Well, who am I to break a theme? In reference to my previous review, this is how you do it...adult branding for adults who know what they like, and that is good beer. I don’t think citra is my favourite hop but this is refreshing. My family are home. I am happy.

Draught at Ölrepubliken, Göterborg, on April 9, 2013.
During the De Molen Tap Takeover event.
Hazy golden color, fluffy white head. Bitter, citrus, hoppy, malty taste. A bit weak mouthfeel, low bitterness. Malty, straw scent.
An IPA, really? Well, as for an English lower ABV version perhaps. Pretty nice if not looking for a super hoppy, bitter, strong IPA, but just a nice drinkable fresh beer.

Light golden color. Distinct aroma of a typical pale ale. A quite long and sour aftertaste.

Bottle, at IPAnema Beer Bar, Thessaloniki. Golden colour; very enticing citrus and floral aroma; lots of hoppiness and citrus in the flavour. Really balanced, quite delicate, a firm bitter "bite", astringent, and light-of-body. A really charming beer. (I know, I know - but "charming" is just the right word here. I promise.)

Bottle on Tap @ ölrepubliken. Hazy golden thick but light foam. Citrus, a little bitterness but very light.

Honey coloured coloured with a foamy white head. Hint of orange peel in the aroma. Tastes citrussy and hoppy, with a slight tangy-bitterness. Very smooth.

IPA monovarietal con muy buena apariencia visual, color naranja y con espuma persistente. el aroma es muy bueno, pero éste no se transmite en el gusto.

Bottle from Asahiya. Massive Citra nose. Bright golden straw color, one-finger somewhat rocky head. Hops, light peach flavor, and some honey / serious hop burn in mid / ends with a drum roll of bittering. Thin body. Great nose. Citra overwhelms in mid palate. Could use a little more body to support it. Still, very good, tasty stuff.

330ml bottle pours a golden orange color with a 2 finger white head that retains well and leaves some soapy lacing on the side of the glass. Aroma is pleasant with orange zest and pine. Taste is a bold citrusy and pine hop bitterness with an underlying malty sweetness. This brew is nicely balanced and has an abundance of carbonation leaving a nice sensation on the tongue. A very well done IPA that I highly recommend others to try.

Deep golden color with a huge off white head. Great smell. Aroma is lots of citrus, tropical fruit and grass. Taste is citrus, moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration.
