This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.

12 oz, can, 6.3% ABV, Best by date: 08/21/2022

AROMA: Scents of lemon, a bit of dankness, and some floral notes.

APPEARANCE: Pours a slightly hazy medium-brown, with an exceedingly high (at least 4 fingers), pure white, head with fantastic lacing! This has to be one of the best heads that I have ever seen come out of a canned beer!

TASTE: Slightly bitter with a bit of sweetness on the finish. But no real discernible flavors that I can detect.

MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied with a slightly tacky texture and average carbonation.

OVERALL: Other than the head, there is nothing particularly great, or bad, about this beer. It's not overly bitter, overly sweet, nor overly high in alcohol. All of which, makes for a nice session beer. Basically, if you are at a bar (or party), and this is on tap (or in the cooler), then you will be content to down several of these, and never have a single complaint. However, if your goal is to actually "experience" the beer, then this beer is probably not for you. In essence, a nice beer worthy of drinking, but nothing to go out of your way for.

Can tapped, enjoyed at home. Had this on tap many times, finally rating it. Pours a somewhat hazy dark gold, somewhat towards amber, little head. Aroma is sweet, lots of caramel, grassy and herbal hops, a bit of pine. Medium body. Flavour is sweet, nice clean malt base with a lovely caramel touch. Really lovely malt base. Medium bitterness, one gets a nice bitter kick at the first sip. Hops is balanced nicely with the malt, not taking over at all resulting in a classic English IPA profile. Grassy, herbal, smooth orange and citrus notes and a good restrained pine kick. My local pub here have this as a regular IPA on tap and it is indeed perfect as a go-to IPA when you're in the mood for a simple 'comfort beer'. A really nice IPA.

First from this brewery, pouring a clean amber colour with a big off-white, warm cap, good retention and creamy-foamy lacing. Sweet nose at first, but the grassiness comes out with time. So, hoppy over the caramel malt base. Kind of berry notes at first pour. The taste is mildly hoppy, but nothing too crazy. Somewhat dry, but again - not too the max. The base is almost more cereal grains. Not a bad IPA, but more old school, without being a hopbomb.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold color with a large eggshell head and excellent retention. Very good lacing. Dominant floral hops aroma. Surprise, another bitter IPA with a slight citrus finish. Nothing distinct or interesting. Tick.

35,5 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Mitra Wijk bij Duurstede. Hazy dark golden with a white head. Citrus aroma with some malt backing. Layered bitter taste with a long lingering hopbitter finish. A very solid American IPA.

355ml bottle at SOT bar & burger in Hammerfest. A frothy white head to a close-to-clear dark golden body. Lacing rings down the glass. Moderate floral citrus nose. Orange and orange peels to the taste character followed by a backdrop of resinous bitterness. Medium bodied. Quite alright and food friendly to my cheese burger. (17.08.2019).

Amber with a creamy head. Floral aroma with strong caramel tones. A bit of peach underneath. Taste is bittersweet, trending bitter at the end. A strong malty foundation—which is how I like my IPAs. Medium body with just a hint of water. Refreshing and tasty.

Flaska@BA. Grumligt ofiltrerat gyllengul vätska. Lätt citrus och barrskogsdoft. Lätt beska och en diskret maltkropp.

Bottle shared by Keukeman. Unclear dark orange color, full sized a bit creamy off-white head. Aroma and flavor is malts, hops, mainly bitter hops, slightly resinous. Decent to medium body and carbonation. Quite solid. 8-4-8-4-16
