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 fom Tesco. A hazy blond beer with a small head. Plenty of hops in the aroma, the taste was a very citrus nice bitter finish. I did like this beer, and will go and get some more.

Pours like a CapriSun from the bottle. Tastes of water and mildly bitter hops. This is the weak sauce. Sorry.

Cloudy gold, loose white head. Woody, herbal, spruce-like aroma. Flavor also has a lot of spruce notes, mixed with woods and herbs. Nice pine bitterness in the finish. Some dry, winey notes, as well.

Bottle from Systembolaget A small disapering head, some yeast floats on top of the beer. A bit hazy liquid. A nice "every day IPA", nothing spectacular.

Copper lager-like pour, good frothy head. Smell is good, fruity, cherry, almonds, tons of hops. Taste is very hoppy, straw/wheat and strawberries, grass. Unfortunately the finish is extremely harsh bitter and metallic, rather ruins the beer. I like IPAs but this is overly bitter.

Pours a hazy light gold with a thin fluffy white head. Big citrus hop aroma with a bit of soapyiness to it. Thin body with tons of hops, very citrus dominated, with more soap in the flavor again. Very big citrus grapefruit hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Not my favorite IPA.
