Taster at Väsen. Kviek yeast rules the day here. Light and fruity, smooth, sweet. Very approachable and mild, but packing an invisible punch. Easy to drink and but watch out.. smooth, sweet.

Slightly hazy copper, bronze and golden coloured body with a bit of a deeper copper and orange tint, all with a very nice three to four centimetre tall, microfoamed tan head that stays afloat for a long time - nice! Aroma of oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, malt, mangoes, juice, light flowers and a touch of grass - fairly nice and very fruit-forward and new school IPA-y. Medium-bodied; Super rich orange, tangerine and fruit juice flavoured with a light acidity, but very smooth sweetness and a subtle malt that shows up and fades fast and almost no alcohol noticeable at all - like around 4 per cent! There is also no astringency or pungency either - this is all fruity, easy-drinking, yet flavourful! Aftertaste is rich from the pungent oranges and mangoes, but again, showing no pervasive bitterness or alcohol, hardly any malts, but some nice complexity from the hops. Overall, an amazing, VERY easy drinking Imperialish IPA that tastes like a Light IPA with a great body, but tons of fruit flavours and sweetness. One of the best I've had from Vasen and they've had some pretty good IPAs in the past! Go out and try to find this one, then drink it fresh...I'm going to look for some more of this one! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 04-September-2020 for US$5,03 sampled at my house here in Washington on 23-September-2020.

Draught at the source: pours haze with white head. Aroma is generally fruity, somewhat tropical, Kveik noticeable plus hints of coniferous tree. Taste is sweet, yeasty, fruity, and lightly piny. Interesting and tasty.
