Burk. Välbalanserad DIPA med hög sötma och alkohol som framträder utan att ta över. Malten är söt och påminner om småkakor. Humlen har karaktär av apelsinskal och grapefrukt men också en örtig bitterhet som framträder i eftersmaken. Munkänslan är behaglig med en oljig mjukhet. Totalt sett en välgjord öl.

Canadian DIPA, can from a Systembolaget in southern Stockholm. Intricately 'Brugse kant'-like lacing, snow white, medium thick, moussy, stable head, misty warm yolk-yellow blonde robe with peachy tinge. Aroma of green onions, raw shallots, a dash of yellow curry, granadilla, lime peel, gin, overripe papaja, moist cigarettes, green olives, peppercorns. Fruity onset with notes of papaja and pomelo, starfruit, sweet and sourish, softish carbonation, thick fluffy mouthfeel, oily, sweet maltiness but quickly overcome by a firm, juicy, very citrusy, pink peppercorn-like, spicy hoppiness, barbecue spices and grapefruit, very long and 'powdery' in the end with a tropical note somewhere - yet at the same time, the actual bitterness remains relatively gentle. Outspoken, gin-like alcohol ensues, a bit too much even for this style. Otherwise, however, this is a fine, modern, aromatic, juicy and hazy, NEIPA-influenced interpretation of one of the boldest styles generated by the American craft beer movement, an update of the classic, harsh West Coast DIPA so to speak. Very clever beer, if a bit too boozy for me.
