4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
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!

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.
