A truly hop forward West Coast IPA that's all about hops! From aroma to taste to aftertaste it's all about those juice and piney American hops!
With a calculated IBU of 666 and a devilishly hidden alcohol content of 9.99% it's a daemonic recipe!
With 22gr/l hop kettle addition from 90min to 45min and a huge myrcene content it's like biting on pine needles! Adding another 15gr/l of dry hops to create a crazy complex aroma with a huge punch of dunk and fruits in your face!

330ml bottle: BB 7th April 2024, drank on my holiday apartment bed 13th October 2022, Nidri. Light haze to the golden body, white headed. Piney, resinous nose and taste, impressive bitterness from start to finish. One of the best Greek beers I've come across so far (this my 80th).

Gresk aften hos Bryne, og vi er godt i gang med å glede oss over innholdet i Odd Gunnars importkoffert (nå en 0,33 flaske): klar gylden med kort skum. Furunål, barskog og appelsinmarmelade. Heftig bitterhet uten at det blir plagsomt, snarere tvert i mot. Burde være tilgjengelig i helsekostutsalg over hele landet.

Bottle. Clear golden color with small white head. Aroma is piney, resinous, pomelo, marmalade. Taste is super clean dry&bitter West Coast IPA, indeed with a strong bitterness and A LOT of flavour. Oily & chewy mouthfeel. What a treat. This is not strong & bitter, it really feels like a 6.5% IPA with more taste. Incredible balance!

Bottle picked up from Kostas and the Kykao Brewery, Patras, Greece and consumed at home Sunday 4th October 2020 listening to some Drum & Bass courtesy of Anastasia and Xenofon, cooking fried potatoes and frying chicken. Pours warm gold with a white head, lots of resinous touches here both in the mouth and on the nose. Nice slick mouthfeel, lovely bitterness, a very good DIPA.
