Can shared at home from Himmeriget - hazy orange pour with a white head. Big bold fruity with some grapefruit and mango, pine needles, pineapple, gooseberry, medium body, medium bitter punchy hoppy finish. Forgot how much I love Nelson Sauvin hop forward beers.

Opaque, weedy and a bit piney on the nose. Quite earthy, touch of alcohol, light sweet notes, ok ipa.

Poured up on tap at Toronado San Diego where it exhibits a murky opaque gold body that has copper hues and supports a thin dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up mango, strawberry and tangerine. The taste delivers juicy mango and tangy tangerine. Wow. It's juicy, deep in flavor, soft tropical and bitter citrus. Midway a mild malty sweetness bubbles weakly to the surface. Solid balanced IPA. Yum.
Kinda green

On tap at De Garde 6th Anniversry. Pours a cloudy milky yellow with meodum white head that lasts. The aroma is strong dank and grapefruit. Medium body, dank, earth, melon, grapefruit, very juicy, enjoyed this.

This was off to me vs. all of the other SARA beers that I have had. Moderately hazy yellow with full white head. Originally rated in 2019. Re-rated scores in February 2022. Enjoyed this a lot more and consistent with SARA beers! Moved my score to a middle rating.

From notes, on tap at the Portal. Aroma is rather hoppy with nice Neslon Sauvin notes. Light cracker malt notes. Some white wine, berry and tropical fruit notes. Hints of citrus. Pours a hazy, dull hay color with a small, thick, white head that recedes to a film that exhibits nice persistence. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor has a light to medium light sweetness with light cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness and a hint of alcohol. Fairly strong hop notes with nice fruity character. Some berry, white wine and tropical fruit notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice IPA with a classic Nelson Sauvin character. I love this hop and a nice IPA that features it.
