Coppery with a decent head. Good floral hop aroma, and decent chewy hop flavor. Nothing spectacular, but I’d do fine if this was all I had in the fridge (like that would ever happen).

Amber body, thin white head. Very spicy, sharp, wild "weedy" aroma with an apple cider sweet background. Similar wildness in the flavor - more grapefruit this time but it sitl has green, spicy notes. Much more enjoyale this time around, the hops are pretty interesting.

12oz. Bottle: Smells hoppy of Goldings, and of carmel malts. Smells like a real classic English IPA. Poured amber with medium, rocky, white head that mostly diminished. Clear. Good lacing. Flavor is medium bitter. Tastes hoppy and piney. Nice hop flavor, but not overbearing; well-balanced. Medium body. Average carbonation. Easy drink. Overall a good IPA.

Pours a medium gold with a large off white creamy head. Aroma is pungent pine-citrus and floral hop, with a caramel biscuit undertone. Very smooth drinking. Sharp bitter on the palate with a clean malt body. Very nice IPA I thought.

Bottle-A copper color beer with a medium head. Solid amount of hops in the aroma and taste. Citrus flavors abound with that grapefruit bite. Solid IPA for us without a giantic hop head.

Orange copper, aromas of grapefruit citrus and floral perfume. Nicely hopped palate with floral elememts dominating. A sharper finish than what I like (the hop character starts to get you in the nose after a while), but very good regardless.

Copper colour with good head that does not diminish. Has an aroma of over-ripe fruit, but not in a bad way. Sweet taste with hops and good balance. All in all a very decent IPA.

Bottle. (4.7% ABV) It pours an orange-golden, clear body with an off-white head. The aroma is sure on the hoppy side, with citrus and pine-cones doing most of the job. The flavor continues in the same way, with a long, hoppy finish. Medium body, almost astringent in the mouth, due to the bitterness. Really quaffable, quite low alcohol IPA. Rating: 7-4-7-3-15-3.6. (080314)

Bottle. (4.7% ABV) It pours a slightly hazy, orange-golden body with a small, off-white head on top. Lovely malty, beef-stocky nose, but the most evident aromas are citrus and pine cones. Full-bodied, with lots of pine cones and citrus, on a malty, sweet, beef-stocky, lightly caramelly background. It finishes fruity, citrusy and bitter, lasting for a good while. A pity they retired this one, it could sure be my every-day beer. If it was available in Norway of course. Delicious. (080501)
