Flarra. Rätt Klar ljus färg. Doftar Apelsin å nysågad enplanka. Smakar fan apelsin rejält ockdå sen kommer tydlig smak av pilsner och mjöl. Mycket mjöl i eftersmaken ??. Ja färsk flaska men här ingen höjdar Dipa.

Pours a clear, light golden yellow, with full, thick, lasting head. Aroma marked by hops, some citrus, a certain grassiness. Doesn’t really smell like an IPA--more like a pilsner. Flavor is very fruity. Lots of tropical flavors and a distinct sharp finish, again not like the usual IPA. Interesting beer.

Pour is a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is a pungent hop with some melon fruit and berry. Flavor is hoppy and it is a decent hop profile but i was expecting more of a aggressive hop. Finish is more of a dull neutral malt with very little hop bite or biterness. Even though the best by date is not until May 2016 I think this beer needs to be drank super fresh because the hops have already faded. Days after bottling this is probably great but this is drinking more like a pale ale than a IIPA now.

Thanks Gabe! This is delightful. A citrus punch to the taste buds. I'm offended by the name of this mountain.

Bottle. Golden color with a finger of off white head, decent bits of lacing. The aroma is excellent; bright citrus and tropical fruit. Some pine and as it warms the malt base becomes noticeable. Taste is intense hop bitters, hop octane. Lightly sweet. Very good.

12 ounce bottle. Bright yellow gold color. Large foamy white head. Nice lace. Wonderful fragrant hop nose. Notes of tangerine, pineapple and lime. Flavor mirrors the aroma. Add pink peppercorns, grapefruit, toasted malt and boozy notes. Finishes with a jolt of juicy sweet citrus hoppiness. Quite good.

Bottle at home. Hazy golden pour. Nose of juicy fruit gum and florals. Tastes of mango, grapefruit skins, resin, gum, dank, herbal, and maybe cuz it’s in name but I’m getting ranch dressing. Slightly odd plastic aftertaste.

Bottle - hazy gold - fairly thick lace - nose of sweet pineapple, mango, orange, plus some moderate alcohol, some grassy hoppiness - soft carbonation a flavor is a bit peppery and a bit alcoholic, but only mildly so - fairly clean malt character - fairly sweet, but with assertive enough bitterness to balance - a little chalky on the back end, with a bit of aspirin character - moderate tropical flavors - a bit of alcohol heat on the tail end - okay.
