IPA is the King of Craft beer and this IPA is Heart of Darkness flagship. A mixture of the great Columbus and Cascade IPA hops provide piney, citrus flavours with hints of bergamot and grapefruit. A big, hoppy beer which is not for the faint of heart. Recommended for experienced Craft beer drinkers and those that can appreciate big, bold, bitter flavours.

Smell of spruce. Clear golden colour, high white head. Aroma of spruce, citrus peel, some earth in finish. Rather barbed. Very bitter, fizzy carbon.

Bottled 330ml (Alko web)
Amber colour, small steady white head and lace. Aroma has pine and resin, slightly bready. Medium-bodied. Flavour is resiny and piney - description says bergamot, I can understand why, that kind of tea citrus too. Ok old school IPA.

33cl bottle from Alko, Helsinki. Pours clear deep golden to amber, with a lasting, off-white head. Fresh, fruity and hoppy with citrus, pine and a pleasant malty background. Smooth, strong and flavourful, but balanced. Surprisingly tasty and enjoyable.
