Can from Systembolaget Sweden.
An almost perfect hop aroma with tropical fruity aroma.
Small head and clowdy solid yellow color.
The taste is tropical with dry hoppy finish.
The body has an excellent balance with a firm bitterness.

Can. It pours a hazy pale golden orange colored body under a small white head. Grapefruit, pine cones, papaya hints and some pale malts in the aroma. It's medium bodied and nicely carbonated, semi-bitter, with hoppy fruityness dominating the flavor. Grapefruit, pine cones, tropical fruityness and some pale malts in the flavor. Medium length finish. Quite pleasant this one, straigth forward but nice. 241231

(Draught at Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival, 6 Sep 2024) Golden colour, slightly hazy, with frothy white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, grapefruit and peaches. Fruity, hoppy taste with citrus, grapefruit, pine needles, resin, white bread and a generous citric/piney bitterness. Almost full body, with a slight sweetness. Refreshing DIPA, with a rich hop character. Nice one.
