Drucken på Saiko i Malmö. Bärnstensfärgad, relativt klar vätska, lågt skum. Ingen stor humledoft men lite tall och citrus. Spännande smak. Mer åt engelsk IPA med en cedertvist. Ctrius, aningen tall, lite blommor och så en kryddig träsmak från ceder som påminner om ingefära, kanal, sandelträ och tallbark. Funkar mycket bra ihop, ja t o m gör den annars ganska anonyma IPA:an

A hazed orange amber ake with a thin off white head, deposits at bottom of glass. In aroma, sweet vinous malt, lightly maderized, light terpentine and menthol, not bad. In mouth, a nice sweet malt with mint notes, umami notes, grassy hops, quite nicer. Tasted March 2013. April 2020 Bb November 2010. Still good, but cedar wood is coming through nicely, nice caramel malt with light grassy hops, pleasant.

0.33l bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. This one pours a cloudy light copper colored body, tons of particles floating around and it has a small quickly sidesticking just off-white head. A bit low and non IPA-ish on the aroma, I get some fruitiness but it's subtle, it's somewhat sweet and almost floral. Also there are hints of mango and peach. Nice enough. It's also quite on the sweet side in the taste. A bit to caramel-sweet if you ask me. Peaches and concentrated sweet honey melon. Subtle hoppy but still bitter. A strange interpretation on a IPA if you as me, but also a bit interesting. 25.07.2012
