I love IPA but this has something funny. something wrong. lots of sweetness and lemon and grapefruit. Hops are overwhelming, good hops but the mix and quantity fails.

12 oz. bottle. A stable one-finger near-white head upon a bright, pale amber colored body. Cream caramel and pink grapefruit to the nose. Smooth, dry malt flavor, with an evident, light fruity and piney bitterness. Floral notes. Quite filling. Dry fruity-bitter ending. Pretty good stuff.

Clear, light coppery color with small but lacy white head. Aroma is strongly hoppy with pine, grass, citric notes and some caramel malts. Also some strange side aroma. Flavor is slightly buttery, toffy and grassy with citrus fruits. Alcohol is not present at all. Nice crispy hops in the end. Medium-bodied, relatively low carbonated palate. Very pure IPA.

Bottled. Pours clear copper to amber with a thin, quie cramy head that has some bigger bubbles. The aroma is strong on hops: pine, resin, fowers, dryish wood and some sweeter citrucy fruitness and peach. Hops are dominating, but there´s quite strong toffy maltiness on the background. The finish is dry and fresh hoppy. The flavor is bitter, but there is certainly enough malts to stand it. Toffy and slightly buttery malts give great balance. The palate is medium bodied, quite thick and drysis. The finish is long and sticky bitter witha malty flavors. I really like it!

Bottled (BB 10/2009). Clear amber color, small white steadty head, some lace. Strong resiny-cat piss hoppy aroma giving the feeling of burned tyres. Piney, citrusy hoppy flavor with good hop bitterness. Finish is quite sticky bitter. Less malty than expecting for 7% IPA. Long fresh cut grass hoppy aftertaste. IBUs are ok, but many ways out of balance.

A clear golden colored beer, with a thick white head. The aroma of hops, with fruits like citrus. The taste is very bitter with a lot of fruits like citrus, grapes and hints of orange. The aftertaste is long bitter.

Quite strong, a bit toffee malty aroma of citrus, pine and flowers. Slightly toffee malty flavor is dominated by citrusy, piney and flowery hoppiness. Dry and quite bitter finish.

355 ml bottle. Finland. Amber colour with thin white head. Fruity and tempting hoppy aroma. Flavour is hoppy. A bit warming alcohol. I like this.
