3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Golden orange, small white head, thin retention. Nose is fruity, hoppy, with pine resin, peaches, mango. Taste is malts, some soft, creamy sweetness with caramel, hoppy bitterness comes in in the middle of the taste. Bitter hoppy, fruity, somewhat dry finish. Medium body, oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice.

Bottle from Alko, Keminmaa. Beautiful hazy amber looks, white head dissapears. Strong hoppy aroma has citric fruits. Taste has some sweet malts combined with nice bitterness. Long aftertaste is fruity hoppy. Balance = good, body = enough to hide alcohol. I would buy again.

Pours clear amber with medium head. Aroma is hoppy as promised. Some pineapple and citrusfruits. Flavor is hops and fruits and citrus. Somehow really refreshing and enjoyable. Great palate.

Dec 2012 Cold bottle on Christmas day. Fizzy with a decent head. Lots of astringent bitterness with a bit of pineapple, but lots more grapefruit. A good pale ale in comparison to others I’ve had. Not very floral, which is good.

Bottle. Citrus hops and toffee malt aroma. More of the same in the flavour with a lot more malt than I expected. Tasty but not enough hops for me.

Ottima! Che bomba! Bella arancione, schiuma cremosa non molto persistente, tripudio di odori natalazi, freschi, pino o rosmarino su tutti. I sapori freschi si ritrovano anche nel sapore dissetante! retrogusto fresco saporito lunghissimo e persistente!

Kaatuu lasiin oranssinruskeana ja kirkkaana, vaahto on melko niukka (1 sormen paksuinen), mutta pitsiä jättävä. Haju on vahvan havumetsäinen. muita hajuja tukemassa ovat maamaisuus,ylikypsä hedelmä ja mausteet. Maku on ennen kaikkea mainen/multainen, mutta myös havuisuus on vahvaa. Keitettyä vihannestakin nousee (valitettavasti) esiin. Maussa tukena on hieman myös trooppista hedelmää, makeutta ja maustetta. Suutuntuma on keskitäyteläinen ja yllättävän niukasti katkeroitua. Melko öljyinen tuntuma jopa. Ihan mukiinmenevä IPA, havuisuus on vahvaa, mutta ei tämä nyt oikein sytyttänyt.

Keg at Brewdog Camden. Amber / dark orange with a thin off white head. Exoctic fruit aromas, little bit of sweetness as well. Hop bitterness is biting, but mellows a lot when it warms up slightly. Malt and hop are well balanced. Medium body and slightly chewy / resinous.

Bottle at home. Clear brown-gold color, medium smooth white head. Absolutely great aroma of hops, spruce, sweetness. Mouthfeel nice. Short hops, citrus, body could be stronger, taste could be longer. Nice taste but body is missing.
