ABV: 7.2% IBU: - Ticks: 22
A full-bodied and full-flavoured India Pale Ale - in the West Coast style. Assertive but balanced hop bitterness complements the malt backbone.

Aromas are forthright, coming from the big dry-hopping with Columbus, Ahtanum, Azacca and Ekuanot.

Can. Buxton online shop. Clear amber gold. Loose and sticky lasting white foam. Nose is very malt forward. Sappy sticky hoppage on top. Comes across almost minty and herbal. Taste is sticky sweet with punchy oily hop bitterness. Smooth and easy drinking. Fine carbonation. Lingering sappy bitterness to finish.

440ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Shared with Finn at Bergstua. Misty, amber-gold body, filmy layer, dotted spots on the glass. Promising smell of lemon and leafy hops. Citrus, bread, and biscuit to the taste character, well balanced. Moments of resinous bitterness towards the finish. Fine bodied. Like it. (Malangen 31.08.2022).

Spandert av Rune. Delt på Bergstua. Gylden. Litt uklar. Filmskum. Aroma av appelsin & malt. Smaken som aromen. Litt tørr etter hvert. Fin bitter avslutning.

Nose is malt, orange, melon, hint of mango. Taste is fuity, soft mango, hint of pineapple, leading to a gentle hop dank and pine. Nice malt body. Really superbly balanced beer, I enjoyed it a great deal.

Hazy golden, white head. Smells bittersweet, a little fruity. Taste has hippy grapefruit, some citrus but there's a good malt hit here too. Well balance and very drinkable.
