Pours from growler a hazy golden-orange color with a medium off-white head that diminishes gradually to an outer ring. Strings of lacing. The aroma consists of citrus, herbal hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of piney hops, grapefruit and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a lingering citrusy hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Hazy orange colour, good white head and lace. Aroma has wet dog, fruits and light citrus. Light-bodied, quite watery actually. Citrus, resin but flavours are very mellow. Even a bit bready. Ok with food but otherwise too simple. Maybe can is a bit old? Whose knows, but someone left (or removed) BB/canning-date from the can ...

Amber colour, good white head. Aroma has tropical fruits and some crystal malt. Medium-bodied. Flavour has also tropical fruits, light citrus and then caramalt sweetness. Mellow, probably lost some of bitterness on the way.

Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and crispy. Light clean pale malts bring a light sweetness. Decent orangey citrus, touch of lemon and tangerine. Modest pine. Touch of hop spice. Light finish. Nothing out the ordinary here, plenty more.complex DIPAs around but this one delivers light clean drinkability in spades.

Bottle 65 cl. Pours golden with a slight haze and a lacing, white head. Herbal, citrusy nose - but not exactly in your face. Rich, malty body, biscuity. Solid tropical hops and a solid bitterness. Nice old school IPA, but slightly oxidized by now. 240418
