Commercial Description:
This big, rich IPA features Simcoe hops which give it both a fruity, piney hop nose and a clean, ringing bitterness. IN-between, the malt flavor is slightly caramel for a touch of malt sweetness. This IPA is well-balanced and very expressive with hops.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, dark, warm, amber golden with an off-white head. Lightly floral hop aroma. Medium body with some caramel notes, but otherwise completely dominated by dry and lightly fruity aroma hops leaving some bitterness. 290307

Bottled ay Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear amber, small head. Perfumy lychee aroma. Fairly sweet. the clean malt acts only as a backdrop to the extravagant hops. where pine needles, shampoo and lychee abound. Finishes bitter, but not to the point you’d expect after the hop aroma.

Dark amber colour. Fresh citrus nose (calamansi, Korean sugarbomb mandarins) with crystal malt/breadcrust in the background. Quite frankly, the bright top note contrasts the malts a bit too much. Both elements are more rounded on the palate, however. The bright papaya and kumquat notes work well with toasty, earthy, woody malt complexity.

Bottle at Freaking Frog, Las Vegas
Beautiful amber color. Very nice hoppy aroma, resiny, strong. Good body structure, but less sweet than expected, then suddenly the hop resins kick in and lead to a long final. Very hopped IPA (I would like it sweeter).
