Bottle 22fl.oz..

Clear medium to dark orange color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, moderate to heavy hoppy, grapefruit, orange - citrus. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration, acrid bitter, overriped citrus - orange bitter and sweet. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20100803]

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a light tan head. The aroma is sweet maty with notes of grass and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet malty and again dominated by notes of grass and grapefruit.

(Bottle 65 cl) Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head leaving some lacework. Fat aroma of citrusy aroma hops. Quite full-bodied with loads of caramel and again this overpowering yet pleasant citrusy hoppiness that also leaves a very solid dose of bitterness. 150807

65 cL bottle. Pourd hazy orange with a slight hazy note and an off-white head. Slight raisin and dry aroma. Thick flavourfull and fruity to floral hoppy. Nice floral finish.

Bottled@The 1st Vaasa CS/ES beer session (Thanks JS). Deep amber colour, small but tight slightly off-white head. Aroma is fruity and floral hops along with some wood, nectar and mild notes of honey as well. Flavour again is rather strong sweet malts, some nectar, tropical fruits as well as someslight grassyness in the finish. A rather wellbalanced and drinkable DIPA.

Draught at Rogue, San Francisco. Clear amber, minimal head.Powerful citric graperuit aroma. Sweet with a fair amount of cookie malt supporting the citric hops. Quite slim and drinkable with long bitter finish. An enjoyable IIPA!

Bottle. Hazy amber coloured with a white head. Aroma of hops and pine needles with notes of caarmel. Flavour of fruits (especially peaches), hops and pine needles.

Bottle, 8%. Nicely grassy aroma. Hazy dark golden colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour is nicely caramelly and grassy. Not overly flavourful, but nice and well-balanced.

Golden color; creamy head. Very nice hop aroma, extremely strong resins. Good body strength, good and strong malt flavor without being thick, excellent hopping, resiny and a bit citrusy; and of course the final is very strong and long, not only biter and resiny but also sweet. Monodimensional, but in the direction that I like.

Aroma: same great sweet grapefruit aroma but a bit subdued,
Flavor: flavor has lots of sweet crystal malt balanced by a bitter grapefruit rind character, lots of fruityness beside the grapefruit showing up including tangerine, bitterness is a bit subdued allow the malt and hops stay in control,
Overall: this keg and the one at Trapeeze last month are a bit more subdued than what I had last year at Brick Store, new batch or old kegs?, overall I think it works better even though a bit disapointing at first,

Aroma: huge sweet crystal and pine aroma with the fruity tangerine and mango showing up later,
Flavor: sweet crystal malt flavor with huge pine character, alcohol heats it up and adds a peppery character, sweet grapefruit comes in a second wave,
Overall: the bottle restores the lackluster performance that comes and goes with the kegs,
