Fortunate Islands combines the bangin' hop aroma of an über-tropical IPA with the crisp, deeply quenching drinkability of a killer pale ale. We achieve this magical result by starting with a mild, nutty malt backbone, then dry-hopping the bejesus out of it with Citra and Amarillo hops. Restrained bitterness and vibrant notes of mango, tangerine, and passionfruit combine to form a sessionable crusher of mind-bending proportions. It tastes like wizards.

Storburk från SB. Bärnstensfärgad, aningen disig med snabbt försvinnande skum. Stor frisk men mjuk och djup doft av tropisk frukt, med citrus, mango, ananas och lite passionsfrukt. Mjuk munkänsla, balanserad sötma och beska och riktigt stor fruktighet. Otroligt snygg och välbalanserad, bra rund kropp, inga kanter någonstans och rejält humlad utan någon sträv kärvhet. Mycket gott.

Amber colored, clear, small white head, quickly becomes only a ring. Aroma is caramel malt, Citra, tropical fruity and floral hops. Moderate- sweet caramel malt flavor, nice tropical fruits and floral hops with a citrus dry finish. Low to medium bitterness, quite hoppy. Light+ bodied and moderate carbonation. So strong in the way of the Hop, the wheat part is far in the background. Excellent!
