Canned at Stockholm Beer Festival. Deep golden with firm head. Sweaty hoppy nose. Interesting hop flavour combination of lychee, hay and sweat. Fairly soft with medium bodiy and dense chewy malt structure. Very bitter finish. A well made beer throughout. The powerfuk hops are nicely carried by the rich malt.

Can pours clear gold with copper core and white head of foam. The aroma is malty and biscuit maltiness mixed with some pine, tangelo and other assorted citrus notes. The taste begins with a pulse of malt sweetness as pine and grapefruit hop bitterness build quickly to midway. It ends a bit dry with lingering hop bitterness into the after taste. Tasty brew with nice hoppiness and moderate malty backbone.

Can: Deep copper color with a large sandy colored foamy head. Bright citrus notes with plenty of grapefruit and just a hint of pine. At first I thought that the flavor was subdued on the hops (after a great aroma), but still maintains a decent grapefruit and citrus presence. A smooth maltiness mellows out the flavor before a mild, yet lingering bitters trailer. Drinkable and flavorful IPA; and great from a can!

Can! Pours a dark golden color with a sizeable sandy colored head. Thick, sticky lacing. Nose is mildy hoppy with florals a sort of a husky malt. Tastes of dirty floral hops, a bit grassey, and some more husky malt. Has a different malty feel to it. Reminds me of an organic brew, but I can’t put my finger on it.
