Aug 18, 2008 Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear pink/amber, small creamy head. Light mango aroma. Sweet and clean with light-medium body. Quite fruity with some unexpe4cted cocoa. Finishes slightly metallic with medium bitterness. The primitive, hard malt character is the biggest drawback.

Mar 3, 2008 Pours a transparent bright copper with a large airy, spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasted malt and some piny resinous hops. Body starts lightly sweet and toasty malty with some fairly fresh piny bittering and flavor hops before a crisp, drier finish. Hops aren’t quite as assertive as I like in an IPA, but this one’s quite drinkable and smooth.

Nov 28, 2007 Bottle: Caramel color, light head and lacing. Nose of caramel, pine and orange, light grapefruit. The flavor is full bodied, light hops, decent finish. Respectable.
