(ABV 4.7%) Coppery colored, medium sized yellow head. Aroma is rich with nice flowers and slight perfumy tones, bitter hops dominating. Medium bodied, rather full for 4.7%. Flavor is also intense with dominating flowery hops, lemon and some caramel. Aftertaste is strong and lasting with bitterness. Good balanced IPA.

Excelllent aroma of cirtus and a hint of floral hops. Pale orange color with a medium white head with good lacing. Less bitter than the aroma leads you to think. Sweet bitter finish and a little watery palate.

Bottle Pours a light copper color with a nice white head. Strong hoppy aroma with citrus and pine. Flavor is smooth and hoppy with a sour/bitter finish. A decent ipa

355ml bottle at 4.7% ABV (for Finnish alcohol tax reasons presumably). Floral, citrus and light fruits aroma - the US IPA fingerprint. Taste is similarly typical of the modern US bastardisation of the IPA style. Unsubtle bitterness, fairly metallic, and not well-cordinated with the otherwise fairly pleasant maltiness. Unsophisticated and not a good example of an IPA. For that, skip this, and hit the classic instead.

Clear orange colour, small off-white head with floral and grapefruit aromas. Bitter-sweet flavours with citrus and syrup. Flowery. Long bitter aftertaste.

I must say I prefer this to the Classic Pale ale. I had the 0.355l bottle with 4.7% alc. Nice flowery, a bit bbq aroma. Intense perfume and pepper in the taste. The flavours hit you and stay for a long time. Good one, it almost tastes Brittish ;)

Clear amber color, short head. Aroma of hop, flowers, sweet honey, grapefruit, citrus. Bitter taste, some grapefruit, bit dry and sweet. Not bad.

Aroma of fruity (orange/grapefruit) and floral hops with some caramel malty tones. Clear, amber coloured with a lasting, off-white head. Taste is moderate bitter, sweet with floral and fruity hops, some caramel malts. Medium bodied. Nice stuff.
