Pours a crystal clear golden color with white head continuously being fed by the carbonation bubbles migrating from the bottom. Mild grapefruit bouquet. Very soft, cottony mouthfeel. Competing pine and grapefruit flavors. Finishes with a lingering grapefruit citric bitterness. But the finish is clean. Solid IPA.

Draught at Man in The Moon, Stockholm. Hazy pale amber, small head. Rich aroma of salted grapefruit. Dryish with medium body and rounded nmouthfeel. Very bitter with plenty of pink grapefruit. Elegant, despite the hop overload.

Tap @ brewpub in OB Jan ’11. Clear orange-gold pour with a short white head leaving minimal lace. Pine hop nose. Medium body and moderate, fine carbonation with a pleasant mouth feel and a touch of oil at the finish. Toast, pine, grapefruit and biscuit. Finish is long, bitter and toasty with some booziness creeping in. A bit too bitter and not fragrant enough. Lower ABV and less EtOH would help.

28/12/2012 Brasserie 4:20 (tap). Bevuta al Pizza Port Tap Takeover. Dorata, viva, limpidissima, schiuma abbondante e persistente. Naso magnifico, un bouquet di frutta, agrumato con note di resina, erbacee e pinose. In bocca è equilibratissima, malto, pane e luppolo in abbondanza, con un finale secco ma non troppo e pulitissimo. Corpo medio, carbonazione corretta. Freschissima, tra le migliori IPA mai bevute!

Clear light amber color with lasting ivory head. Nice floral, dank spicy hop aromas. Big spicy bitter hop flavors with a dusty pale malt base--good

Clear golden color/ white head. Fresh tropical fruit, floral, pine hoppy aromas. Medium body. A weak pale malt base doesn’t match up well with the heavy bitter grapefruit rind, pine hoppiness--needs more malt--
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at Craft Islington - 29/11/12.
Clear pale golden with a thin white head that retains fairly well.
Nose is caramel malts, barley, light hops, touch of pine and tropical fruits.
Taste follows, malt heavy, toffee, slightly earthy flavours.
Medium bodied with soft carbonation, some bitterness in the finish.
Ok, solid enough but nothing too exciting.
