Light haze on this gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Spicy pine snout. Palate is light, mildly dry and has decent fine carbonation. Light malts, sweetish but not overly so. Spicy pine hop start, mellow hop skunk. Orange and a little orange peel. Mild tropical fruits. Smooth semi dry finish. A very light DIPA and with all flavours in good balance, it’s dangerously drinkable. Lovely stuff.

American beers tasting at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Color is golden with white foam. Aroma is still citrus, but also worth some sweetness coming up from the honey. Taste is consistent, with an enjoyable mix of bitterness and sweetness. The bitterness is moderately persistent in the mouth. This beer hides at 9.5 alcohol incredibly well. It only comes up somehow in aftertaste. Great beer. -- rated with beerbasher/winphone

Fat på Bryggarnas ölbar . Grumlig ljus i modern New England stil. Smakar jävulskt gott av Annanas, lite apelsin, lite vindruvor. Mycket frukt i munnen å perfekt kolsyrad å magiskt balanserad beska. Åh nej du känner INGET av alkoholen 9,5%. En av de bästa Öl jag druckit på lääänge.

Drucken på Brewakival 2016. Smak och doft av humle, mango, gräs, aprikos och grapefrukt. Bra balans, fruktig, torr, frisk, lagom sötma, rejäl beska med smak av citrusskal och tall.

(650ml bottle from boxbeers.dk) Pours hazy medium orange with a moderate head of fine white bubbles with lots of lace. Aroma is very big juicy grapefruit, pineapple, melon, with light passion fruit, pine needle and honey sweetness, dank overtone. Taste is powerfully juicy as well, sweet but not cloying thanks to the honey’s delicacy in lifting the fruit. Notes of peach, melon, grapefruit, mandarin, dank diesel weed, light pine. Finish is quite dry, moderately bitter, slight spiciness to the otherwise fruity lingering hop notes, bare touch of the ABV. A very nice DIPA indeed, very juicy but still with good bitterness, not bone dry but definitely not cloying. Fresh taste for the right side of the pond, too.

Bottle @ Boxbeers. Hazy golden wit a creamy lasting white head and handsome lacings. Fresh and juicy tropical fruit and just a touch of honey dew. Sweet, sticky, oily and bitter. Intense and just plain goodness! Killer brewery!
