Cask at Harrild and Sons, 18/12/14. Clear golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is pale malt, hint of piss, straw, tangerine, earthy hop. Taste comprises citric pith, light bread dough, melon, some hop presence. Medium body, moderate carbonation, semi drying close with grassy hop bitterness. So so - didn’t really deliver in terms of hops or citric refreshment. Pencilled in for a re-rate.

0.33l bottle. Oh, yeah this smells fresh! Really tropical peachy fruit hoppy nose on this. Grassy fresh cut lawn and citrussy goodness. Clementine zest and it just smells really good. Tastes really good as well. In the mouth it has a nice light oily feeling and it's gently carbonated. Yeah, this has to be a fresh bottle. Really flavorful and fresh flavor-vise. Again, grassy and a nice citrus touch all the way. Soft apricots and peach juices. Some line zestiness in the finish. A really refreshing good tasty one! 16.05.2014

Bottle at home from BEER:Shop split with Sarah. Bright golden yellow coloured pour with a lasting frothy white head. Aroma is straw, earthy citrus, with nice melon and peachy hop. Flavour is nice earthy straw, grainy malts, burnt grass, nelson sauvin. Assertive clean bitterness. Palate is medium light bodied with a super dry finish. Medium high carbonation. REally tasty IPA.

On tap ay Café Sara, Oslo. Slightly hazy golden with a white head. Intensely hoppy with citrus, pine, some fruity and herbal notes. Moderate sweet with fresh hoppy flavous and a quite intense bitterness. Delicious!

Bottle sample at a tasting at Beer Market Jaffa. Thanks tomer. Cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma of fruity and slightly "green" hops and a bit of graininess. Grainy flavor with faint sweetness, fruity and "green" hops and nice bitterness. Medium-bodied. Refreshing.

330ml bottle picked up at Vinmonopolet Sentrum Tromsø. Dense, rocky white head with satisfying duration leaving rings of lace down the glass. Close to clear golden coloured body. Rich aroma of lemony hops. Citrus core to the flavour profile alongside notes of mango, peach, and earthy malts followed by a prolonged, semi-dry bitter ending of citrus peels. Well bodied. An IPA to my liking, indeed (enjoyed at home in sunny weather on the balcony, 09.08.2014).
