(Keg at Pikkulintu, 20170429) The beer poured deep golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, spiciness and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, spiciness and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A nice hoppy brew.

Crisp light amber and copper coloured body with a nice, three centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of bright and grassy hops with a dose of floral and herbal elements, and a smooth sweetness that is very noticeable. Big hops noticeable up front with a large grassy flavour, some apricots and mellow fruits and a nice herbal and almost piney finish, without much malt at all, and fairly easy-to-drink, but still showing that good hop bitterness. Aftertaste shows the good hoppy flavour with grass and resin and a smooth finish with a mild sweetness and a very subdued malt element as well. Overall, a nice Light IPA with a solid profile and a smooth maltiness, but big hop bite at the end. I sampled this sixteen ounce can after a hockey game in Arlington, Virginia on 24-April-2017 - Thanks J.P.!

Draft. Slightly hazy deep golden color, fluffy off white head, not ugly like some of those NE IPAs. Aroma of spiced brown bread. Taste is spiced and moderately bitter. Nice.

Week old can > tulip. A: Pours huge yellow head atop a burnished orange body. Mostly clear. Good retention and thick lace. S: Pine and sweet baked bread. Slight hint of bitter orange. T: Very bitter with pine and tart pith. Bread from the nose seems lost in the hop resin. Light citrus shows up late. It has a sort of powdery persimmon quality that presents in the nose taste and feel. Unsure what to make of it but it’s off-putting. M: Light but hardly watery, with lots of rough resin. Average carbonation. O: It’s bitter enough to satisfy hopheads but ultimately this is not good.

Canned, from Systembolaget. Hazy amber, rich head. Caramelly nose with some grapefruit. Sweet with solid body and rounded mouthfeel. Chewy crystal malt. Caramel and grapefruit. Long bitter finish. Very solid uncomplicated amber ale - not sure where the Irish part is, though
