Bottle (very fresh). Pours with a clear amber and orange body with a large off-white head. Very nice retention. Aroma is delicious simcoe, pine, herbal, fruity, mango and light, dry caramel. Flavor is very strong of pine up front with decent bitterness. Some lingering bitter orange citrus and papaya as well from the hops. Some hard caramel candy notes in the finish. Dry finish, medium bubbles. Really a tasty IPA.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm) Deep amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with orange peel, grapefruit, caramel and a touch of pine needles. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, grapefruit, pine needles and fresh hops in the finish. Well balanced, tasty and solid IPA with a fresh, hoppy bitterness. Medium body, fairly dry. Nice beer.

Bottled ay Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear amber, small head. Perfumy lychee aroma. Fairly sweet. the clean malt acts only as a backdrop to the extravagant hops. where pine needles, shampoo and lychee abound. Finishes bitter, but not to the point you’d expect after the hop aroma.

Bottle courtesy of otakuden. Pours copper color with off white head. Aroma of sweet tangerines. Very bitter flavor. Slight malt sweetness. Medium body with average carbonation. The taste was a bit of a letdown after smelling the nice aroma.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is of pine, good pot. This beer reminds me a lot of my review for Alaskan IPA. It’s a very basic, yet very good example of the style. My favorite Big Sky beer yet out of the variety pack I bought.

Bottled (at Chriso, BB 09/2009). Amber color, small steady white head. Fruity, piney-mango aroma. Piney, mango flavor. A bit sweet. Simple uninspiring IPA. Probably the best as fresh from tap, now just dull.
