Bottle at home. Pours a hazy dark orange colour with a creamy beige medium head. Fruity and hoppy aroma of lots of grapefruits, resin and some spices, lemon and ammonia. The flavour is more fruity with sweet and sour berries. In addition there’s some caramel, wet cardboard, leather and almost roasted tones in the end. Pretty nice. Soft and slick mouth feel, and has a lingering medium bitterness. A bit faint aroma but is a flavourful and interesting IPA.

Fra flaske på Humle i Annen mars-13: IBU 47. Sent på kvelden, og smaksløkene trenger å bli sendt på verksted. Denne virket i sammenhengen nøytral og intetsigende, men balansert. Ovesen fikk fornemmelser av golden ale (ingen hedersbetegnelse fra hans side).
