinous, floral notes, a bit grassy, good, decent stuff!

Fľaška zo 100 pív. Vôňa výrazná citrusova. Farba zlatisto medová. Hustá biela pena. Chuť pekná súhra citrusových tónov, ktoré dlho ostávajú na jazyku.
