Cloudy golden color; medium sized creamy head. The aroma is pungent as expected, with dominant passion fruit, but also some cream, soil, like the Bramling Cross tasted just before. Correct body; quite good caramel and toffee flavor, quite dry mouthfeel; the hop is good, but it doesn’t shine as it should in this beer, the fruity and fresh character being covered by the strong malt flavor, and having a too high earthy impression, soil; the final bitterness is strong. In the end, it’s anyway a very pleasant beer.

Cloudy light amber color, with a medium sized head. Very strong aroma of passion fruit, pungent and sweet; other tropical fruits as well. The mouthfeel is quite dry although the body is not weak; good caramel and toffee flavor, evident, but discreet enough to let the hop shine; the flavor has a light earthy side; good bitterness, without being excessive, and very aromatic and fruity hopping.
Tasted side to side to the Citra; this one has a much cleaner flavor, and therefore better hop experience.
Well blended and refreshing.

(Bottle) Hazy golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, passion fruit, orange marmalade and resinous hops. Fruity, malty taste with passion fruit, citrus, black-currant, gooseberries, hints of caramel and generous amounts of resinous, citric hops in the finish. More than medium body, with a slight sweetness. Solid hop character. Very nice beer.

Color anaranjado con una buena espuma blanca y poca carbonatacion aparente. Aroma a frutas tropicales y a uvas pasas. Sabor a lúpulo por todas partes con notas a Malta y ligeramente dulce con un final seco y amargo con toques a frutos secos. El alcohol esta perfectamente integrado

Bottle from Brewdog.com. Very flowery and citrusy. Very nice indeed, probably my second favourite of the ipa is dead originals.

The beer in the glass is orange-yellow, very cloudy, with fine creamy head. It smells lots like aroma hops, flowery, fruity (orange and lemon) and light caramel. Starts with a flowery aroma hops, coupled with some caramel, and again a lot of orange and citrus fruits. The middle part is dominated by the orange flavor, paired with some citrus and floral hops. In the background it is slightly caramelly. Goes into a long-lasting, very orangey finish with some grapefruit and flowery hops.

Hazy orange with a frothy white head. Aroma is peach, grapefruit. Body is oily with a medium carbonation. Bitter taste

Bottle. Hazy golden orange with dense off white coloured head. Big floral perfumey aromas dominated by passionfruit. Flavours are sweet upfront before decent resiny finish. Medium mouthfeel.

(Draught@Pikkulintu, rated 2011-08-09) Murky copper with a firm head. Exotic-peachy fruit in the nose, with berries and some stuffiness. Herby-fruity flavor with caramely maltiness and even some vegetables. Quite creamy, soft and full-bodied palate. Trailing the Citra version in every respect, but not exactly bad.

Det här är en av de bättre ölen i ’ipa is dead’ serien. Den har en kraftfull smak som går lite åt det blommiga hållet, men ändå inte riktigt. Efterbeskan/smaken är lång och trevlig, riktigt lång.

Hazy orange with a medium, white head. Fruity with hop tones. Medium to full body with a long, bitter finish.
