Bottle (2x12oz). Shared with blankboy, GregClow, jerc, tupalev - courtesy of GregClow and yours truly. Poured slightly hazy orange with a smallish foamy head. Aroma - vague hops, strong bitter grapefruit hops; not balanced. Taste is mostly harsh grapefruit pith hops - mouthfell thin and very teeth-cleaningly astringent - not a great west coast IPA, linger is too sharp and long.

Aug 19, 2008 Poured a brightly coloured orange body with a fairly large white head. Aroma initially is piney, with quite a bit of citrus tones. Taste is well carbonated, lively and effervescent. Sharp hop punches in the mouth, which are strong but balanced.

Aug 7, 2008 Bottle, at Bishops Arms, Järntorget, Gothenburg. A next to clear, orange-golden body is topped by a big, lasting, off-white head leaving lacings. Grapefruit, pinecones, fruit and malty sweetness blending nicely in the aroma. Grapefruit dominates in the mouth, but leaves room for a malty sweetness and some notes of beefstock. Full to medium body. Citrusy, mostly grapefruit, finish with some bitterness. A nice beer, but it feels ordinary in a way. (080710)

Aug 3, 2008 Bottle@Bishop’s Arms, Järntorget, Göteborg. Huge offwhite head, lasting with good lacework. Clear orangey-golden color. Aroma is light sweet malts and fresh grapefruity hops. Taste is lightly toasted malts, with a touch of caramel and some relatively mild bittering hops. Light-bodied considering the alcohol strenght. Dry, hoppy finish.

Jul 27, 2008 Pours a gold/copper color with a thick white head and thick lacing. Nose of grain, fruit, and floral. Taste is smooth and dry, with subtle fruity notes and the big, out-front hops typical of an American IPA. Hoppy dry finish.

Jul 22, 2008 tap at papago... pours a slightly hazy pale golden with a creamy whitish head and lots of soapy lacing. floral grassy hops aroma is full of oranges, apricots and grain. the flavor is a little weak... dry and grainy, light citrus pith, grass, very faint pine, earthy spicy hops and a dry mildly parching finish. medium body is fairly smooth and pairs quite well with just about anything you are eating...
