--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Clear golden, mid sized head. Faint tangerine aroma. Sweetish with light body and clean, hard mouthfeel. Fizzy and metallic with some perfumy tangerine. Metallic finish. More cold than IPA. Suggest removing IPA from the name.

33 cl bottle @ Armonkallio, BBE 12.01.2024 Aroma has tropical fruits and fruit juice. Flavour has minerals, some mellow fruitiness, swwet malt and orange. Easy-going but quite mild by taste, I wonder if this jus just too old?
