440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet (sold out now). ABV is 6%. Hazy pale yellow colour. large white head. Aroma of pineapple, hints of mango. Flavour of pineapple, citrus, grain and pine, not as sweet and syrupy as I feared.

440ml can from The House of Trembling Madness. A hazy golden/orange coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, orange, pine. grapefruit taste, aroma is something similar. A pleasant enough IPA but Cloudwater can do so much better.

Keg at cloudwater Enid Street. Pale hazy golden. Thin foamy white head. Aroma has light sweetness but there is also a tobacco element (which could be from a third party). Sweet fruit with a citrus and herbal edge. Vinous bite. NZ hops? Medium bodied. Creamy. Long dry slightly astringent finish.

Not bad overall, some pithy tangerine, a sprinkling of oats, mellow rindy bitterness, some white pepper, lean pale malts. Drinks fine.

440ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Creamy, white head with fine retention, leaving hanging lacing on the glass, cloudy pale golden body. Fresh smell of floral fruits with a citric support. Juice fruity taste of grapefruit and orange. Soft hop fruity finish with a rounded bitter twist. Herring friendly. Quite enjoying. (Tromsø, 01.06.2025).

Keg at Cloudwater. A light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, a thinnish creamy sweetness. Light pine. Mellow skunk. Crispy citrus, some peel bitterness. Bright orange and mandarin. Light hop spice on the semi dry finish. Nice.

Can at home from the Beer Shop Hitchin. Very murky pour but an an amazing and immediate nose of rich hops. Extremely well balanced with rich and slightly bitter hops and a gorgeous mouth feel.
