Nov 11, 2006 Dark amber color, ok head and carbonation for the style. Very good complex aroma with flowers, grapefruit, cinnamon and berries. Hoppy taste throuout, but not so one-dimensional as IPAs often turn out. Medium body and a long, lingering finish. One of my favorite IPAs. Far ahead of Nøgne Ø IPA.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottled from Vinmonopolet, Oslo. Cloudy brown coloured, small off-white head. Very fruity nose, some malts. Pleasantly bitter flavour, fruity notes remain. Very nice, not overly-hopped thirst-quenching IPA. Could drink this all evening. Good!

Sep 10, 2007 3rd LCRBM. Grapefruit and a hint of licorice in the aroma. Strong, oily hopbitter flavor. Loads of grapefruit. Long earthy and oily hopbitter aftertaste with blackcurrant. Raw, but very nice.

Oct 5, 2007 Delicous. After a disasterous start that included the bottle oozing onto my lap the beer really calmed down and was a true treat. Nose wasnt much to brag about, it actually reminded me of the smell from a glass of beer afte not finishing the whole thing and cleaning it up in the morning. But the flavor really took off with nice juicy hops alll over and a nice malt backbone that balanced this bad boy out. Dark caramel color on the pour with huge head, probably also from whatever made this bottle gush.
