Supercharged India Pale Ale.... Rich/bright & amber/bronze with lots of American hop aroma. Distinctly bittersweet on the palate with a massive hop complexity fashioned deep within the IPA tradition.

440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.3%. Slightly gushing can. Hazy orange colour, moderate to small white head. Strong aroma of citrus and tropical fruits, also some piney notes. Citric and piney flavour, decent bitterness, sufficient malts. Quite good.

Can online from 'The Trembling Madness'. Pours a cloudy muddy orange colour with a large throthy off-white head. Strong aromas of mango, pineapple, satsuma, grapefruit, pine and a little peppery spice. Taste his more of the fruity notes, more peppery spice, pine, resinous and earthy hops, weed and a nice tangy bitterness on the finish. Thinnish body with a lively fizzy mouthfeel. Nice and fresh. Very good.

Can. Pours a nice hazy amber with a bit of head. Aroma is caramel, pine, tropical fruit and citrus. Medium body. Flavour is malty, somewhat sweet, hint of caramel. Lots of pine, medium bitterness. Lovely hops notes, grassy, fresh, citrus, earthy and quite juicy. Some peach and some tropical notes. Has a lovely fruity character but most of the hops is dedicated to earthy, herbal and pine notes. Lovely, drinkable IPA which I could come back to every other day. Nothing is really emphasised, it's just a balanced, no nonsense, delicious IPA.

Can. Murky amber with a white head that doesn't last but does lace. Aroma of citrus blossoms, grapefruit, ripe peach flesh, some bread crust, dried mango. Aroma is short of vibrant but the aromatics burst through on the palate. Not very sweet but lots of fruit (mainly citrus). Finish is as dry as bitter. Lovely drop - really like how it holds its shape.

Third by keg at Purecraft. Patchy white head, unclear orange coloured body. Rings of lace down the glass. Promising aromas of peaches and citrus. Quite rich fruity taste of citrus and apricot followed by citrus shells towards the ending. Fine bodied. Likable. (Birmingham 03.02.2020).
