Synopsis: Third in the series of our post-apocalyptic APAs and IPAs. This time a bit more refreshing and spicy, a drink worthy of the road warrior! A showcase of the special characteristics of the hop Sorachi Ace, originating from Japan. Master notes of lemon cream with blaster of dill and coriander.

Advanced engineering notes: Brewed with a medium body of pale and munich malt. The US grown Sorachi Ace hops, originating from Japan gives the beer a unique lemon cream taste with hints of dill and coriander which combines with the grassy and peppery notes from the Columbus hops. Hopping schedule is very light in the beginning of the boil but mad at the end, and maxes at post-boil!

On tap at Cosmic Comic Cafe, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light bittering hops and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is clean enough, with light metallic notes, some piney hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Quite bitter and fairly metallic. A bit flawed but it's not terrible.

An orange beer, a head is big and blond. Aroma has strong mangos, some grapefruits, hint of fructose and bananas. Taste has grapefruits, some tropical fruitness, medium bitterness. More fruits would be great. Medium bodied, nice carbonation. Good beer.

Draught. Yellowish orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, mildly wooden, resiny and lactic notes along with some sweet malts. Flavour is quite similar, without the lactic notes. Balanced, and quite close to an IPA flavourwise.

Tap at Ukkometso. Light citrus, fruity aroma. Medium-bodied. Some grapefruit, gooseberry hoppyness in the flavor. Decent as such but perhaps a bit boring with "homebrewish vibe". Anyhow my first one from this new brewery.

Draught @ BrewDog Helsinki
Aroma has grapefruit, gooseberry bush and fruit candy. Feels dry. Smooth and creamy palate. Flavour is somewhat aggressive with gooseberry bush, grapefruit, fruit candy and minerals. Finishes with lingering bitterness. Citrus fruits are strong on this one.

(Keg at Brewdog Helsinki, 20150211) The beer poured golden and a little bit hazy. Its head was small and white. Aroma had fruitiness, citricness, spiciness and mildly boiled vegetables. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, citricness, malts, spiciness and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity, hoppy and bitter. The aroma was confusing but the taste was good.

Draught with a slightly hazy, amber colour and a small white head. There are mainly notes of grass and a little citrus (lemon) in the aroma. Moderately bitter and sweet with short, somewhat bitter finish.
