Unbelievable aroma of grapefruit, sweet floral citrus. Its like drinking grapefruit juice! The only other beer to make me say that was a fresb hopslam! I cant get my nose out of the glass, its intoxicating! So sweet and juicy, the finish is a wicked pithy bitterness just like if you bit into a grapefruit! The citric aftertaste last forever. For hop addicts like myself, you must seek out this beer! I have no choice...... I have to give this a 5!

Can from Mikkeller Webshop. Massively hoppy and juicy aroma with fruits, grass, citrus, tropical fruits, dank herbal-ish Mosaic, pineapple, some pine resin, grapefruit, bitter fruit peel. Flavour is light sweet with a firm and long bitter finish. Body is medium. Here's one who truly lives up to the hype, this is massively hoppy and crisp. Intense, a near flawless IPA.
