Tap. Clear amber color with big white head. Aroma is piney, coffee, grapefruit jam; Taste is coffee, piney, grapefruit jam again, lots of petroleum hop character, but also coffee flavours - a fun combination! Clean, medium carbonation, Stone-typical petroleum hop aftertaste. Nice balance! This one’s on the more IPA side compared to the Mocha IPA!

Burk från SB. Ganska mörkt bärnstensfärgad med medelhögt smutsvitt skum. Ganska anonym doft och smak, brittisk kropp med lite läder, nötter, karamell och brunt bröd men lite endimensionell humle som mest bjuder på medelstor citrusvitebesyka. Ok men inte mer.

On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Orange colour, moderate white head. Nice aroma of fruity and piney American hops, moderate notes of coffee. The flavour is also fruity and surprisingly easy drinking, again with moderate notes of coffee. Well hopped of course, but still well balanced. Warming mouthfeel.
