Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours dark amber with a off white head. Very piney resin aroma. Taste of malt, resin and some citrus. In a blind tasting I would have thought that this was from UK rather than USA which was what they have aimed for...

First rating33 cl bottle from Systembolaget Nordstan, Göteborg. On October 13, 2010. BB week 10, 2011Slight bit hazy copper color, small yellow head. Sharp, hoppy, soap like, sweet, caramel, bread and grainy scent. Hoppy, harsh grainy, metallic, slight bit fruity taste. The dry harsh bitterness puts me off, as does the grain/husk like back in the throat bitterness when swallowing it.Medium to smoth mouthfeel, rather hard dry, edgy, grainy, not too pleasant bitterness.Nice flavor if it wasn’t for that bitterness that pulls it way down in numbers. Too dry and bitter for me. Distinct hop bitterness is dominating the aftertaste.7/3/5/3/11=2.9Rerate33 cl bottle from Systembolaget in Örnsköldsvik.Hazy copper color, white head. Sweet, fruity, hoppy, citrus scent. Hoppy, grainy, bitter taste. Resin aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel, medium bitterness.7/3/6/3/12=3.1

Bottled at Järnet, Stockholm. Clear copper colour, rocky head. Rich aroma of mango, grapefruit and lychee. Medium bodied with nicely rounded mouthfeel. A slight roastiness hides behind layer after layer of tropical fruit hoppiness. Marked but balanced bitterness. A very drinkable hop explosion with mouthfilling flavours.
