Bottle. A small off-white head forms over an unclear orange colored body. Very small head actually, more or less just a film of bubbles. The aroma is quite tropical, with pine cones, orange zest, orange marmalade and some alcohol. Canned peach hints in the far back, but not much maltyness, and well hidden alcohol. It's full-bodied, warming and smooth on the palate, nicely carbonated, with a decent bitterness to deal with the malty sweetness. Orange marmalade, orange zest, pine cones, some canned peach and alcohol in the flavor. Quite sweet, almost sugary, but not really sticky. Lasting hop driven finish with lots of orange zest and pine cones. Must admit I was a bit sceptical about this, at 12%, but it sure works fine. Not a beer I'd place in the NEIPA category though, not at all. Still, one of the best two-digit IPA's I've had in ages. 220209

500ml bottle, #2546, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Pearl white head leaving clingy lacing on the glass, hazy orange-gold body. Quite inviting smell of apricot and ripe orange. Rich blended taste of peaches, apricot, orange jam, and oats. Thick ending of apricot joined by warmth from the alcohol. Quite boozy. Full bodied. Pretty decent sipper on a Friday eve.(Tromsø 28.01.2022).

0,5 flaske fra VP Nett, generøst delt med meg selv: lett uklar oransjegylden med fint skum som varer. Duften frakter meg elegant inn i komfortsonens hovedmanesje, og kommer jeg nok til å bli resten av kvelden. Tropical fruits galore, appelsinmarmelade, gule druer, aprikos og andre fristelser. Lekker bitterhet og saftig munnfølelse. En inspirerende drikkeglede som frister til gjentagelse for en degenerert levemann som meg. Advarsel: balansekunsten som bryggerne har utvist må videreføres av konsumentene!

Bottle. Unclear golden body under a lacing, foamy off-white head. Strong fruity aroma, citric, apricot, oranges, hay, slightly piny and malt. Taste is sweet with malt, citric fruit and other fruits similar to aroma. Distinct bitterness and alcohol, but rather balanced. Full bodied and long lasting aftertaste with a touch of honey and alcohol. Unusually, not like an ordinary triple dry hopped NEIPA. More like some kind of style by it own, more malt, more bitterness, less juice more hops and all over rather boozy without being a negative thing here.
