Feb 5, 2010 Appearance: Pours a clear yellow gold with a fluffy white head.
Aroma: Light orange zest and grass.
Taste: Dry pilsner like biscuity malt and light citrus zest. Both gave it a crisp balance.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: A solid, dry IPA. I wouldn’t say it’s an East Coast style, but I would think this was closer to an English style beer than anything. If you have enjoyed something like the Maharaja or duganA IPA, and are expecting something big and dank, you won’t get that from this beer.

Jan 30, 2010 Bottle at Folkets Hus, Kristinehamn. A big surprise to find this stuff here. Pours a orange color with a big white head, leaving some lacing on the glass. Aroma is fresh and hoppy with tropical fruits, pineapple, grass, resin and some caramely malt. Flavour is also hoppy with a nice fresh tropical fruit character (pineapple), grass, caramel and nice resinous bitterness. Body is medium with a rather lively, but nice, carbonation. I seldom get my IPAs this fresh at pubs in Sweden, and at newly open place in a small town where the most interesting beer usually is "Murphy’s Irish Stout" or similiar this was a big, big surprise!

Jan 23, 2010 Bottle, brought back from North Dakota. Pours cloudy orange, thin white head that quickly reduces to a skim, very nice lacing however. Nose is fresh and bracing, mostly citrus fruits: orange, lemon, grapefruit, some nice grassy notes as well. Not as lifted as the best examples though. Palate is moderately bitter, with a presence of malt, and then the citrus hops, this time joined by some juniper notes arrive. Tingly and well-carbonated, feels just right. If I didn’t have to drive 14 hours to get it, I could see this being a regular purchase for me.
