7.4/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
330ml bottle. Orange-gold amber colour, foamy off-white head and aroma of malt caramel, tropical fruits, orange citrus, hop resins. Taste is malty caramel, toffee, sweetish with tangy, floral fruity, mellow citrus, boozy, and spicy grapefruit and pine bitterness. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, warming dry bitter finish with earthy hop resin notes. Very drinkable DIPA.

(Draught at Man in the Moon, Stockholm, 19 Nov 2015) Reddish amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, resin, burnt rubber and hints of alcohol. Malty, fruity taste with resin, citrus, burnt rubber, caramel and a generous bitterness in a finish with a slight alcohol bite. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Warming DIPA with an impressive hop presence. Very nice.

Bottle at home, 28th December 15. Pours a syrupy dark amber. Aroma is pine, sap, citrus. Taste is piney hops, quite syrupy, bitter hops, some citrus. Good but I hoped for more given the wow factor of the original

Bottle thanks to Secret Santa! Pours clear orange, medium off-white head that dissipates pretty quickly leaving some lacing. Aroma is very piney, some citrus as well. Flavor is medium sweet and very bitter, deeply bitter, tons of pine and dank perfume. Medium body.

Fat på Taproom Malmö. Smak och doft av humle, citrus, mango, passionsfrukt, aprikos, grapefrukt. Fruktig och frisk, rena smaker, oljig, rund och len, lagom sötma, fin beska med smak av grapefrukt. Bra balans!

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Dark orange. Light haze. Bubbly, messy, cream coloured head. Chewy, gooey, resinous hop. Some sawn wood. Tinned fruit syrup. Smells dank and heady. Taste is thick, syrupy sweet. Turns oily, burnt plastic bitter. Big chewy palate. Pretty greasy. That oily, burnt bitterness grows on the finish. The middle ground between sweet and bitter is missing, for me.
