On tap at the Mad Mex in Robinson. Why do I continue to torture myself with IPA? I am not purposefully attempting to make IPA lovers angry! I just want to taste every possible beer out there Not a whole lotta aroma. Pour is slightly darker than and hazy compared to the norm. You can barely tell it is gonna be an IPA. Same old pale yellow american beer colors. Big hoppy flavor impact, it is funny how so many of these beers come across with the same initial impressions. Bitter back of the throat grapefruit rind experiences. Medicinal qualities that just will not quit. Get ready to pucker your mouth. I thought that hops were to used as a preservative but now it is desirable. Finish is lasting and lingers for at least a half hour afterwards. Gimmie a glass of water.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, warm, amber with a creamy, off-white head leaving a discreet lacing. Fantastic aroma of pine and citrus. Medium body with lightly sweet caramel malt that is quickly overpowered by distincly bitter aroma hops with some citric notes as well. It starts pretty promising, but somehow fails to deliver. 280307

Draught. Not much aroma to this one. Looked lekker, no lacing, copper colour. A full flavour that unfortunately was overpowered by lunch. The malt was definitely there and the finish was like a kiss. This is perhaps a session ale, or something to be drunk during a movie.

Translucent orange with a very whispy white head. Smells of malt, grain and yeast. Flavor was very pleasant. Strong biscuit flavor, malt. Has a pleasant bite and citrus after taste. Not the best ESB I’ve ever had, but a good representative of the style.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a beautiful, clear, warm amber colour with a creamy, off-white head. Nice aroma of fruity hops. Medium body, pleasant accents of caramel with a light sweetness. The finish is dry without much bitterness. A very well crafted and quaffable amber. 200307

Bottle (2004 vintage). Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is very toffeeish, some berries and slightly caramel malts and hoppy. Flavour is a real fudge bomb along with orange, vanilla and some hops. A very nice beer!

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 10 Mar 2007) Dark red/amber/brown colour, slightly hazy. Fruity nose with cherries, raspberries, wild berries, dark fruit, Seville orange, caramel, fudge and vanilla. Fruity taste with caramel, fudge, raspberries, cherries and vanilla. Very complex, but slightly unfocused and rather sweet. Hearty, tasty and warming, though.
