Feb 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a light golden with a big creamy off-white head. Some suspended yeast or floaties. Laces well. Grassy and caramel aroma. Toasted caramel malt boddy with slight grassy hops. Medium bodied, highly carbonated.

Feb 15, 2009 Imperial pint poured into dimpled mug.
Appearance - Golden in color. A bit cloudy. 2 finger white head that diminishes rather quickly; leaving nice lacing on glass.
Aroma - Predominantly grassy with some floral and citrus notes.
Flavor - Maltier up front than the aroma would indicate. This is followed by subtle floral, citrus, and grassy hops bite.
Palatez - Light to medium mouthfeel. Not as carbonated as I expected from the style. However, my only exposure to IPA’s has been American versions.
D - This tastes good but I probably wouldn’t buy it again. Nothing wrong with it, just not to my general taste.

Feb 11, 2009 On tap at Stone. Color is a hazy bright orange/amber. The fluffy white head settled to a thick lace and sticky glass. The aroma was the flowery hops smell, with some grapefruit. Taste is big and sweet. Bubble gum and creamy. Smooth and round. No bitterness in this one. Lacking any oomph.

Feb 11, 2009 Pours orange and cloudy with light nut hues throughout. Good carbonation. Head was large and white and lingers, leaving lace. Aroma is clean but not strong. Hop citrus and malt. Flavor starts crisp and tangy. Has a nice round fruit blast in the middle of the swallow. Oranges, grapefruit - juicy stuff. Has the hop presence of an IPA but is more balanced than what you would find in a state-side IPA. I like it.

Feb 10, 2009 Bottle. Pours a little orange color with a smaller head. Aroma is some citrus and piney hops. Weaker smell and taste. Decent beer, but not one of the better APA’s that I have had.

Feb 9, 2009 okay... an IPA- it’s right on the label... but below that is "thistle" and while i like a nice dry, hoppy, IPA, i’m not that interested in taking a deep swig of thorns. a pleasant surprise, it’s delicious. VERY hoppy. some reviewers claim they tasted fruits in this brew... well the batch i had didn’t come close to have any sort of fruity taste or aftertaste. dry. bitter. and lots of it. good stuff.

Feb 7, 2009 From tap at Svea, Malmö next to the EU version on bottle. Pours clear golden orange with a small white and dense head. Mild citrus to grapefruity hops aroma. Subdued caramel malty flavoured with a distinct grapefruit and slight peach flavoured base. Slowly building bitterness and fruity accents into the finish. Distinct more hoppy than the european version which has a more pronounced thistle herbal note.
