(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 30 Sep) Dark amber colour with small head. Fruity nose with powerful hoppy aromas, notes of grapefruit, pine needles and resin. Fruity, seriously hoppy, taste with grapefruit, pine needles, resin and harsh earthy hop flavours in the finish. Starts sweet, turns drier towards the finish, medium body. Very hoppy and very nice.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 30 Sep) Amber colour with white, disappearing, head. Fruity nose with hoppy notes of grapefruit, pine needles and resin. Same goes for the taste: fruity with grapefruit and pine needles. Quite thin body, and rather one-dimensional, dominated by the hops. If you like the hops it’s a nice beer, but not really complex.

Bottled (became rating #2000). Hazy, darkish amber colour with small beige head. Aroma is fruitish and flowery hops with sweet candyish hints. Liked the aroma very much. Flavour again is grassy, slight caramellish and hayish. Quite standard IPA.

[Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival] Hazy pale amber, minimal head. Rich sweaty lychee aroma. Dryish with clean mouthfeel. Aromatic and over-hoppy, yet light and drinkable. Lingering very bitter finish.
