Rich honey orange pour with lasting offwhite head. Smell is sweet grassy, soapy hops, bordering on some spices. More pale ale like, I thought, than an IPA, but with notes of clove, some hops and sweetness. Not one of my favorite IPAs by far, but drinkable. Wouldn’t really recommend.

A nice IPA. Plenty of aroma, pours a beautiful color with a long lasting lacy head. Strong flavor, but not overly hopped.

Pours copper with little lacing and quickly diminishing head. Aroma is non-distinguishable although not unpleasant. Tastes of hops with a light malt but the finishing hops stand out in the finish. Moreover, those hops diminish leaving a clean and crisp feeling not usually associated with IPA’s. I would consider this more of a pale ale but overall its very drinkable but i give it a low rating for posing as a traditional IPA.

Bottle @ Plan B. Average off-white head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Clear sparkling amber color. Aroma was very hoppy with notes of grapefruit, pine, floral and citrus notes. Also notes of caramel, apricot. Very smooth and soft mouthful. Medium bodied with a dry texture and a soft carbonation. Well balanced with an overweight of bitter flavor. Dry and bitter finish with a funny underlying sweet tone at the end. Nice IPA in the Danish summer.

Bottle. Medium high off-white lasting head. Clear bobber body. Sweet and fruity aroma. apple pears) . Dry and spicy and hoppy smoooth and well rounded flavor. Alcohol percentage seems just just right for this beer. Low carbonation. Long dry and yet smoot bitter aftertaste. Pleasant surprise.
