50cl bottle pours with a clear copper body that has gold hues and supports a dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up floral hops, earthy lime, sweetened black pepper, some onion dankness and a mild amount of citrus flavored gummy bears. The taste starts off with a mix of bitter floral hops, malt sweetened tangelo and firm resiny pine hoppiness. A dash of thin black pepper rises up as the resiny bitter hops peak in intensity. It has some citrus hop juiciness that pokes through here and there and then it ends with lingering hop bitterness. Nice rich bold hoppy brew.

500ml bottle @ Hilpeä Hauki, Helsinki
Pours dark orange with a white head. Nice aroma of exotic fruity hoppiness, raw hop cones, grass, citrus and crisp maltiness. Taste is slick, hoppy and exotic fruits and caramely maltiness. Finish is slick, fruity and zesty with some hoppiness and maltiness. Alcohol is quite well hidden, but could’ve used perhaps a bit more bitterness to make this even better for my taste. Still a very good DIPA, though.

50 cl bottle @ Hilpeä Hauki, BBE 17.09.2014
Aroma is very fruity with fresh hops, caramel and resiny malt. Flavour has caramel, some gluey tones, fruity hops and pineapples. Aroma was better than flavour (which isn?t bad either.) Gets some licorice aromas with sediment added.

(Bottle, 0.5 l - BB 170914, at Hilpeä Hauki, 20140326) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, mango, creamy toffee, pine and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, creamy toffee, sweetness, citricness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, sweet and bitter. A very well done double IPA: balanced with pleasant hoppiness and strong body.
