3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20Bottle at Olympen, Oslo. Hazy amber with a ddense, lacing, medium head. Rich, bready citrus hops and yeasty aroma. Spicy rye bread flavours, somewhat harsh bitterness. A bit hard on the tongue. Interesting, but the flavours clash rather than blend.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
July 2010. Bottle. Middle of the road IPA - nothing special. Drinkable and enjoyable, but lots of better options out there.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at Sorbon. Light amber, low head. Citric, some pineapple in the aroma. Fruity taste, balanced bitterness.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at St. Augustine. Slightly hazy gold. Aroma of pine, grass, honey. Taste is caramel, tropical fruit. Balanced, dry finish that approaches late in the game.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Yellow with a white head. Aroma has some grapefruit and orange notes, very fruity. The flavor is not quite as hoppy as the aroma but still contains some grapefruit and tropical fruit. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

26th May 2013
On tap at Akkurat. Light haze on this amber - gold beer, good pale cream coloured head. Palate is softish with fine minerally carbonation. Light creamy malt, slightly dry. Bitterish tangerine peel, slight floralness. Finishes smooth and dry with mild peel bitterness. Good but somewhat muted for a US IPA.
2.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice zesty aroma, light amber color. Given the high abv, it is pretty light for flavor. Mix of stone fruit and a light bitter finish but had some moth coating resinous hops.

3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very light IPA. Pours a light orange. I was expecting more citrus in this style but still refreshing. Lacing covers the glass on the way down. Piney but faint/watered down.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draught at Houghs Pgh. Poured amber orange with light white head. Aroma of sweet pine. Smooth taste of pine. Ok at best.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Coppery-tan with a great, lasting head that left a nice cap of light tan foam and sticky lace.
Aroma is some mild floral hops, a smidge of maltiness, a touch of fruits, a bit lacking on aroma but not bad.
Taste is more lightly floral hops with a fairly pronounced bitterness, like it had a big early bittering charge of something strong like magnum or warrior, and a lighter late addition of flavor and aroma hops.
Body is slightly watery with a lingering bitterness.
Overall I’d say it’s a bit out of balance, needing more late hops additions, but it’s not bad.
