Flaska från SB. Trött US-IIPA kan det vara något? Bärnstensfärgad, lätt disig med lågt snabbt försvinnande skum. Söt karamellig doft med kolaremmar, lite apelsinzest, mango och tallskott. Söt, ganska fruktig med mango, persika, aprikos, citrus. Relativt kraftig beska. Trött humle som aldrig riktigt lyfter men ändå ok.

Flaska från SB. Smak och doft av övermogen ananas, humle, persika, mango, karamell, citrus med fin maltsötma. Lagom söt, fina smaker, fruktig och frisk, fin beska. En aning mycket alkohol som slår igenom.

Bottle from local SB cons 2015-08-08 Göreborg AR: dried tropical fruity, pine AP: coppery, frothy head F: warming feeling, dried tropical fruity, pine

355ml bottle at home. Almost clear golden orange color with off white head. Aroma is hoppy and malty, pine, citrusy fruity, light grassy, caramel. Sweet and heavy bitter taste like aroma. Medium oily body with soft carbonation.

Pour is a murky orange with a large white head. Aroma is a decent pungent hop with a bit of sweet malt. Flavor is an ok hop but it’s followed by a very heavy and cloying sweet malt. Thick mouthfeel with some molasses sugary sweet malt. Here is another IPA that has way too much malt presence and after awhile this hops lose their mojo and it turns into a malt heavy bomb.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 5/1/2014. Pours lightly cloudy deep orange copper color with a 2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, caramel, brown sugar, bread, floral, grass, light pine, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good complexity and well balanced citrus hops and caramel/bready malt sweetness; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, caramel, brown sugar, bread, floral, grass, pine, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, floral, grass, pine, caramel, brown sugar, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity of juicy citrus hops and a good amount of caramel/bready malt sweetness; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a moderately slick and sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a small warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice DIPA style. All around good complexity and balance of juicy citrus hops and caramel/bready malt sweetness; and quite smooth to sip on for the big ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

12 ounce bottle in snifter. Dark amber/orange. Caramel malt, light on hops and bitterness. High ABV is apparent and the flavor doesn’t stand up to it.
