On tap at Schouskjelleren, Oslo. Almost clear amber with a rather small, off-white head. Hoppy and fruity aroma with notes of peaches, mild citrus, malt and hints of pine, herbs and caramel. Moderate to medium sweet with quite balanced flavours and a fairly bitter and citrusy finish. Medium+ body with average carbonation. Well brewed - tasty and refreshing APA.

Complete black color with a creamy beige head on top. As long as the head last, it gives a great lacing. Unfortunately the head gave up to fast. Fine body with a smooth soft carbonation. Moderate sweet and a bit dry ending. Balanced bitterness. Mild aroma with coffee, roasted malt, mild chocolate and some citrus. A very fresh and balanced flavor. The citrus hopps lifted this ale to a fresh and fine brew. Especially at summer time. Coffee, chocolate and roasted malt. None to dominant.

A fine off white head that end up in a white layer and stay for a long time. Some lacing. Unusual mild aroma. Some rye, mild grapefruit hoppy and mild tropical fruity. Fine body and a god balance between sweetness and bitterness. Soft carbonation. Nice flavor with more dimensions than an usual IPA. Well balanced rye, hoppy, fruity and a bit mild spicy feeling. The last is probably because of the rye. Tasty nice IPA that I am looking forward to taste when it is upgraded!

My second from this brewery and I am still very happy. This one also looks just outstanding in my world. Unclear orange golden color with a fine white head. The head do not last very long but it remains as a white layer as long as there is beer in the glass. Lovely fruity aroma with some citrus coming up and making an ok balance. Fine body with a fresh bitterness. As it got warmer the bitterness almost killed the flavor. Really heavy bitterness after a while. Flavor do also contain a lot of tropical fruit and some mild acidic citrus to balance it. To me is a really damned lovely ale. I like it this way.

Lovely first impression. Perfect unclear orange golden color with a fine finger thick white head. Ok lacing down the glass. When you open it you get a fine mandarin aroma in your nose. Mmmmmm. Decent fine mild aroma with some citrus coming up first. Then some tropical fruits and a bit malty. Ok medium body with a moderate sweetness and a fresh bitterness. Ok carbonation, but can be a bit soft after a while. But then you have already finished it. Smooth nice flavor. No flavor to dominant. But citrus and tropical fruity are easy words to use. Fine balance and a god malty backbone. Not the most fancy beer for beer nerds. But I will definitely have more of this one. A really fresh and fine ale you can drink all night. Solid batch # 1 from these guys.
