COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This big, rich IPA features Simcoe hops which give it both a fruity, piney hop nose and a clean, ringing bitterness. IN-between, the malt flavor is slightly caramel for a touch of malt sweetness. This IPA is well-balanced and very expressive with hops.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - SEP 8, 2009
Bottled ay Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear amber, small head. Perfumy lychee aroma. Fairly sweet. the clean malt acts only as a backdrop to the extravagant hops. where pine needles, shampoo and lychee abound. Finishes bitter, but not to the point you’d expect after the hop aroma.

Bottle at Freaking Frog, Las Vegas
Beautiful amber color. Very nice hoppy aroma, resiny, strong. Good body structure, but less sweet than expected, then suddenly the hop resins kick in and lead to a long final. Very hopped IPA (I would like it sweeter).
