Bottle 33 cl. Pours a cloudy golden with a huge and lively white head. Nose is indeed tropical, a very enticing hop blend. Medium body, carbonation perhaps a little to the high side, now getting some herbal/medicinal notes than I’m not super fond of. Ends bitter. Not really perfected yet. 270217

Bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours hazy tiny burnt deep yellow with a frothy white head that leaves some spotty trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is fruity and grassy with crackers, white bread, grapefruit juice, green mango, lychee, freshly cut grass, pine needles, lemon zest and hints of burnt cookies. Taste is tiny sweet, bitter, fruity and grassy. Mouthfeel is soft, round, tiny dry, slightly astringent and medium bodied. Finish is tiny sweet, bitter and very tiny sour with peppery citrus, ripe tropical fruits, grass and leek. Solid fresh IPA. Nicely tropical but a bit harsh and leek-heavy in the hops. --- Beer merged from original tick of Tropical on 06 Apr 2016 at 19:39 - Score: 7. Original review text: Solid fresh IPA. Nicely tropical but a bit unrefined and leek-heavy in the hops.

(330ml bottle from Systembolaget web order) Pours rather hazy medium orange with a small white head. Aroma intensely fruity, juicy and rather sweet, canned peach, pineapple, guava, passion fruit, mango, grapefruit. Flavour is not anything like as intense as the nose, again canned peach, grapefruit, grass, pine needles, light caramel, dry and moderately bitter finish with a tinny astringency, tastes a bit watery. Medium bodied, above average carb. The nose promises a lot with its bright and juicy character, which unfortunately is not matched by the palate. Perhaps too much focus on dry hopping?
