This was a very nice surprise with the alcohol well hidden. It really seems like a session beer until you have had a pint. Worth a try if it is available in your area.

Had the nitro version of this at the Blackthorn Pub...thick and beautiful creamy and very long-lasting head covered a viscous liquid with nice grassy, pine, and grapefruit. Nice change of pace from the CO2 versions of other IPAs.

Oh, the hoppines is strong with this one! Wonderful on the nose, a forrest of citrus fruitiness. At first the alcohol strikes a little higher than expected before it balances out.

Bottled: Pours hazy amber with a thick head. Aroma is cookie dough, orange peels, pine apple and fresh wood. Flavour is really bitter and has notes of wood, pine needles, resin and loads of hops. A good (D)IPA.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 crowderm (373) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAY 30, 2013
Aroma of peach, apricot, resin and pine. Flavor is similar, with some citrus bitterness becoming more apparent. The malt sweetness doesn’t quite balance out the aggressive hop character of the beer, but still very good.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 kryon (750) - SWEDEN - MAY 24, 2013
Pours hazy golden with low white head
Aromas of resin, caramel malts, tropical fruits, grass
Taste is loaded with resin and caramel maltyness. Quite nicely hopped.
Wee bit unbalanced. Too much body and bitterness that isnt really compatible with the hoppyness

Pours into snifter as golden orange and hazy, head is one-finger thick and leaves strong lacing. Aroma has strong pine and citrus notes, it feels like brewer has put whole coniferous forest with few grapefuit trees in the beer. Some grassy and herby notes are also found. Taste has a lot of coniferous-forest-like notes, also grapefruit is present. Some caramel is behind as a support. Palate is very hoppy, but smooth. A little sweetnes bring great touch to this beer. All in all, great DIPA with a lot of piny and grapefruity notes.
