Fine head, lasting. Cloudy yellow Golden. Fine light hoppy nose with notes of grapefruit, lemon and itchy. Medium body and length. Dryish taste with some sweet itchy and grapefruit.

Cloudy orange gold pour, two finger persistent off white head. Lots of citrus smell up front, with a bit of malt. Pine and big grapefruit tang, quite a long bitter finish with that pleasant but unpleasant grapefruit taste persisting.

Draft - Sweet grapefruit, lemon, lime, just citrus goodness without being sour. Hazy gold, rich head. Bright grapefruit, grassy a bit of resin and a dry finish. A bitterness throughout that isn’t overwhelming, and a lemony finish. Overall a great beer.

The beer in the glass is strong golden yellow and subtle cloudy, with flat fine head. It smells very hoppy and fruity, a lot of citrus and some resin. Starts very resinous and oily, with a lot of pinewood and fruity citrus notes as well as tropical fruits. The middle part is very hoppy, very fruity and bitter, with a lot of grapefruit and orange. Goes into a bitter hoppy finish with a lot of orange, grapefruit and some pine wood!

Bottle at Q-Brick. Nice fruity nose, tropical, orange colored and cloudy. Bitter flavor, citrus and tropical fruits. Thick, heavy body. Quite nice.

(33 cl bottle) Hazy, bright orange colour with a beautiful, mostly creamy yellow head. Intensely citrussy and fruity aroma: loads of lemon peel and some lychee/mango. Taste is bitter, yes, but thanks to the massive hoppy aroma and some sweetness from the malts, oats and wheat, it’s still quite pleasant. A tapestry of hoppy flavours on the palate, this beer stays with you long after the last drop is swallowed. I am really pleased!

Tap at Zly Casy. Big yellowish head, hazy orange-golden colour. Aroma citrus hops, floral, orange, grapes, hints of exotic fruits. Taste light heavy bitter, earthy, grassy, orange peel. Finish heavy long bitter grassy. Very good beer.

Absolutely wonderful! Which scent of fruit. Very odor, very taste of the fruit also. The aftertaste is left long and is really good. A truly wonderful beer. I am really happy that I got hold of this. However, I think this beer will not be a fall and winter brew. A summer beer this should be.

Hazy, light. Aromatic nose with floral tones and distinct grapefruit flavor. Hoppy body with lots of carbon dioxide. Brewed with kärlek perhaps, but the Ratebeer search engine can’t find this one. Pity.

In short: A refreshing, generously hopped, fruity golden IPA. Nice
How: Tap at City Pub, Göteborg Sweden
The look: Cloudy golden orange body topped by a small off-white head leaving lots of lacings on the glass
In long: Nose is fresh citrus fruits and ripe citrus fruits with apricots coming out strong. Body has a lot of crisp cereals but with a relatively low sweetness sensation, dried bread sensation. A solid backbone but the beer is mostly about the hops. Freshly squeezed orange juice, a lots of fresh citrus fruits, bitter grapfruits, orange flesh, tangy tangerines, juicy apricots, tropical fruits. Body is nourishing and the fruity hops flavors are very refreshing. Tasty refreshing juicy bitterness. Simple and effective, another solid beer from Mikkeller. The people at Mikkeller work too hard, putting out so many new beers every month, the marketing person responsible for the beer name was exhausted and passed-out fell face first on his keyboard, look at the result.
