We made a West Coast IPA.
A simple malt base with a subdued sweetness from the caramel malt and a balanced bitterness! Aromas of bright and juicy mandarin, citrus and mango with fresh pine from the hops, makes this an easy-drinking beer.

Canned 440ml. Shared at a session with Finn. Off-white, bubbly head, hazy orange coloured body, laces well. Promising smell of apricot and ripe citrus fruits. Well blended hop fruity taste with apricot and orange up front. Resinous bitterness to the finish. Pleasing. (Tromsø, 30.06.2026)

BB 03/2026. Murky amber colour, medium-sized off-white head. Grassy, fruity, a bit musty aroma - feels old. Medium-bodied. Sweet caramalty, piney and resiny. Good West Coast character, just a bit bready.

0,44 boks fra Statens legemiddelverk, hjemme: lett uklar rødlig kobber med fint skum som varer men dessverre med sjenerende mange ubåter. Engelsk appelsinmarmelade, furuskog og overmoden mango i en solid maltkropp. Kraftig bitterhet i avslutningen. Ubalansert og usjarmerende.
