Bottle @ O’Learys, Copenhagen airport. A bit uncertain about what vintage this was. It was purchased April 2018 and marked Red IPA 6,7% ABV, but the 2018 bottle is marked 5,9% and it was defintivly not the brown 2017 label from Ringnes. The label was red like the 2016 vintage and ABV, but it seems unlikely that they serves me an 2 year old IPA. Gotta put it somewhere, so this have to do temporary.
Slightly unclear golden body with a small but dense off-white head. Aroma is more malty than hoppy with some ripe fruit and marmalade. Still pretty smooth in flavor with malt, hint of bread, ripe fruit, slightly toast and moderate bitterness. Medium body with a balanced aftertaste that feels a bit more bitter than the first impression. Not bad, but not much of an IPA, feels more like a hoppy red ale. Nice to drink with my burger.

Bottle.Pale amber color. KJUBZT. Cardboard, dust and overripe fruit in the aroma and flavor. Vinous notes, Sawdust. A long way over the Hill.

Burk från SB. Ljusgul disig vätska. Bra men lätt kropp som är lite kakigt. Citrus och melon och tropisk frukt, medelstor sötma och medelstor beska ger torr avslutning. Stilmässigt också en medelväg väg mellan öst/väst. En medelbra IPA helt enkelt. Ok+

Smak och doft av humle, malt, citrus, citrusskal, grapefrukt, tallkåda med toner av nätmelon. Frisk, torr, lätt sötma, något stram, fin beska. Saknar lite kropp och kanske väl stram i längden.

355ml bottle. Hazy, dark amber colour with average, thick, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Slightly sugary, caramel malty and citrusy hoppy aroma, notes of lemon, orange, hints of grapefruit, grapefruit zest. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally sugary, caramel malty, citrusy hoppy notes of lemon and grapefruit, some orange; malt basis flags prematurely, leading to a slightly watery, zesty, bitter finish.

Bottle shared at TZT. Slight hazy amber with off white head. 10 months past it’s BB date. Caramel, sweet berries, light dank hops, bready, toffee, soft sugary. Bit over medium sweet and medium bitter. Medium bodied. Not too bad for its age.
