Three kilos of hops and forty kilos of barley selflessly give their lives to brew every barrel of this beer. It’s a lot to ask, but their reincarnation as this life-affirming IPA makes their sacrifice worthwhile.

A ballsy, US style IPA, expect flavours of tropical & citrus fruits, with a lingering bitterness set against a smooth malty backbone.

0,33 can. Opálos szalmasárga szín, szép, sűrű, tapadós hófehér hab. Aroma: lime, grapefruit gyümölcsösség, közepes illat-intenzitás, picike finom élesztősség, amúgy letisztult. Korty: nem túl testes, jó firss, üdítő. Tiszta hatású, inkább lime-ra emlékeztető trópusi gyümölcsösség, gyenge citromossággal. Keserűség IPA szinten kevés, inkább egy session jellegű ízesített, finom, de nem igazán komlós IPA. Lecsengéskor kis malátás édesség.

Nafta, białe winogrona, cytrusy, tropiki. Barwa jasnozłota, przejrzyste, trwała piana, ładny lacing. Goryczka zaznaczona, cytrusowa. Wytrawne, wszystko ładnie zbalansowane, cytrusy wychodzą trochę bardziej na pierwszy plan, soczyste, owocowe. Bardzo dobrze się pije.

Color anaranjado, nebulosa, espuma blanca, firme y bien retenida. Aroma herbal, afrutado y cítrico, con buen fondo resinoso. En boca es jugosa, en la misma linea que su aroma, fresca, bien lupulada, muy rica

330 ml can, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6.5%. Unfiltered and unpasteurised. Golden colour, slightly hazy. Large white head. Strong hoppy aroma of tropical fruits, citrus and pine. Slightly dry flavour, still with some residual sweetness. Hoppy flavour, notes of tropical fruits and pine needles, fairly bitter finish. A decent US style IPA.
