22 ounce from Binny’s in Chicago. Malty and sweet. Caramel. Little thin in the body. But hops round out a Double IPA-ish taste.

Botella de 500ml. Vaso Tumbler. Saboreada en may´12. Color ambar profundo y apariencia cristalina. Espuma marfileña y cremosa. Capa persistente y copos en las paredes.En nariz aromas de flores, levadura y malteado ligero. Agradables maltas al primer sorbo seguida por un seco amargor de lúpulo. Cuerpo y carbonatación medios. Leve astringencia y notas de membrillo en el final. Retrogusto resinoso. Refrescante y de buena asimilación. 500ml bottle. Tumbler glass. Enjoyed on may´12. Deep amber color, crystal clear appearance. Off-white, creamy froth. Lasting & spotty head. Flowers, yeast & mildy malts to the nose. Gentle maltiness at first sip followed by dry bitter hoppiness. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Some astringency & quince notes into the finish. Resiny aftertaste. Refreshing & nice drinkability.

Pour is deep amber with big beige head. Aroma is a pleasant pine hoppiness. Flavour is initially hints of apricot and some breadiness before the hops come in and do their business coating the palate with resinous hops. Finish is quite long and enjoyable. Top stuff!!

500ml bottle pours a pale amber orange color with a finger of creamy white head that retains well and leaves some soapy lacing on the glass. Aroma is pine and citrus with some light fruits and grains. Taste is bold pine and citrus hop bitterness up front balanced nicely with an underlying malty sweetness. Medium bodied with some good carbonation leaving a nice feeling on the tongue. A pleasing and bold india pale ale that is recommended for a tasting.

Bottle from Brewdog shop. Amber color, small white head. Taste: caramel, citrus, hops and herbs, nice bitter finish. Very enjoyable beer.

Pours a clear and bubbly orange. Nice lacing on the glass. Very sweet on the nose. Methinks some of the hop bite got lost in transport. But if you are in a non west coast hop mode this would really work. Really sticks to the palate without scraping it to death. Getting some orange taste at the very end.

500ml Bottle (from Brewdod.com):
Lots of bitterness upfront along with a sweet pine and strong hops smell. There is also a little vanilla and dark malts but the hops dominate along with a general bittersweet aroma.
Clear amber & a foamy, centimetre thick and foamy white head with good retention.
Hops and pine kick things off here, along with some piney bitterness and a good malt presence. There is a little citrus and some summer fruits along with a lingering bitterness.
Light in body and as mentioned before there is tonnes of hops in this one. The feel is a semi-smooth one with medium carbonation and a lingering bitter finish.

Very hoppy and quite like an IPA is a some nice pine hops and a few malts thrown in for good measure as well. The taste is surprisingly refreshing and nicer than I had imagined.

en botella.color dorado cobre.cristalina.aromas a malta, medio floral notas a lupulo.sabor parecido aunque no estaba en muy buenas condiciones, un largo viaje supongo,

En botella,color ambar muy bien filtrada,aromas a caramelo,maltas y lúpulo moderado.Muy facil de beber,espero algun dia probarla mas fresca q hoy.

Lite tunn kropp men med en bra balans. Smaken är fruktig och humlig men lite för försiktig för mig.

Bottle 50cl. A clear orange colour with a small, off-white head. An aroma of malt, caramel, toast, hops and citrus. The taste is medium sweet and light bitter. A medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation and a medium long duration.
