mjs (277), Finland May 11, 2008 (Bottle at One Pint on 2008-04-21) Hazy amber. Plenty of hops in nose. Quite full palate. Lots of malts and hops in taste. Alchohol and sweetness. Salty liquorice. Miksu (1074), Jyväskylä, Finland Apr 24, 2008 0.5 l bottle. Hazy amber color with creamy head. Tropical fruits, lemon, flowery hops, dull dry hops and honeyish sweetness in the aroma. Bittersweet, flowery and lemony flavor with notes of mango, lemon and orange and some sharp alcohol. Too sweet, not even the strong bitterness balances the syrupy taste. Good tropical fruit character. Bragesnak (752), Aarhus, Denmark Apr 22, 2008 Møde i DØ - Aarhus Syd. Feb 08.
Alcohol well hidden in a great hop bitterness and a balanced malt sweetness oh6gdx (4760), Vaasa, Finland Apr 21, 2008 Bottled. Slightly hazy deep orange golden colour with mediumsized quite lasting white head. Aroma is bigtime floweryness along with some toffee and caramel. Flavour is flowery and fruity hops with hints of zest and some mild toffeeishness. Alcohol gives a nice warming feeling while drinking. A goodly done brew. Jukkabro (2233), Tampere, Finland Apr 20, 2008 Dark yellow-brown colored with hazy apearance. Little white head. Extremely rich IPA-aroma with flowery and caramelly, even soapy tone, hops still dominating. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is even richer: flowers and hops dominate, lemon also comes up. Surprisingly sweet start, which turns to mildly alcoholic and flowery, still mildly sweet and alcoholic aftertaste.
