3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 mile (2159) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUN 10, 2012
Bottle. Light golden, hazy, average to large and mostly diminishing head. Moderate, malty and sweetish aroma, tropical fruitiness and faint caramel, lots of grapefruit and piney hoppyness. Body is medium, malty and dryish flavor, light tropical fruitiness with quite a lot of grapefruit and piney hoppyness. Finish is average to long, malty and dry, faint fruitiness, lots of sharp piney hoppyness. Huge amounts of hoppyness - in the finish bitterness gets bit sharp. Anyway, well hopped IPA.
