Commercial Description:
A beer of inherent contradiction. This heavy weight of the beer world is strikingly delicate with a white gold appearance. The light fruity aroma dominates the initial confrontation; lychee, kiwi and passionfruit all prevail with subtle nuances of cherry and strawberry. Don’t be fooled however by this smooth medium bodied ale. As it trickles down your throat as this wolf in sheep’s clothing begins to grow teeth. The bite comes as the bitterness builds and endures no matter how hard the malty sweetness of the alcohol tries to tame this ferocious beast.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear yellow/golden with a small white head and an aroma of hops, citrus and grass. The flavour is high on hops, some malts and grapefruits. A nice bitter finish. Loely beer!

A decent but somewhat bland IPA. Aroma was grassy hops with a hint of light fruit. Pour was a nice light gold with a one finger white head. Taste was very hoppy, but there was this underlying sourness that didn’t sit right with me. Not much malt to balance the hops (which is fine by me) but that sourness made the beer taste like it was infected.

Dirty golden pour with big head. Sticky hops on the nose with citrus as well. Flavor is hops, resing, and nice crisp biscuit malts. Nice carbonation and medium mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pale brown body. Small frothy head which is gone in a moment. Nice fresh hoppy aroma. Very crisp. A nice sweetness too. Light malty flavour, with nice hops. A very heavy bitterness finishes off the beer. (At home, 22.01.09)

Pour is a hazy gold with a large white head. Aroma is lots of resiny hops with some citus in there. Flavor is again lots of resin hop with some citrus and biscuit malts. A decent beer but way to expensive just to try. I found this at half price and i would consider that a good deal.

Bottle. Pours somewhat of a hazy yellow like a pilsner with a weak, white head which fades almost immediately. The nose is musty/dusty like an old burlap sack with some past-its-prime earthy hop character and a hint of pear/champagne. Pale malt backbone with notes of grapefruit, lemon and some herbal hop bitterness. Ample bitterness, doesn’t end too harsh. The body is lifeless with very low carbonation and a thin mouthfeel. I couldn’t get into this one.

A 0.33L bottle from Alko. Fruity nose. Pale head. Hazy yellow hey coloured. Soft hoppy taste. Fresh slightly lemony taste. Also some hints of orange.
