A crisp, bitter American Style IPA bursting with aromas of citrus fruits from the Cascade and Vic Secret dry hops. The hops are the stars here with flavours of juicy tangerines and bitter grapefruit but there is a strong enough malt backbone to provide a balanced finish.

Flaske fra Høkeren, på hytta (thanks, Steve!): dyp gylden, let uklar med kort skum i mit nye Orval glas. Overbevisende aroma og smag af tropiske frugter, mandariner og grapefrugt, holdt på plads af en solid maltkrop.

Taste of fruity sweet caramel, caramelised orange, soft grapefruit, some bitter zest, orange, quite juicy, fair amount of hops in this and not too malty
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, quite oily, good mouthfeel, fairly sweet and bitter, alcohol well hidden. Finish of juicy malts, orange zest, little dry
Overall - Think this is the best one yet from these guys
