Cloudy golden with a lasting white head. Peaches, grapefruit and apricots dominate the hoppy aroma. Sweet, floral, peachy, juicy flavour indicating a whole lot of late hops. Finishes bitter.

Bottle courtesy of Unclemattie: Poured a clear amber color ale with a medium foamy head with minimal lacing. Aroma of cascade hops with some medium bitterness. Taste consists of medium caramel malt with some traces of c-hops bitterness and light floral notes. Body is about average with some good carbonation. Very average overall.

Clear amber with tiny white head. Aroma is sweet malty and fruity with nice hoppy notes. Flavor is sweet with hops and fruits. Nice bitter end. Lovely!

Bottle, thanks to my son Steinar. Golden colour, large head. Nice aroma of fruity American hops. The flavour is sweet and hoppy with a very bitter finish, but I don’t get much complexity, let alone subtlety. I’m not a big fan of this one.

Crystal clear golden coloured body with a thinnish white head. Aroma of very fresh grapefruity and floral hops. Some mild sweetness is noticeable, along with a dash of peaches. Light to Medium-bodied; Nice carbonated feel with a potent dose of hops hitting the taste buds first. They then fade to a malty backbone while showing some fruits. Aftertaste is clean and refined for an IPA - no harsh alcohol or anything - just a pleasant hop bitterness. Overall, a good IPA, a bit light, but very nice! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Grape & Gourmet in Virginia Beach, Virginia on 11-January-2008.

66 cl bottle: Pours clear orange with a egg white head & lacings. Grapefruit, citrus, peach, pineapple - very sweet & heavenly aroma, feel like using the word "cute". Fresh, crisp & pleasant amount of bitter biting hops. Very dry lasting hoppy end. Gimmesummo’ goddammit! Tremendous IPA.

Bomber. Pours a clean orange color with a really big head. Aromas remind me of Pinesol: clean and resiny. Flavor is heavy on resin and hops bitterness, but this is pretty nice. Not really complex, but really appreciated.

Clear gold with a fleeting white head. Piney, resiny aroma. Bitterness is assertive at the start and becomes annoyingly out of balance by the time you reach the finish. Tthin bodied. Disappointing.

Hazy golden color, thin head, nice cobweb-like lace. There is a great hop aroma, very fruity, grapefruit and bitter oranges over all. Very good toffee flavor, less sweet than my liking, maybe just a bit drier than this beer deserves, at the end; powerful hopping, giving both a fruity and resiny touch, but never overwhelming. Powerful final, but if anything, less than expected, and shorter. After one year, it seems that some corners have softened, the flavors are well mixed together, and everything is more balanced.

Hazy golden color. Wonderful hoppy aroma, a bit resiny and greatly fruity: grapefruit, sweet oranges, peach... Even a touch of cookies. The body is not too strong, almost dry; there is a quite strong toffee flavor, very strong bitterness with quite strong resins and bitter oranges, mango. Very good, but unbalanced between aroma and flavor.

Intriguing aroma of hay, grain, pineapple, and traces of caramel with the pineapple most prevalent. Shimmering amber color, with a medium yellow head. Unexpectedly dry and grainy flavor. Decent strength but the absences of sweet citrus made me feel misled. Lemon peel finish.
