nice hoppy aroma, golden, clear, white foam, light sweetness, lightly bitter, medium body, creamy, soft carbonation, nice soft finish.

On Tap at The Tap Room. Extra points for being in the prettiest setting.....St. John US Virgin Islands! For me, this was the clear winner of their brews. Light orange with a thick foamy head. Citrus hoppy aroma with a really fresh hop profile, more towards an APA but well balanced with enough hops to keep it interesting.

Very well brewed. Too bitter perhaps but nice to drink, not to swallow it at once. Ncie to enjoy with good food.

Bottle from systembolaget courtesy Saxo. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Dark yellow colour. Moderate malty and heavy hoppy aroma. Nice flowery and perfumed notes. Moderate bitter nice flavor. Long moderate bitter finish. Creamy palate. Well balanced and nice IPA.

(Bottle, 0.355 l, at Hilpeä Hauki, 20120518) The beer poured copper coloured and clear. Its head was medium sized, dense and white. Aroma had citicness, pine and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were hops, fruitiness, orange, pineapple, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, fruity and bitter. Nice IPA with long lasting fruity flavour.

Shared bottle at RBNAG. Lovely IPA nose. Light body, herbal bitterness. Long bitter finish. New countries at rb usually menas boring pale lagers, but this was a fine one.

Clear amber/orange body that produces an average-sized white head. Fragrant floral citrus hop aroma. Moderately bitter flavor. Not a bad IPA, and certainly a find if you happen to be in Saint John’s!

Bottle shared by Liz. Pours amber with a whiteish head. Very fruity aroma. Med body. Flavor is fairly tropical fruit, and somewhat floral. Finishes nicely hoppy and pretty dry. Good drink with lots of hop that isn’t harsh.

Shared bottle at RBNAG 2011. ABV 6.2%. Deep amber colour, moderate head. Nice aroma of American hops, also some crystal malts. Decent hoppy flavour, fairly dry, with resinous notes, hints of tropical fruits. Good stuff, easy drinking.
