3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 yngwie (10760) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - AUG 28, 2011
On tap at Øl Festival 2011. It pours a two-finger, dense, light beige head over a clear, dark golden-orange body. Lacings left. Citrus peel, oranges, peaches and some malty sweetness onthe nose. Nicely bitter flavor, dealing easily with the sweetness from the pale malts. Tropical fruits and some pine cones too. Full-bodied and with some warmth. Mostly bitter finish. Although a bit on the sweet side, it’s a lovely beer. 110526

Fresh and sweetish aroma with hops, vanilla and fruits, especially pineapple. Refreshing flavour is hoppy with fruitiness and pineapple. Hops do not linger in the aftertaste, which is quite light actually. Good IPA, but a bit short-tasted and slightly thin for a 7.2% abv beer.
