Old School is a collab with our dear friends from Kinn Bryggeri. We wanted to go back to the roots of classic West Coast IPAs that has in so many ways, been an introduction to, and shaped the love we have for craft beer. For this beer we decided to lean heavy on Nugget and Cascade, with a touch of Simcoe.

Luke 7/24 er også fra nissens postordreutvalg, en 0,5 boks nydt hjemme etter kulturskolens julekonsert: klar kobbergylden med utmerket skum som varer forbi siste dråpe. Solide inntrykk av furunål og malt med et fint innslag av grapefrukt. Endelig en IPA uten noen fancy dikkedarer og i forsvarllig boksstørrelse; den ser ut som øl, lukter som øl og smaker som øl. Mersmak fra første slurk, så boksen ble fort tømt.

Rerate, 500 ml can, as HaandBryggeriet / Kinn Old School Best Coast IPA, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. Slightly hazy brown colour, moderate off-white head. Piney hops and some orange in the aroma. The flavour has the impression as first sample, very bitter aftertaste. I'm keeping the score.
Original rating:On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Copper colour, moderate white head. Piney hops in the aroma. The flavour has a distinct hop bitterness throughout, sufficient malts but not very sweet, notes of grapefruit.

Can @ Home. Clear golden body under a huge, dense, lacing tan head. Aroma has malt, biscuit, bread, pine ripe citric fruit, grapefruit and tropical fruits. Taste has sweet malt, caramel, toffee, marmalade, grapefruit and American hops. Fine body with long lasting, quite bitter aftertaste. A very nice, tasty, classic American IPA the way we love an IPA to be.
