Smell is grapefruit and hint of pine. Look appealing with a dark golden colour and a pretty thick head. Taste is balanced with a sweetness that is replaced with the grapefruit bitterness in the finish. Good, mild carbonation makes this a highly drinkable ipa. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Light golden color. Medium white head. Aroma of candysugar and wheat, with some grassy notes. Medium body. Grassy hoppy taste, with some sweet malty hints in there. Not outstanding in any way, but def drinkable.

olio (4094) - Tampere, FINLAND - APR 6, 2013
50 cl bottle @ Pub Kultainen Apina, Tampere.
Originally rated on 20101107.
Pours copper color with a large head. Very appealing aroma, lots of intense floral hops, exotic fruits, some caramel malts, goose berry bush and grass . Flavor of resin, hops, exotic fruits, caramel and hay. If only the flavor had matched the excellent aroma. Very good still.

jd543 (125) - SCOTLAND - MAR 25, 2013
Big foamy head, which dissipated quite quickly. Murky brown colour. Lots of pine on the nose. Fizzy on the tongue, with plenty of pine and bitterness. An interesting beer with lots of challenging scents and flavours going on, but I didn’t love it. This doesn’t affect me so much, but my girlfriend pointed out that the label is prejudiced against left-handed people.

500ml bottle. Pours a golden cloudy colour. This is a really nice IPA. It is 6.5% though it doesnt taste like it should be anywhere near that strong. Nice hoppy flavour.
