Overheard: "Where’s the citrus come from?" "Heaven."

Draught @ Pikkulintu. Rated on 29.07.2010
Aroma is hoppy with gooseberry bush, some resin and fruits. Flavour has resin, some sweetish malt, nettles, gooseberry bush and some fruits. Not my kind of IPA.

Bottle from Cunningham - thanks! Pours clear amber with an off-white head. Lightly hoppy aroma with caramel, tropical fruits, citrus and malt. Sweet and fruity with a distinct caramel flavour and a bitter and citrussy finish. Pleasant IPA, but quite ordinary. (2012-12-25)

330 ml bottle. Aroma of butterscotch, tropical fruit (ananas, mango) hay and a hint of cat piss. Tastes malty and fresh with lots of butterscotch. Bitterness is raw with little after taste.

Flaska. Bärnstensfärgad öl med vitt fluffigt skum. Där är en hel serenad av tropiska frukter i aromen, samt en viss blommighet. Smaken är nästintill perfekt - tung som en säck potatis, men ändå rund och mjuk som den skönaste dunkudden. Beskan slår till med en gång, men där finns också en sötma som kryper på och gör denna IPA till något helt fantastiskt god. En öl väl värd att ta med till en öde ö; det hade gjort tiden där behaglig.

2012-11-16. Crisp dark amber body with a small beige head. Pleasant mild aroma, nice hops. Flavour is similar, nice fruity hops, biscuity malt notes. 7+ Average palate. Not super complex but pleasantly hoppy, enjoyable. Bottle shared by JoeMcPhee

Bottle from Beers of Europe. 330ml. Best before September, unfortunately, so not too fresh. Deep, golden colour. Small, off-white head. Med carbonation. Aroma - Very sweet, sugary, caramel malt, almost toffeeish or molasses even. Fruity hops (sweet peaches, citrus and some tropical). Fruit aromas are kind of dulled and mixed together, probably because of the age. There’s also something lagery about the aroma, and a faint, musty yeast. Taste - Lightly sweet. As to be expected from aroma; caramellish malt, some fruity hops, but pretty faded - not much flavour left :( Just a brief, glimpse of some sweet, floral fruit flavours, then some fairly strongly bitter, citrus (white grapefruit) notes. Also, some spicy hop flavours present throughout. Mid bitter finish. Mid-light body. Not bad, but it’s obviously passed its prime; dulled and muted flavours and aromas. Can tell this would be a nice beer when fresh.

Bottle 33cl. Clear peachy color. Not too carbonated. Aroma of hops and sweet berries, raspberries. Flowers, mild. Taste of hops and quite butterish. Nice ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pale golden pour. The aroma is bright and citrusy with a bit of light fruit and some melon. Juicy and a little but fruity. Soft and zesty with a bit of lingering citrus. Biscuity malt. Nicely fruity - juicy fruit and citrus. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
