vyvvy (1516), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA Sep 2, 2007 On tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy amber with a small white head with good retention. The aroma has citrus, pineapple and something that reminds me of a locker room, yet I’m not repulsed by it. Medium body with semi-soft carbonation. The taste has the dryness of the rye, a nice form of harshness and dry grapefruits. The finish continues even drier with pine needles and pine cones. A very enjoyable IPA that I wish I could get on more than just a stopping place on a long road trip. Marsiblursi (1168), Göteborg, Sweden Apr 1, 2007 (Bottle, thanks moejuck) Pours hazy orange. Hoppy aroma with tones of tangerines, roses and malty/ grainy notes of toasty caramel and rye. Undertones of pine, apricot and grapefruit with a floral hint. Hoppy flavour as well with tones of grapefruit and some flowers. Some toasty caramell undertones. Light sweet and medium bitter. Some grapefruit bitterness lingers along with a touch of caramel and rye. Medium body.
