Finn (1073), Tromsø, Norway Jan 29, 2008 Bottle 0,5l at Blå Rock Cafe Tromsø. Strength 5,3%. Colden coloured. A fluffy white head. Strong aroma of citrus. Flavour dominated by pleasant fruityness. A lasting sweet and fruity aftertaste with hints of apricot. This is a real IPA: Well hopped and a bit strong. A nice beer for my rating no. 500. D (465), Kraków, Poland Jun 22, 2008 Orangey colour, solid head. Well balanced, has some fruity flavour reminding me of rose or something. Nice bitterness in finish. Very good. Rune (1508), Tromsø, Norway Apr 1, 2008 Two 500ml bottles at Blå Rock Cafe, Tromsø. This beer turned out to be the hightlight of my Halloween celebration 06. Amber coloured body with brilliant clarity, lasting white foam and nice lacing. Sharp and rich floral-hoppy aroma - very inviting. Fruity flavour of succulent grapefruit and oranges supported by sweet malt and lingering bitterness in an elegant finish.Very moreish and a role model for the style (31.10.2006 and later). DruncanVeasey (1620), Burbage, Leicestershire, England Apr 14, 2007 Really impressed with this. But I have been stranded in a beerless, rain-sodden desert/council estate for the past 2 weeks (Costa Del ’Sol’). Deceptively lagery gold pour. Juicy mandarin hop snout. Bitterly citrussy with a delicately biscuity malt balance. How I’ve missed beers that taste of hops. Top-drawer refreshment. armando629 (387), Budapest, Hungary Mar 10, 2008 0,5 l bottle. You can buy&drink it in the Caledonia pub. What an amazing orange color, and a small but delisicious head! Good oily-fruity-citrus nose with some malt. Nice appearance... The taste is oily too with a characteristic hop flavour on a fruity-pineapple/citrus/orange aroma. Nice hopfully-lemony aftertaste. Good-complex beer. Give me some more IPA in the sea of boring hungarian lagers! I like it! Thank you for the instructions, ogreface!
