Bottle (500ml). Poured golden orange with a small rocky, white head which was average lasting. Aroma was of fruity/floral hops with sweet biscuity malts, mandarin, goose berries, light notes of honey and a squeeze of grapefruit. Flavor was a mild fruity hop bitterness, biscuity malts, juicy oranges, goose berries, zesty lemon, light notes of caramel with some minerals in the finish. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation, a dry mouthfeel and a good length finish. Well balanced - good session ale.

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 27 March 2009) Pale amber colur with lasting, frothy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of citrus, apricots and a fresh, clean malt profile. Fruity, malty taste with caramel, orange, apricots and citrussy hops in the finish. Medium body. Nice beer with a balanced citrussy hop character, more mellow than the US version.

Bottle from Morrisons. Deep golden in colour, with slight carbonation and a decent, frothy white head. Apricot and citrus hop aroma with a touch of honeyed sweetness. Slightly prickly mouth feel. Flavour had plenty of tropical fruit, floral hops, some sweet malts and a gently dry finish. Good stuff.

Decent blonde IPA pour, moderate head. Taste is a little bland, some hops and a hint of fruit, with a dry finish. No real punch.
