An amber beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is dusty hoppy as well as slightly flowery. The flavor is sweet malty and rather hoppy. OK.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, warm, amber with a creamy, off-white head leaving a discreet lacing. Fantastic aroma of pine and citrus. Medium body with lightly sweet caramel malt that is quickly overpowered by distincly bitter aroma hops with some citric notes as well. It starts pretty promising, but somehow fails to deliver. 280307

Bottle at home. Clear orange coloured with a medium sized off white head. Fruity aroma of caramel, grass, hops and tea. Fruity flavour of caramel, hops, tea, grass and pine needles. Hoppy finish.

Bottle, 7%. Weak caramelly and piney hop aroma. Cloudy grey copper colour. Big stable creamy off-white head. The flavour is mildly caramelly with a good clean bitterness. Not as sweet as many American IPAs. Well-balanced, but should have more flavour considering the 7% ABV.

Rating: 3.7/5.0
Score: **4
-------- /> The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Hazy amber color; creamy head. Nice hop aroma, with scent of sweet oranges. Good mouthfeel, medium caramel, strong hop, very aromatic, with toffee tones. Extremely powerful and long final, a bit fruity too and resiny.
Tasted side to side with Bell’s Two Hearted IPA, the latter wins.
