Commercial Description:
Torpedo is an assertive American IPA deep reddish-gold in color, with a smooth and bready malt presence and over-the-top hop aromas. The beer has a solid bitterness and a massive hop flavor, yet remains easy drinking with a pleasant dry finish.

Big, creamy, off-white head. Aroma of pine and citrus. Pours an amber-brown color. Really nice mouthfeel with some creaminess. Good amount of hoppy flavor. A very good IPA.

Bottle, bought @ Systembolaget, Hyltebruk.
Pours brownish amber with a big, creamy, off-white head. Aroma has lots of pine on top of a fine caramel profile. Grapefruit, citrus and light apricot. Highish carbonation, really lovely dry mouthfeel with some lovely creaminess. Flavour is a lovely hoppy beer. Pine, grapefruit on top of a very good malty caramel base. This is really a super well-balanced IPA.

Ah,.. the citra hop. Has a piney aroma I usually equate with SN brews. Pretty complex hop flavor profile. Primarily pine, but there is a nice fruity,apricot aspect. Nice malty backbone. A pretty refined, hoppy brew. Very good!

Cask@GBBF 2009. Lovely. Hoppy, yet clean and sweet. Reddish. Malt is a bit darker, robust and flavoursome than an APA. Good brew.

Amber orenge. Citrus hop nosw. Big resinous piny hop flavour, with a oily, lasting bitterness. Underlying fruity sweetness balances it out and makes it very drinkable

bottled, pours crystal clear light amber with large tan head, sweet piney hop aroma, caramel malt taste with well balanced large hop flavors of citrus/pine, lingering hop bitters on palate though not as big as expected, very big tastes!
