Bottled. A hazy dark golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is very spicy and fruity - peaches and more. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and fruit, leading to a bitter finish. The body is thin. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is light spiced and vague chemical. Sweet and floral flavoured. Light caramel malty. Fruity and dry spiced flavoured finish.

Draught@One Pint. Hazy yellowish golden colour with mediumsized creamy head, that lasts for quite a while. Some lacing. Aroma is fruity and flowery hops also with some grassy and yeasty notes. Flavour is caramel malts along with fruity, flowery and grassy notes. Bigtime hopbomb, which hides the alcohol very well.

Draught at One Pint Pub, Helsinki (as Malmgård Alpo’s IPA). Hazy pale amber, small head. Fruity, slightly grapefruity nose. Mid sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Very fruity with really bitter finish. More fruity and hard than hop aromatic.

Draught@One Pint Pub. Orange-amber color, small white head. Flowery hoppy aroma. Fruity hoppy, fermented raisins flavor .. interesting. Raisins are present also in the aftertaste. Otherwise sweety hoppy. Nice fruity IPA. Totally different than earlier Stadin’s version.

Bottled. Golden coloured. Unclear. Light beige head. Sweetness, fruits and light herbs in the aroma. Flavour of herbs, flowers and light pine. Medium bodied. Light dry. Fruity light bitter end.

UPDATED: JAN 9, 2011 Draught (One Pint, Helsinki) Pale hazy yellow, tiny head. Clean fresh hop aroma - sweet fruity hops, but also peppery too, or maybe yeasty. Good light malt component both to the aroma and to the taste. Smooth well-balanced clear light malt, but with a serious and long-lasting hoppy bitterness. A model hoppy IPA. (Revisted scores in 2011, in order to bring them in line with my more recent scoring standards.)

Draft at One Pint. Hazy golden color, thick white head, great lacing. Aroma of bitter lemon. Taste is decently bitter with pine > citrus > grass. Nice.
