Fra håndpumpe på Charlie’s Bar, København juli-14: lys, med kort skum. Duft av stikkelsbær og kiwi. Smaken har i tillegg litt furunål. Frisk og god, og den slanke kroppen gjør det enkelt å slurpe i vei. Lang, frisk middels bitter ettersmak.

500ml bottle. Clear, orangey golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fading, white head. Fruity and hoppy aroma takes the British road, crossing (or passing) gooseberry, kiwi, woodruff, biscuit malt, American detour via pine. Taste is mild bitter hoppy, minimally tart, fruity-spicy, gooseberry, woodruff, slightly grassy, herbal and piney. Relatively light body, not much of a finish. Faint DIPA.

Bottle @ Vinens Verden, Odense. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Grapefruit, citrus and a gentle whisper of crackers and grass. Smooth and dry with a perfect level of carbonation. Very drinkable.

(bottle conditioned) Slightly hazy, golden colour with a blond and short foamy head. Fresh and fruit-accented hoppy aroma with notes of citrus, grapefruit and some tropical notes of lychee, accompanied by a mildly malty background. Moderately bitter and delicately sweet flavour, medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Dry malty base with mainly fruity and delicately resiny hoppy notes; moderately bitter and fruity hoppy finish with hints of booze and a tinge of spruce. A rather simple but also enjoyable IPA. 30.V.14

Bottle from SuperValu, Longford [310514]
Golden, slight haze, large frothy white head that dissipates, some lacing
Aroma - Lots of citrus grapefruit, lychee, sweet fruity malts, nice fresh aroma
Taste of lychee, grapefruit, some mango, orange, sweet fruity pale malts, alcohol is a bit noticeable though but a really good fruity flavour
Palate - soft carb, light to medium body, sweet malts, bitter zest hops. Finish is a little dry, quite bitter, some bitter orange zest, cleans off palate well
Overall - Surprisingly lighter in body than expected, perhaps slightly boozy - maybe better if brewed around the 6.8% mark (but certainly wouldn’t be DIPA then) - good tasty fruits in here

500ml bottle. Golden amber colour, foam white head leaving alittle lacing and aroma of hoppy fruity orange and grapefruit. Taste is sweetish malt caramel with a juicy orange citrus woody pine hop bitterness. Slightly oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter warming finish. Very drinkable.

Doftar inget. Smakar jävlar sött åh avslaget. påminner starkvin en Mariestad med några droppar vitt vin i. Ja den jävligaste misslyckade IPA jag någonsin druckit. De klassar den som double IPA . Ha ha. Lämnade 3/4 av glaset ifall någon Mariestad fantast kanske få tag i den.

Bottle. Golden beer with a strong white head. The aroma is lightly hopped, the flavour is quite bitter with quite a dry fruity hopped finish. Overall a nice beer, not as bitter as I was expecting. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottled at Beer Hunters. Clear golden color, small white head. Perfumic, pineapple aroma. Medium-bodied. Pineapple juice, a bit harsh, grapefruity flavor. Dry aftertaste. Could have more freshier taste.
