The citrus punch of a big IPA, minus the one-dimensional hop sledgehammer. Select specialty malts round out the edges for a complex, copper-colored brew.

Amber with white head. Piney notes with citrus, oranges and caramel. Taste is full of malty sweetness with citrusy bitterness that rounds out with maple sweet notes. Not very hoppy, but very pleasant.

Flaska från SB. Bärnstensfärgad, drar lite åt rött, klar, medelhögt ljust skum. Först lite orena unkna jästiga dofter som gradvis försvinner, inte jättestor humledoft men lite blommor och citrus. Fin maltkropp, len, mjuk och krämig i munnen. Vinner på att få lite högre temp än kylskåpets. Karamell, kaksmulor, brända mandlar, röda vingummin, nektarin, röd grape. Söt smaker men relativt torr. Måttlig beska. Snygg maltprofil och lite trött humle.

Smak och doft av humle, malt i massor, karamell, persika, mango med toner av honung och smörkola. Lagom söt med en trevlig beska med smak av citrus och örter.

From a bottle this is a somewhat fruity ipa. Sweet aroma but not in a real good way, more like hop perfume. Darker pale ale, just a tad of brown inthe color. Rather sweet, almost cloying at times on the palate. Good hop presence that gets almost close to ipa territory but never goes over the top. Finish is near ipa bitter linger for a while now. Yes, gets even more bitter towards the end of the session. Not impressed.
