From a 330ml bottle on 18/12/2011. Pours a fairly clear yellow with a tiny head that disappears instantly. Has a moderate wit aroma of banana, spices and bubblegum, which also translates to the flavour. Let down badly by the palate, which is thin, watery and under carbonated.

Bottled@Man In The Moon, Stockholm. Copper colour, small beige head. ARoma is fruits, sweet malts, mild raisins as well as some mild plum and hops. Flavour is rather hoppy with some sweet malts and raisins. Pleasantly balanced. A year or so after BBE, but it’s aged rather beautifully and especially in the flavour the hops are still alive.

Bottle at Papsø’s
Cloudy dark amber color; small creamy head. It has a nice aroma of malt and caramel, a bit buttery, cheesy and maybe phenolic. It has a correct body strength, but somehow the flavor is evanescent, and the mouthfeel dryish; there is malt and caramel, a bit sweet, also alcoholic; correct bitterness; the final is warming, because of the alcohol. Unbalanced.

Growler. Amber with an inch of white head. Pine, nectarines, caramel, some citrus. Full, creamy mouthfeel - doesn’t feel underweight for an IPA at all. Modest caramel sweetness, prominent but not dominant bitterness with pine and a little kumquat. All very tenor-register hops - a little more zesty citrus would have made it more vibrant. Pretty good.
