Taste comprises wooded notes, dark chocolate, treacle toffee, light peat, smoke, fruit rinds. Medium + body, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a peated rise. Decent enough offering.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Kristopher Wines. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold with a creamy, pure white head. Some plastic-y phenolics in the nose, a bit of lemon and grapefruit, pale grains. Light sweet flavour with mellow grassy bitterness, more plastic notes, light astringency, pithy grapefruit, husky grains, hay. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with notes of melted plastic, citrus rind, more grass and grains. Astringent bitter aftertaste, and otherwise just a bit bland. Bit of a letdown, really.

Bottled 330ml (Viking Line taxfree)
Hazy dark amber-orange color, good cloudy off-white head, lace. Riped tropical fruits in the nose, mango and peach. Medium to full-bodied. Quite robust IPA. Riped fruits, mango, passion fruit, kiwi, citrus and then alcohol. A bit of everything here. Fruity hoppy but also a bit alcoholic brew. Doesn’t work with salted peanuts.
