On tap at La Cerveteca in Barcelona. Pours a cloudy copper colored body with a finger-width, creamy and frothy, light tan head that dissipates slowly and leaves a soapy lacing. Aroma is a bit fruity with some citruses and a few passion fruit notes with a sweeter, bready caramel malt backing. Flavor is similar. Some orange citruses, a light passion fruit, and a few florals with a sweeter, bready, slightly toasted caramel malt backing. Finishes dry and moderately bitter with some grass, resins, and a slight sweetness. Lengthy aftertaste following a medium body and a soft, moderate carbonation. Overall, a pretty solid IPA. Fairly fruity and a bit sweet, but balanced nicely. I like the slight toast note on the flavor. Good beer.

Draught at Akkurat. Hazy amber colour with a full off-white head. Strong citrus aroma with some hops and malt. Flavour is dominated by citrus with some fruitiness and malt. Refreshing.

On tap @ La Tape. Orangish colour with a creamy and off-white head with good duration. Aroma has floral and citrus hops. Flavor is slightly resins, bittery with a medium bitterness and with a good duration; also notes of orange peel and citrus are present. Bittery aftertaste with a decent duration and medium astringency.

1L squealer. Murky orange brown in semi dark, nice foamy head. Smells citrus fruit- sweeter end of lemon, some floral and malty sniffs. Tastes kind of mild, but balanced well with citrus hops, malts, nice bitter finish.

On tap at Daglighallen. Very nice orange slighly hazy colour and sweet citrusy smell. Very good single hopped brew!

Smells of cloves and citrus fruits. Sour hoppy taste with hints of yogurt (?) and broccoli. Dark IPA-coloured, beautiful off-white foam. Discrete aftertaste.

On draft at Churchkey in D.C. for the Nøgne Ø event. Thanks to Kjetil Jikiun. Review from notes. The beer is orange and a tad hazy with a huge, fluffy, white head that leaves a generous amount of lacing on the glass. The aroma does indeed offer a healthy amount of Citra hops. Definitely a fresh keg. Other reviews I have read mention a lack of aroma and hop character. This one is definitely meant to be consumed fresh. The flavor is good, but does not match the quality of the aroma. Hop forward, with some tasty citrus notes. A subtle malt body adds depth and balance. Pretty smooth on the palate, with some nice, lingering notes of fresh hops. A solid beer. I am grateful to have sampled this fresh. Skål! Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 06-06-2012

Much more British than I expected of the name. Very malty, slightly toasty body with some full but soft citrus, grass and flower notes. Easy, sweet finish. Good clean fun, but rather forgettable.

On tap at Apex, pours a cloudy, murky orange with a large, nitro-like off-white head. Aroma of floral hops and lots of biscuit. Flavour is not robustly hoppy, though with loads of floral notes, biscuity and crackery malt, and quite a restrained bitterness presence. Tastes more like a hoppy pale ale. Solid flavours and very refreshing. Good (I)PA.

Draught at Milenka, Helsinki. Poured clear yelloworange in color with a frothy white head. Loads of citrus, lemon and some sweet malts in aroma. Flavor is quite crisp citrus flavor with a nice malty body and a nice hoppy aftertaste as well. Tasty brew.
