19.2oz can from Albertsons. Clear golden pour with a lasting foamy head and active carbonation. Light hoppy aroma, pine, citrus. Taste is more of the classic hop flavors, fruity, light hop resin. Smooth and approachable for a 9.0% beer.

Can: Unexpectedly clear, golden, smaller and quite loose white head, moderate bitter-sweet nose of exotic fruits and a malty base; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, medium to full bodied, soft; drier bitter-fruity finish. Good, but not great...

Can. Hoppy aroma and taste, citrus fruit, resin notes, medium bitter, light sweet notes. Mesium to full body, hoppy fruity bitter finish with light boozy notes. Ok.

OK, this little thing appears scary. Just when you rated a hundred IPA, there's always another and this one is 9%! 2.25 for this at the market district. Pour is virtually clear and the nose is permeating thick citrus. Looks thick & viscous. Very slowly rising bubbles. First taste is boozy gagging IPA hops; makes me cringe, whew. What a smash-mouth set of character. Difficult, rude, negatively nasty. Mouth coating slivering sniveling snash. So ruff, so tuff, so ruff & tuff. Very vagabond vagarious & vain. Vainglorious vampire. Vampy vengeful venomous vexed vicious villainous viperfish. What else can be said? Its kicking my ass. Up yer nose with an alcohol hose. Big fat bad ass brew.

355ml can from Vinmonopolet Nettbutikk. Shared with Finn. Hazy orange coloured body, filmy layer, scattered lacing. Promising smell of apricot and citrus. Balanced taste profile of dried fruits, passion fruit, herbs and cereal malts. Dried fruity ending, lingering. Well bodied. Pretty good, just a bit heavy to drink. (Bergstua, Malangen 15.06.2021).
