Pours light orange with off-white head. Nice citrusy herbal aroma with a pale malt backbone. Flavor is hoppy and resinous, with lots of citrus. Lots of bitterness. Nice semi-sweet maltiness balances it out. Pretty good stuff.

Pours orange with small head. Aroma is big on hops with some citrus & a tad of fruit. Flavor has some pine, citrus, but overall the bitter takes over & gets balanced by the hops. Not as fresh as I thought it was gonna be.

22oz bomber served in a shaker pint. Poured a bright gold with a thin white head. Big aroma of piney and citrusy hops. Good hop bite, but the hop flavor was a bit vegetal. Good malt base with some sweetness. Dry hoppy finish. Bottle conditioned. Decent IPA, but that’s not saying much these days.

Poured a cloudy orange color with a thick white rocky head. Aroma was "green" with a beautiful citrus hop kick. Flavor was full and bright, that green flavor lingers and the hop juiciness is beautiful with a really nice malt balance. This was a fantastic beer.

Golden with a big and firm white head. Juicy hop aroma of citrus, pine and flowers, with a little alcohol showing. Aggressive hop flavour and bitterness, with a nice touch of crisp and bsicuit-y malt. Lasting pine hop aftertaste and a lovely hop burn in the throat.

65cl bottle @ Olbutikken, CPH. Thanks to Bluntaholick. Pours a cloudy orange with a full egg white head and lacings. Loads of dry and bitter hops. Mostly exotic but also lots of grassy bitter hops. Medium bodied. Crisp and dry. Nice

Nice hoppy aroma.....grapefruit, pine, mandarin orange along with a subtle malt presence. Flavor is smooth with pine and grapefruit, followed by some malt and then a moderately bitter finish. Not as fresh as I had hoped (owing to it being several months old) but very good nonetheless.
