7.1/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Hazy golden colour with a a frothy white cap, decent stay and some foamy spots on the glass. Orange juice nose with mild lemon zest and some pink grapefruit juice touch. A lot of the same for taste with more of the grapefruit zest over its juice. Some nice bitterness, into dryness builds in the end, but does not linger too long. A refreshing, crisp, lightly dry DDH IPA with more of the citrus peel.

After having the Galaxy & Nelson Sauvin version last night (and loving it), went to the brewpub for my first time tonight, and got this one. Hazy golden-orange colour with a warm-white frothy head, good stay and some thick creamy-bubbly lacing. Sweeter fruitiness aromas in this one, with pineapples, orange juice and hints of melons (honeydew and watermelons). The taste shows tangerines adding sweetness, fruitiness again over the orange juices. Juicy, refreshing mouthfeel with just a touch of dryness. Fruitier, juicier, sweeter than the other version - if this is your thing. Preferred the other one.

Hazy golden colour with an orange hue, a warmish-white frothy-creamy head, very nice retention and loads of thick foamy lace. Lemon-orange zest aromas nicely blended between some mild citrus juices, oats and grassiness. The mouthfeel is quite smooth with a nice light bitterness in the end, and decent dryness, but not overly. Again, lots of citrus peel-zest in the taste, and grassy hops are balanced in the finish. Quite a nice, smooth Double IPA with just enough building bitter-dryness.

Bright golden colour, fairly clean with a bubbly white cap, average stay and some soapy lacing. Citrus aromas with some herbal notes. The taste shows some decent citrusy flavours. Being a Pale Ale, the citrus and everything else is milder, but a decent refreshing dryness comes out of this. An easy APA.

Hazy golden colour with a bubbly-soapy white cap, average stay and some light foam lacing. Lemon and orange zest aromas with some sharp, dry-bittern edge, hints of orange juice as a base. The taste shows the dry-zest citrus action with peel notes, and the juices are still mild. A decent Pale Ale with the Kveik drying things, giving this thin-bitterness.

7.4/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Hazy golden-yellow colour with a nice white head that stays a while, and leaves some good foamy-streaky lacing. Lemon zest aromas, a touch other citrus juice and some weird hints of yeast, wet socks that give some sourness. The taste is soft, lemon peel again, a tad bitterness and dryness. An easy-drinking DDH IPA which has well-hidden alcohol, and soft citrus notes.
