austone (576), Turku; Pori, Finland Nov 15, 2008 Draught at BH, Pori. Clear amber, creamy pale head. Toffeeish, flowery hoppy aroma, little honey and nuttiness. Flavor is exotic fruity hops, passion fruit, toffee malts, lingering fruity bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied, low carbonation. Balanced and fruity IPA, maybe even too easy actually. rlgk (3239), Motala, Sweden Nov 1, 2008 (EBF 2008) Golden color, rich offwhite head. Fruity, hoppy aroma, pine apples, grapes, grass and some metal notes. Really hoppy grassy flavor, dry but also a bit fruity. asheft (1017), Marburg, Germany Oct 12, 2008 [on tap at EBF 2008]
Boiling hops aroma with some grapefruit, and a little pine and caramel. Quite citrusy. Clear bright orange with a lasting, lacy foam. Very floral hops flavour: pine and lemon. Some base malt that is week together with a vegetal, boiling hops character. Light to medium body with quite a bit of lasting bitterness and medium carbonation. mrdasilva (116), Helsinki, Finland Oct 8, 2008 <i>(Draught @ Pikkulintu Mansevesti 2008).</i> Nice deep copper color, tight off-white head. Very hoppy, aromatic, soft aroma. Absolutely brilliant and way bigger than it’s abv. Softly hoppy, malty, grassy flavor. Just the right amount of sweetness. A truly excellent IPA, almost in the Double IPA category. Papsoe (11030), Frederiksberg, Denmark Oct 8, 2008 (On tap) Clear amber golden with a small off-white head. Fresh and citrusy aroma hops in the nose. Medium body with sweet caramel, some maltiness and fruit. A solid but not overpowering hop bite in the finish. 120908
