0,44 boks fra VP Hillevåg, hjemme: nesten helt klar lys gylden med fint skum som varer. Citrus, granskudd, urter og god maltsmak i et velsignet mango- og lactosefritt miljø. En jule-ipa til helårsbruk; forfriskende, oppmuntrende og akkurat passe tørr.

Can. It pours a hazy golden body with an orangey tint. A dense, two-finger white head leaves lacing. The aroma is citrusy and resiny, with a spiced touch, some grassy notes and a light malty note. Some alcohol and a perfumed, woody and cedar-like touch. It's medium to full-bodied, with a nice carbonation and a light warmth. Grapefruit, green grapes, generic citrus, grass hints and pale malts in the flavor. Lasting bitter, fruity finish. A very refreshing one, but as expected a bit too gentle. Which is why I prefer a regular IPA. 231115

170ml draught at Ølhallen. Patches on the surface over a clear dark golden body, rich lacing. Aroma of grassy hops with citric support. Mixed taste character of grass, oily hops, and earthy malts. Mid-dry malt-fruity ending, satisfying bitterness to it. Mothfilling. Pretty nice. (Tromsø, 06.11.2023).

On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Clear golden colour, large white head. Moderate aroma of fruity hops. Lagerish mouthfeel. Well hopped flavour with a "clean" bitterness, no "fruit cocktail" here. Nothing "christmassy" about it, but a very drinkable beer.
