3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
651 ml. bottle. Pours a thick, well retained, ivory head, with extensive sea foam lacing, over a slightly hazy, light amber (SRM 8) body.....nose is pine, resin, grapefruit, toffee/caramel.....taste is pine, pineapple, grapefruit peel, toffee/caramel, sweet throughout, ending with a lingering bitterness.....mouth feel medium to heavy, sticky, alcohol warmth present, carbonation low. This is, as advertized, a hop bomb with all the lovely nuances of a large complex hop back bone. It is well balanced by the malts and as such is quite a nice creation. BJCP 9/3/16/4/7

2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Flaska. Bärnstensfärgad, lätt dimmig, med gulvitt skum. Doftar oerhört inbjudande av gröna äpplen, rabarber, apelsinmarmelad, fruktkaka och rågbröd. Smakerna är det egentligen inget fel på, många av dofterna återkommer här, men alkoholen går igenom alldeles för skarpt. Den tar så sakteliga över och till slut blir det nästintill odrickbart. Synd, för det började ju så bra.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm) Amber colour with frothy, off-white head, leaving traces of lacing. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus peel, grapefruit, resin and hints of pine needles. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, treacle-toffee, citrus peel, resin and a generous resinous/citric bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Quite harsh bitterness, making it not really perfectly balanced. But quite an impressive hop character. Very nice.

Tap @ Papago. Pours a bit hazy, golden orange appearance with an off white head. Spicy, a bit goopy, sweet malty, grapefruity aroma. Bitter, syrupy hoppy, fruity, sweet malty flavor. A bit extreme for my taste.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A relatively basic IPA. Pours a nice orange color with a white head. Smells of hops and weed. Taste is balanced, some honey up front and a lot of hops to finish. Had on tap at the brewery.
