This West Coast IPA with big pineapple and watermelon character and a nice crunchy bitterness to finish. Best enjoyed fresh and cold!

440ml can shared with Jan Oscar at Cafe Sånn. A rocky white head leaving crocheted lacing on the glass. Cloudy golden body. Pineapple aromas, slightly perfumed. Succulent hop fruity taste of pineapple and orange. Smooth, decent fruity bitterness to the aftertaste. Fine depth. Likable.

Original review text: 440ml can bought at Gulating Ølutsalg in Tromsdalen. Steady white head over a cloudy yellow-gold body, spotty lacing. Quite promising hop fruity aromas, peachy with a citric scent. Canned fruity flavours, juicy oats beneath. Soft, fruity bitterness to the ending. Fine match with our Sunday roasted chicken dish. Pretty alright. (Tromsø 20.11.2022).

440ml can. Quite a hazy/murky pale golden for a west coast IPA, big white head with good retention. Aroma of grapefruit, pineapple, orange, pine. Taste of bittersweet citrus, pineapple, grapefruit, orange, piney and resinous, decent bitterness, dry fiinish. Medium body. Excellent west coast IPA.

Draught (Beards & Boards, Southampton) - Hazy light orange. Grapefruit, orange, peach and tropical notes feature both in the aroma and the taste.
