Draught, thanks to rickgordon.Hazy orange, big white head. Honey, strawberry aroma. Taste bitter, quite special but not my favourite.

At home on bottle. Amber/red color with a beige head. Aroma: Grape, dry, soap, sweet. Flavor: Hoppy, pine, caramel, a bit of cherry, spicy, almost chili,

Bottle. 9 days past ‘best before’. Pours a hazy amber/brown with a big beige/brown head. Okay lacing. Overly sweet aroma with a tart/acidic note; like sour winegum. Okay as such, but a bit too much in the long run. Some hop notes appear as it warms. ‘Flavour is hops; a bit sweet andwith the same tartness/acidity as the aroma, but not as outspoken. Notes of bread as well. Tart and dry finish. Lingering hoppy notes, but they drown a bit in the sweet/sour thing. Bitter notes as it warms, A bit too much carbonation. Overall too tart and not nearly hoppy enough. 10-03-10.

Aciduous and nose-piercing aroma similar to glue and wild yeast. Texture is chalky and hoarse. Has a lack of aftertaste

From Salling, DK. Bottled, 140511. Amber with white head. Aroma of orange and citrus. Flavor with caramel and malt. Not well balanced.

Dracks på Stockholm Beer Festival 2010. Lagom-IPA – inget särskilt spännande.

500ml bottle, as fresh as we can get it in the States (best by July 2012). The pour yields a very lightly hazy, dark golden-amber colored body with an initially tall yet quickly fading head of beige froth. Sticky honeycomb lacing marks the glass. The nose is sweet and muddled, showing loads of clover honey, toasted marshmallow, caramel, and stale bread. It’s also alcoholic, suggesting of mead almost. Hops seem faded, taking on an orange marmalade character. There is some mild spice, along wit suggestions of pepper. Flavors are overly sweet for an IPA, far too honey driven, with stale bready tendencies. Cardboard isn’t far off base. Hops are old and musty. The palate is under carbonated, syrupy, and just kind of drab overall. This beer is a failure. Best by July 2012...yeah right.

3-4 ounce sample from a bottle at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Medicinal, metallic light hop aroma. Stale hops present. Not much else happening in the nose. A bit disappointing. Mildly hazy honey-colored body with a small off-white head present. Starts with some light citrus orange flavors before this becomes sweet, sugar, and mostly cloying. Minute bitterness late. Way too sweet and sugary. Not really hoppy. This is an IPA? A joke.

Bottle shared with esp0r early february. I really hope we got a bad bottle, infected or whatever. Cloudy grey color with copper head, aroma of teenager sweat accomplished by a taste of vinegar and rotten eggs. Will probably give it another try later and hope to have a better experience then

Bottle at Olympen. Copper hazy with a light white head. Smells of apples and alcohol. By now the look is already changing and i sense that this bottle has gone bad. Taste is of apples and vinegar and no finish to mention. Hope to rerate this another time. Sorry Dugges
