0,33l can from the brewery. Canned 1-25, bbr 11-25. Clear golden beer with small head. Aroma and flavor is very sweet, even bit stale with honey, malts and herbs.

A small taste @ the flagship Alko, press blind tasting. Pours hazy yellow with a medium creamy head. Aroma is juicy malts. Flavor is sweet and bitter juicy malts with some alcohol, hops. Quite tasty, but should be a bit more refreshing. And definitely not West Coast IPA.

33 cl can @ Utsjoki. Canned 01/2024, BBE 11/2024 Aroma has sweet tropical fruits. Flavour had tropical fruits, grapefruity hops, sweet biscuity malt and citrus. Finishes with grapefruity hops, hints of bush öeaves and nettles. My kind of IPA, the hop profile is slightly odd though.

Can 330ml (Alko web, canned 01/2024)
A bit cloudy yellow colour, steady small white head. Grapes, grapefruit peels in the nose. Light-bodied to its ABV. Citrus, grapefruit, some fruityness. Quite hoppy, shows its 80 IBU. Simple, fruity and hoppy.

Hoppy and fruity, bitter. Citrus with somebunripe tropical fruit, cerealy malts, finishes dry. Not bad.
