3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from K-Supermarket Kamppi. Originally rated on 21.6.2010. Quite well balanced and hoppy IPA. Nice for such a low ABV.
3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Slightly orange yellow beer with a weak and white head. Aroma is very great, tropical fruits, at least mangos, some pine and nice fructose sweetness. Taste is obviously strongly bitter, piney even resin, some fruitness, long and totally dry aftertaste. Light body that not balanced to stringly bitterness. Great aroma, but body is too thin and this beer is not balanced, still quite enjoyable and hopheads get their kicks.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
330ml bottle bought at Eat & Joy Maatilatori. Satisfying amount of bubbly, white head with good duration. Tight lacing to the glassware. Unclear, amber-gold body. Fresh and inviting aroma of floral hops. Rather sharp taste of fruity hops. Delicate bitter end. Very pleasant, especially considering the low abv (hotel room, Helsinki 04.02.2011).
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle 33 cl. Poured amber in colour with fluffy whitish head. Aroma is grassy hops and grapefruit. Flavour is similar with grapefruit mostly. Very bitter, but in a good and tasty way that is. Really nice actually.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
330ml bottle (K Kamppi, Helsinki)
7 Massive grapefruity aroma, and other new-world hop aromas. Clearly going to be a tongue-scraper.
4 Slightly hazy deep orange, massive and persistent rocky ice-cream float head.
8 Beatiful hoppy retronasals, very fruity, quite bitter resiny, and a little dark caramel. Taste has a lovely sweet bready graininess too, keeping the balance perfect.
4+ Refreshing palate, pleasant carbonation. Glorious finish, lovely light-to-mid-roast bready grains, touch of caramel or honey to keep it succulent, and both resiny dry bitter hops and aromatic fruity ones.
16- World class IPA. I’m stuck half way between being speechless at how good it is and just jibbering inanely to describe the abstract qualities that make this so good. The 330ml bottle was too small, I want more of this RIGHT NOW!!
