Bottle. Pours clear amber with airy off-white head. Clear, hoppy aroma witht notes of citrus. Bitter, hoppy flavour with touches of citrus, caramel and grass. Dryish aftertaste. Creamy mouthfeel. A nice one.

On tap at The Bishop Arms Folkungagatan, pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of vegetal notes, some herbal hops, and a thin malt backbone -- doesn’t smell so invigorating. Flavour is very dry more elegant than the nose suggests, with herbal hops, some resin and pine, and dry biscuity malts. A little too vegetal for me, but still refreshing and a solid IPA. Decent stuff.

Bottle, traded with Cunningham. Balanced IPA. Too much balanced in fact, tame and lame. Toasted malt is felt on the same level of intensity as the floral and citrusy, one-dimensional hops. The bitterness is strong in this one, but so are the alcohol notes. No depth or complexity. Drinkable but disappointing.

Flaska från Systembolaget. Kopparfärgad vätska med gräddvitt skum. Doft av malt och graoe samt liten ton av citrus. Smarrig smak av beska och sötma.

Bottled 330ml. -Pale amber coloured, small off-white head, pleasant aromatic piney grapefruity nose. Moderate malty, grapefruity hoppy and mild caramel taste with hint of alcohol in rather bitter finish. Quite enjoyable beer.

Not at much scent as I thought but a little more flavor. Perfectly okay to drink but not much more. A small part is after the flavor of this beer. No beer I would recomend.

Bottle many thanks to Cunningham. Copper golden color with medium off-white head. Sweet malt, pines, grapefruits, grapefruit zest in aroma. Fruity, hoppy taste with pines, grapefruit, malty body. Delicous.

Draught at Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Colour is clear orange with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Fruits, citrus, caramel and malts.

330ml bottle. Clear orange dark amber colour, foamy white head that diminishes and floral citrusy aroma with grassy & grapefruit notes. Flavor is fruity malt caramel with citrus, grapefruit & pine, and a lingering dry bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Quite drinkable.

Draught @ Gastropub Nordic, Tampere.
Pours clear copper color with a small head. Aroma of hops, fruits, some pine and caramel. Flavour of hops, fruits, caramel, malts and faint vegetable notes. Decent.
