Sep 5, 2007 Updated: Sep 6, 2007Completely clear pour of a bland, dusty orange hue. Aromas of orange juice, juniper and spiced biscuits. Dirty bathroom stink, clean caramel sugar, and cayenne pepper with a little agitation. Crisp flavor of sagebrush and a really sharp, canned, pearlike sweetness. Underlying hints of mandarin orange, mango, wood. A little alcoholic warmth. Finishes on an astringent rush of plain soap. Uneventful and dull. A kiss of creamy texture does a fair job of neutralizing the vegetal bite. As an English rendition this works well enough.

Sep 3, 2007 Poured from a 12oz bottle into a shaker. This IPA poured a slightly hazy amber color with a big, rocky, beige head that quickly faded away into a thin layer of bubbles. The aroma was made up of caramel, grapefruit, and also some pine. The flavor was also full of caramel notes, followed by some citrus hop bitterness. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with light carbonation. This was an excellent, easy drinking IPA.

Sep 3, 2007 Bottle - thanks to Magne. Clear dark amber coloured body with a velvet, off-white head. Aromatic nuances of fruits and fine floral hops with a discreet milky touch. Rich flavours of caramel malts, dark fruits and spicy hops tending towards marmalade. Moderate to full mouthfeel (Sommarøya, 18.08.2007).
