Lata 50 cl en el señor lupulo Gijón 16..03..2017. (r492). Lote ilegible hasta 11..09..2016 en base. Color ámbar dorado velado con espuma blanca Sabores intensos maltas dulces y frutas tropicales seguidas de intenso herbaceo bastante verde y fresco que junto una dosis de 8 vol de alcohol lo potencian todo fenomenalmente.... Cuerpo intenso algo denso sobre todo al calentar... Bastante buena. Fresca maltosos afrutada e intensa. Para repetir.

(473ml Nov 10/16 can from boxbeers.dk) ~2mo at drinking. Pours a lightly hazed pale orange colour with a moderate white head that fades to a fine cap with lace. Aroma of pink grapefruit peel, resin, underripe mango, strawberry, pine needles, light to moderate caramel sweetness, biscuit. Flavour is rather simple, clean pale malt flavours, light to moderate sweetness, some citrus and fruity notes, light to moderate resin, not much standing out. Finish has some citrus peel and resinous bitterness, hints of pine, and a bit of biscuit malt creeping through, Aftertaste is dry with a bit of astringency and a hint of alcohol. Medium bodied, a little oily, very soft carbonation. Nothing offensive at all, but it never really takes off or develops strong flavours. Freshness likely plays into it.

Can, canned 11/10/2016 (thanks BlazerT). Pours clear amber with whiteish head. The head stays for some time. Aroma is very fruity, pineapple, mango, citrus. Flavor is sweet and bitter, fruits, citrus, pine, malt, sugar. Finish is sweet and piney with slight tingle of booze. Overall: very good, very "american ipa".

Can at Himmeriget. It pours hazy golden - orange with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tangerine, mandarin, marmalade, um bungo, candied peel and brioche. The taste is crisp, dry, very juicy, zesty orange, pithy tangerine, mango, melon, pine, grassy, weedy, pine, alcohol, touch of resin with a lingering bitter - dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty juicy and boosty. Drinks easier than it sure.

16 oz can graciously sent to my by my friend Dan. 12/7/16 printed on the bottom of the can. The pour is a hazed golden orange with a well formed one inch off white head. The head falls with crackling and some nice lace. The aroma is a bright citrus fruit, tangerine and tropical mango pineapple. Additionally, there is a nice caramel cracker malt present under the hops. The taste is the full bodied and fresh fruity hops, big on the tropical mango and tangerine fruit. Following the hops, there is a nice secondary character of the caramel cracker malt base. The palate is medium bodied, with soft natural carbonation, and a bit of a bitter citrus and warming alcohol in finish. Really nice, thanks for sending this my way Dan.

Tasted from the tap on the 18/09/2016. Slightly hazy yellow colour with a creamy white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, intense hops, floral and light pine. Taste is intense hoppy, rich malty and some resin. Aftertaste is medium to high bitter. Next one please!

Drucken på Brewskival 2016. Smak och doft av humle, citrus, granskott, grapefrukt, gräs med toner av tropisk frukt. Torr, frisk, stram, lagom sötma, fin beska med smak av citrusskal och toner av tall. Mums!

Drucken på Brewskival 2016. En torr, stram DIPA med rejäl beska. Trots det ändå plats för en del tropisk frukt och ännu mer zestig lite oljig citrus. Riktigt gott.
