3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
355ml bottle (Kaisla, Helsinki)
Lovely fruity hop aroma, peaches and pineapple in syrup. Simple palate, a little watery, aggressive carbonation. Pleasant sweet biscuity malt body, and the hops are there still. Finish is fizzy, and has a nice gentle bitterness. Rather watery for an IPA, and the carbonation is way too high. but we know that many yanks confuse carbonation for bitterness, so they’re probably exploiting that stupidity. Definitely needs all the crap to be poured in in order to fill out the palate, and give it some fuller candied peel zing in the taste. An adequate IPA.

Really nice fresh citrusy taste. An extremly well balanced American IPA. Looking forward to drink a few more!!

Citrus and pine in the aroma. Bittersweet, fruity flavor, with pine hops in the finish. Nice.

Light, hoppy beer with a slight bitter finish. For a session beer one could do much worse.

Nice IPA. Really what you look for, not too hoppy but enough to give you a kick. Dry hops leave a nice long linger on palate after the sip.
