Bottle from Top Hops beer shop, New York, NY. A golden/straw coloured pour with a medium white fluffy head on top. Hoppy, malty, citrus fruit aroma. Tastes similar, hoppy, citrus, malty, quite mellow but lacking complexity, still fine.

Denne kom rett etter Baladin Open Riserva hos Odd Gunnar denne fine junikvleden, så det ble nok litt urettferdig. Lys&klar og med fin munnfylde, men humlebruken er forsiktigere enn antatt - eller er det en illusjon? Friskt pøseøl i det høyere %-segmentet.

Shared 355 ml bottle at local tasting. Golden colour, low white head. Sweetish aroma of stale orange marmalade and dust. Medium hopped flavour, on a medium sweet background of orange marmalade. Not bad, but a "thirteen in a douzen" IPA.
