Sometimes, the English language just doesn’t have a word for something. There are words like YOLO, twerk, and OMG, but for some reason there isn’t a plural word for “you.” Sorry, but “ya’ll” or “youse” or even “you guys” doesn’t quite fill the lexical gap. Our Lexical Gap IPA is straight west coast, you guys (see what we did there?). Brewed with massive amounts of Citra, Centennial, Simcoe, and Columbus hops, finding a word to describe your gratification might be pretty tough. Most expletives, however, will probably suffice

Can. Pours hazy very dark yellow/orange with a very small frothy beige head, faint piney aroma, low carbonation, bitter orange peel taste with faint piney flavor, thin body, long bitterish finish. A good American IPA.

16 ounce can at Marriott in Downers Grove, Illinois. Medium gold pour. Large bubbly beige head. Fragrant citrus hop nose. Notes of dank citrus and pine. First sip brings bittersweet hops and toasted malt. Notes of bitter grapefruit ab cracked peppercorns. Sharp and distinctive with resinous notes. At 85 IBU's this is a hop lovers nirvana. Long dry bitter finish.

33cl bottle from Alko Stockmann, Helsinki. Pours slightly hazy orange to amber with a fairly small, off-white head. Fruity and solidly hoppy aroma with a fair amount of tropical fruits, some citrus, pale malt and hints of herbs and alcohol. Medium sweet with fruity and hoppy flavours and a balanced bitterness. Balanced and easy to drink. Rather nice.

Aroma has tropical fruits and fruit juice. Flavour has fruit juice, tropical fruits, alcohol, some biscuits and fruit candy. Strong bitterness in the finish with some menthol tones. Very fruity, very juicy and very American.

A hazy, quite light yellow, a head is medium and almost white. Aroma has quite fresh, grapefruits and citrusfruits, also tropical peaches and papaiyas, medium fructose. Taste is piney and grapefruity, only some tropical fruits, strong bitterness, fructose and slightly caramelly sweetness is nicely balancing the bitterness. The bitterness is greatly long lasting. Medium bodied, balanced carbonation. Strongly bitter and less aromatic but that’s still enough, tasteful beer.

(Can, 0.473 l - importer reports the BBE date to be 31/10/2016, from Alko, 20160122) The beer poured amber and lightly hazy. Its head was medium sized, white and it lasted long. Aroma had fruitiness, creamy toffee and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, citricness, malts, sweetness and biterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A pleasant hoppy brew.

Can from Alko. Pours slightly hazy deep golden with a thin but lasting white head. I like the smoothness here, nice biting fruity bitterness but also quite smooth and round. Loaded with citrus and mango like sweet fruits. Piny hops as well in flavor. Grassy finish, bit oily. Really good IPA.

473ml can from Alko(!)

BBE 31/10/16 (importer’s label) - Pours orange with a smooth white head. Aroma of chewy grassy hops, citrus, pine, resin, toffee, caramely malts and fruits. Taste is sweetish, hoppy and grassy with loads of pine, resin, fruits, some caramely malts and citrus. Finish is hoppy, piney and resinous with some fruits, caramely malts and dry bitterness. Pretty good piney and resinous IPA, surprisingly tasty despite it’s probably not super fresh.
