Sep 17, 2009 Bottle at Monk’s Café, Stockholm.
Pours amber with off white head.
Great aroma of hops (simcoe), pineapple, papaya, peach and pine.
The flavour is not as good as the aroma. Its dry with notes of hops, fruit, pine, caramel and grass. It has a long bitter after taste.

Sep 16, 2009 12 oz. bottle courtesy of my son. Pours a clear amber-orange with an average off-white foamy head that lasts throughout and leaves excellent lacing. Great citrus and floral aroma that hits you every time you tip the glass. The flavor is a big hop taste of grapefruit, tangerine, floral, and pine. Nicely balanced with caramel sweetness yet still allowing the hop bitterness come through and linger to the end. Medium bodied. Great IPA.

Sep 16, 2009 (Bottle, Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with grapefruit, apricots and pine needles. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of apricots, orange, grapefruit, pine needles and resin. Loads of piney, citrussy hops in a fairly bitter finish. Medium body, with some caramel sweetness. Lovely well balanced IPA with an impressive hop character.

Sep 16, 2009 Bottle (in NZ). A bright and clear copper, no head. Lots of tropical fruit on the clear nose, with some floral notes as well. Plenty of bitterness all the way through the swallow, and those hops stay with you well after the finish. Tropical fruits again in the flavour, but swome good juicy touches from the malt as well. A very good new world IPA.

Sep 14, 2009 US trip Aug/Sept 2009 - Notes indicate beer from the bottle, decanted into glass, sweet malt, with some hops, but finished too sweet with not quite enough hops to back up the malt profile - maybe some storage issues, tho was from a fridge and well within dates
