Commercial Description:
Torpedo is an assertive American IPA deep reddish-gold in color, with a smooth and bready malt presence and over-the-top hop aromas. The beer has a solid bitterness and a massive hop flavor, yet remains easy drinking with a pleasant dry finish.

Bottled at Sorbon, Bromma, Stockholm. Clear amber, rocky head. Concentrated hoppy juicy sweaty nose. Full bodied with soft, dense mouthfeel. The malt sweetness frowns in an ocean of orangey salty hops. Lovely seemless flaour where everything seem perfctly intergrated and harmonious. Finishes with massive bitterness that still never feels the slightest assaulting. A top IPA.
