33 cl bottle from Vinmonopolet Vika. Pours hazy orange with a medium, offwhite/yellowish head. Hoppy fruity aroma of citrusfruits and some sweet fruits. Medium body, heavy bitterness, medium carbonation.

Bottle from Vinmonopolet Storo enjoyed at home
Golden, white head. Smells of mango, pineapple, orange zests, some tendensies of cat pee. There is also some disturbing in the back, it’s something that is burnt or sulfidic, it’s there and i don’t like the specific aroma but it’s very hidden in the back. May be a concern if the bottle isn’t quite fresh and the hops faded. Moderate sweet, some malts and fruityness, quite dry mouthfeel. Heavy bitter finish with alot of resins. A tropical bomb, very nice aroma hops; nice body, nice finish. A very nice IPA from Lervig to accompany their splendid Rye IPA. Hope that that aroma flaw is a mistake and that it’s gone the next time i buy a bottle

Bottle (33cl) from Vinmonopolet (Storo), Oslo. Slightly hazy golden colour. Half-inch offwhite head, good retention - leaves a thick bubbly film with quite a bit of lacing. Intensely hoppy aroma with grapefruit, sweat, citrus, resin. Medium body, soft carbonation, mouth-covering bitter sensation. Very bitter taste, nicely balanced initially by a sweetness that fades away, leaving an overly papery-dry, herbal finish.
