Aug 2, 2009 This is not a beer for the faint hearted. Reddy gold with a white head, it has a fruity aroma and a pleasant blend of maltiness and bitter flavour in the mouth. But as it passes down your throat, it develops an intense hop bitterness. A true beer of character and very good; the antithesis of bland, mass produced lagers.

Jul 27, 2009 Tap: nice thick white head and a golden body. Clearly not your average American IPA. Citrus and not some hops get your nose. Taste is hoppy, but in a different way than most IPAs. Tangy and the fruitiness has a strange little edge. Overall, a very tasty brew. Glad I got it.

Jul 26, 2009 A fruity aroma with hops & lychee predominant. This beer looks like it might be a bit lightweight...however, as it goes down, this beer starts to punch it’s weight. and become’s a champion that is not easily forgotten or gotten over in a hurry.
The bitterness stays on the palate for ages and the hoppiness gets better and better.

Jul 26, 2009 33cl bottle. Medium, creamy white head on moderately carbonated golden orange body with a slight haze. Piney, resiny hops prickle the nose, juicy, lemony fruits. Agressive yet balanced hops, grapefruity and piney in the mouth on a light to medium body, but this is by no means light on flavour. This is tasty drinking!

Jul 26, 2009 Nice IPA, powerful but not strong. Nice subtle tropical fruit and herbal aroma. Apperence is a bit average with low low low carbonation and practically no head in a very hazy orange appearence. Flavour is sweet malt upfront that finishes with a nice resinous hoppy finish.

Jul 23, 2009 It pours a clear yellow with no foam. It’s strange - the bottles bought in Sweden all have extremely low carbonation and hence the beer pours with no head, whereas ratebeerians from other countries seem to experience specimens that does foam when poured. The swedish veriant really is an ugly beer! Aroma is kinda nice and classic for the style; basil and citrusy notes from the yeast and hops. Taste is bitter, but flowery. Finish is a little bit sour, bitter and dry. An ok IPA.

Jul 22, 2009 Really hazy straw yellow in the glass - looks way more like a Saison or even a wit than an IPA. Nose is delicious strawberry spicy hops and a little but of pleasant funkiness, like Port Salut cheese. Taste is more of the berry to start, with a light mouthfeel, and some slight tartness like cider vinegar leading to a slowly building woodiness on the finish that is more pronounced the more you have. Really unique and very tasty IPA.
