Brazenly bitter. Dashingly dry-hopped. Raja is an audacious addition to our lengthy lineage of intrepid IPA’s. Hops for all! All for hops!

Pale golden with a white head - Tropical and citrus hops in the aroma - Malt body with a good hop profile that is fruity with tropical flavours, citrus and some hints of herbal pine that is bitter - The flavours from hops goes into the finish that ends dry - This was good

Satisfying bitterness offset by an outsized sweetness. Starts with an immense dose of caramel malt, giving the beer a sugary base that makes the ensuing citric-tropical hop notes almost grow cloy in their prominence. Lots of orange and mango in the middle, and the finish grows piney and resinous, but the sweetness never abates, turning the fade almost medicinal in its palate-scouring IBUs. Grows a bit astringent, too, the feel a bit harsh for an 8% beer. Maharaja’s the way to go.

0.355l can. This one pours a quite good looking bright orange cloudy looking body. On the top there's a big lasting and quite lacing white near fluffy head. It smells quite nice also. Lots of apricot sweet and fruitiness. Pine, marmalade and a little sap. Nice and sharp aroma. Feel it's not quite where a DIPA should be on the mouthfeel, but it's nice and average on the carbonation. Lots of sharp citrus on the taste. Piney and a little tea like in the finish. Lemon tea. Easy to drink for the abv and quite enjoyable. 08.04.2017

On tap @ På Kornet, Stavanger. Pours clear yellow, with a small creamy head. Aroma is bitter hops with pine and citrus peel, as well as floral notes. Medium body, with average carbonation. Flavour is bitter hops, with pine, citrus peel and grassy notes, as well as light malts with cereals and toffee. Lingering bitter hoppy finish.

opalescent pale yellow colour, some off-white head; aroma of overripe pineapple, papaya and mango, some tangerine, biscuity and alcohol notes; taste is the same with slight marmalade and boiled vegetables; good IIPA, but I’m not that amazed...

355ml can. Cloudy, dark yellow-ish, bright golden colour with average to huge, creamy, fairly lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy and tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of pineapple, lemon, passion fruit, yuzu, mandarine, papaya. Taste is tropical fruity hoppy, moderately sweet, minimally sugary, malty backbone, notes of pineapple, papaya, mandarine, orange zest. Crisp, biting bitterness is almost peppery in its intensity. Superb Chutneypa.
