(355 ml bottle at Karlson’s Garage & Bar, Göteborg) Labeled 4.7% ABV, which seems very very low for an IPA. Clear golden color, big fluffy orange head. Sweet and citrucy hoppy scent. Also vanilla and milk, blood-oranges smell. Very bitter taste, no way it’s only 36 IBU! Grape aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel, big bitterness.

Keg at kickball. Pours med. brown with decent head retention. One dimensional malty body. Hoppy finish. Very average.

12 oz. bottle from sampler...pours a gentle opaque copper-orange with a near-perfect head, slow in dissipation...hints of pine fight with an overpowering hops aroma...crunchy (?), sharp warmth on the tongue--but services the whole tongue, thus balancing on an IPA tightrope...warm aftertaste; hops in effect, but more yielding than the aroma would indicate (unlike the alcohol?)...a serviceable IPA--reflects their pale ale in its balance...

I was acutally surprised about this one. I thought it looked good but a guy at the store told me it was not good. I enjoyed this one. Very piney nose. Tastes of pine and hops and malt. Not much else to say its really good.

355 ml bottle. Pours a nice amber with a dense off-white head. Nice floral, piney nose. Medium semi-dry body. Initial malt profile leads into a moderate dosing of hops for a nice edgy finish.

Pours hazy brown with a small white head. Citrus hop aroma. Nice bitterness that has a nice malt finish. Nice full mouth feel. Pretty good IPA.

Bottle at No. 5. Amber with a large beige head, some lacings. Aroma moderate malty (caramel) and hoppy (citrus). Flavor moderate sweet and dominant bitter, yet round. Light/medium body.
