Great beer. Mycket beska i kombination med rätt så mycket kolsyra och den fruktiga smaken... mykt bra. Tyckte allt gifte sig i en underbar harmoni.

UPDATED: MAY 10, 2011 Bottle. Cloudy deep brownish amber with a small rocky yellowed head that leaves some lacings. Huge buttery fudge/caramel nose that overpowers everything else that might be in there. Doesnt smell like an ipa at all. Taste is bitter and only slightly sweet with pine, resin, orangepeel, grapefruit with a quite weak dry caramel backbone and butter. A bit watery in the middle. Medium body with soft mushy carbonathion. I know people have been disappointed with this one this time around and i first thought it still was ok and just weird. But now im starting to think something is wrong. Should it be this buttery?

Small white head. Deep amber body with light carbonation. Fruity floral resiny aroma with sugary caramelly notes. Very vivid and clear. Dry-sweetish spicy floral fruity taste with wooden notes. Mid-bodied. Astringent mouthfeel, otherwise soft. Dry wooden dusty dandelion aftertaste with fruity spicy burnt notes. Aftertaste lingers a long time. Very nice and drinkable, but a little too astringent. (0.33l bottle, Olympen, Oslo.)

Draft at Man in the Moon. Cloudy amber color. Nice pineapple aroma. Bitter citrus/grapefruit taste. Very nice.

Tap at Man in the Moon in Stockholm, Sweden. Poured a hazy deep orange with a thick, off-white, ice-cream float head. Big retention and lace. Aroma is sickly sweet cherries, old raspberry cheesecake, cheesy/old hops. Taste is sharp, sherry, bitter, medicinal, some sweet berries. Palate is bitter, sharp, dry, pretty full-bodied.

On 33cl bottle from Bunkerbeer. Pours a cloudy amber with no head. Early aroma of pleasant floral hops. Later aroma and the taste is quite different: Bitter and earthy/grassy with a chalky aftertaste. Medium body, slick texture and very flat.

Bottle at Lompa. This is good. Hazy golden color with thin white head. Aroma of dry fruits, a bit hoppy, with citrus. Sharp thin malty taste with some grapefruit and some caramel. Good body, goes well with food.

bottle from bunker beer. pours a clear orange, small bubbly head. very nice flowery and slightly bitterhoppy aroma. this thing is very hopped!. I also get some sweet malts and what i believe is yeast in the aroma. Aroma reminds me of southern tier beers. Flavor is flowery hoppy, mouldy, caramelly, Does not end as bitter as most other IPA’s of its kind. carbonation seems to be real low.

Bottle from SB Västerås, cons 2010-09-18, Göteborg AR: tropical fruits, floral north american hoppiness AP: ruff copper colured body, 1 cm strong stabile wee rocky white head F: low carbonation body style like and brittish bitter, flavors are more like overloaded as an american IPA, first not a full body then a great bitterness with a tropical fruity flavors that finish it of in a nice way

Tap @ Monk’s Porterhouse. Almost clear copper color, short head. Aroma of some hop. Bit bitter taste. Average IPA.
