UPDATED: OCT 16, 2010 Bottle. Copper red with a beige head. Aroma: tropical fruit, toffee, some port. Taste: butterscotch, caramel, pineapple and other tropical fruits, rather sweet, medium bitterness. Pretty full mouthfeel with a bit of alcohol.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bärnstensfärgad vätska som drar åt orange. Relativt lågt skum. Stor doft av mörk söt citrus. Stark, alkoholen slår igenom lite. amerikanska humletoner med grape, gräs och tall. Bra balans mellan sötma, beska och friskhet. Skulle kategorisera som 1½IPA.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Reddish brown coloured with a small and lasting off white head. Aromas of grass, spices, grapefruit, caramel and pineapple. Flavour of bitter hops with notes of caramel and sweet malt.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAY 22, 2010 Lovely aroma, that is very sharp and flowery, very fresh and a bit fruity, lots of hops. Has a lovely colour, and a light head. Great taste with lots of hops, a hint of caramel. The aftertaste reveals the bitterness of the hops. A really great beer for the hop lover.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
500ml bottle.
Pours a hazy, medium orange, thin white head.
Quite hoppy aromas, the focus is however rather malt-oriented for an IPA. Caramel, fudge, citrus, spices, spruce, pineapple.
Off-dry, medium body, medium to high bitterness, balanced CO2.
Fruity, malty, and hoppy taste, caramel, grapefruit, chocolate, yeast.
I think this lacks a bit in the fruity hoppiness, and in the body, to really give it that IPA punch. A highly drinkable session ale, with a few unclean, phenolic notes to it. Bad batch? (2011-04-19)
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Amber coloured, with a thick off white head. Hoppy nose with some nutty hints. Grapefrui´t and citrus in flavour with some sweetness. Good bitterness. Some notes of pine.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Now this is getting close to a ligher double IPA with a rather thick and sticky body, lots of caramel and a big load of hops. The hop aromas give it a very fresh feel, while at the same time, the heavy malts is bordering to cloying, and the mix is, well, not perfected. Still a very nice (D)IPA though.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Red/brown, creamy light beige head. Hoppy aroma with several fruits and malt. Refreshing taste of fruits, the centennial really shows here. Somewhat abrupt finish but still a good ipa
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Deep cloudy brown redish colour. Fruity hoppy aroma, coffee. Taste is nice hoppy bitter and with citrus fruits, but what hits me is how much coffee it tastes. A bit odd for the style. Confusing. Tasty though.

Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse 68, Stockholm. Ooohh yeah! That really fixed my hop-craving for a while. Thanx Dugge.
