This brew poured a medium sized head of fine white bubbles that left a good lacing and a tranparent softly carbonated light brown body. It has a medium strength hop aroma and a strong bite to its hoppy IPA flavor. Its mouthfeel is tingly initially then smoothens in its finish.

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.

(Bottled, 4.7% ABV) Clear, deep copper color with a smallish, firm head. Sweetish and citrusy, pine-resiny, grapefruity aroma with some berries. Bitter and aromatic, very fruity flavor with berry-toffeeish sweetness, and a long, bitter and dryish finish. Medium-bodied, slicky palate with a bit foamy carbonation. Very nice and balanced body for a 4.7%. Feels like they’ve only changed the ABV in the label to be able to sell this in Finland :) A great session beer, if the ABV really is correct! (Bottled, 5.8% ABV, was 8-3-7-4-15=3.8) Clear amber color with a small, quite tight head. Strongly aromatic-hoppy, sweetish berry (gooseberry, black currant leaves) aroma with pine hints. Pine-hoppy, berry-malty, slightly toffee-sweet flavor with a bitter, but fading finish. Medium-bodied, slicky palate with balanced carbonation. Good stuff with character.

Poured copper-colored with a good poofy head. There's a musty aroma with little floral character. The taste corresponds ... hoppy, to be sure, but some how gristy and caramely, rather than the fruity bitter hoppiness you'd expect. Different for an American IPA, but a decent ale nonetheless.

Orange with a bubbly white head. Piney, grape, grassy, flowery, soapy hop aroma and taste. Very dry bitter & light bodied. Pleasant and drinkable - but not excellent! Could need a malty background! Tasted 2nd time feb 08. Deserved a higher rating 3,5 - 3,7.

Bottle Grassy nose. Drank from bottle, but the beer Nor spilled over the table looked good. Light body, pine and grass hop notes.
