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.

Vocation Life & Death "Classic IPA"
Can at home. Hazy murky dark yellow color, white head. Aroma is sweet oranges, fruity. Flavor is malts, hops, sweetish fruity a bit. Not that classic I'd say but quite alright in the end. 5-7-7-8-7,5

Can at Goblet. Shared with Hrabren though he doesn't know it yet. Hazy yellow body, white head. Pungent honey and lychee aroma. Simple but works, feels fresh. Lean, soft taste, sweetish honey and lightly grainy taste, ah, subtle fruity undertones saving it slightly. Good cheapo overall!

--Canned at Restaurang APA, Sundsvall. -- Clear golden, rich head. Aroma of mango and citrus. Sweet with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Fruity with mango and tangerine. Mid bitter finish. Rather generic.

very hoppy aroma, but almost citrussy and lemongrassy, it's like it is ramped up so much it gets citrussy. shortly after the pour it does not feel as agressive as the initial impression. then it's fresh herbal, almost a bit grassy. the malts are crisp and not very prominent. flavor is herbal and sweet, like herbal tea, with a very decent crisp slightly sweet malty base. fainter citrus/oranges candy like notes. clearly drinkable but just a bit off world class.
