"Hops have taken over the world. Permeated the senses of the minions. Hop Zombies now roam the streets. Lupulin ichor oozing from ravaged legions. Gorging, gouging, masticating. Salivating over insane hop flavours and aromas. The time is nigh. No more festering away in hopless oblivion. Join the Hop Zombie Revolution."

Smak och doft av humle, malt, citrus, tropisk frukt, granskott, grapefrukt med toner av jäst och resin. Fruktig, frisk, lagom söt, välbalanserad med en god pepprig beska med smak av grapefrukt och tall. En väldigt fin DIPA.

500ml bottle @ Hilpeä Hauki, Helsinki
Pours dark orange with a white head. Nice aroma of exotic fruity hoppiness, raw hop cones, grass, citrus and crisp maltiness. Taste is slick, hoppy and exotic fruits and caramely maltiness. Finish is slick, fruity and zesty with some hoppiness and maltiness. Alcohol is quite well hidden, but could’ve used perhaps a bit more bitterness to make this even better for my taste. Still a very good DIPA, though.

50 cl bottle @ Hilpeä Hauki, BBE 17.09.2014
Aroma is very fruity with fresh hops, caramel and resiny malt. Flavour has caramel, some gluey tones, fruity hops and pineapples. Aroma was better than flavour (which isn?t bad either.) Gets some licorice aromas with sediment added.

(Bottle, 0.5 l - BB 170914, at Hilpeä Hauki, 20140326) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, mango, creamy toffee, pine and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, creamy toffee, sweetness, citricness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, sweet and bitter. A very well done double IPA: balanced with pleasant hoppiness and strong body.

Bottle, thanks Eddan. Clear dark golden with a small white head. Nice fresh aroma and taste of hops, grass, grapefruit, orange and caramel. The finish was bitter. A tasty one.

Froma 500ml bottle on 18/10/2013. pours a clear deep golden orange wth a medium, somewhat uneven, head. Has a sublime aroma of passionfruit, lychee and other tropical fruits.This is an imperial IPA where the fruit dominates, with loads of orange, mandarin, tangerine, lemon and grapefruit present. There is a bit of caramel malt in the background, but it’s primarily a citrus war - sweet vs bitter fighting out an honourable draw. The bitterness is big and lingering, but it needs to be to provide the balance. The palate is quite syrupy and the carbonation medium. An Outstanding beer.
