On tap at Spinal Tap. Pours murky blonde with a white head. Tons of bright pine and juicy citrus on the nose. Flavour has bright pine, citrus peels, and sweey chewy malts. Very nice.

On tap at Spinal Tap. Pours murky gold with a foamy white head. Resinous pine, orange peels, and chewy malts on the nose. Flavour has resinous pine, caramelized orange peels, and chewy caramel malts. Nice bitterness throughout. For a 14% IPA this is incredibly well-calibrated.

Shared can. Very dark ruby colour, beige head. Moderate aroma, hints of fruity hops and kveik. Sweet and roasty flavour, noticeable alcohol, distinct bittering hops. Won't be a favourite of mine.

0,44 boks kjøpt hos Beerhouse on Long (Cape Town), delt på RBHD-samling på Bjørnøy juni-20: brunsvart med fint skum som varer helt ned. Mørke karameller, sjokoladekjeks, nybrygget kaffe, dessertsjokolader. Fruktighet fra kveiken. Overbevisende på alle måter. A superb beer.
