Sample from tap at the brewery. Pours orange with a disappearing head. Aroma is sweet to fruity and citric. Flavour is clear fruity, with a spicy touch. Finish is malty on top of a mild bitterness. Very enjoyable.

Bottled@Monks Café Sveavägen, Stockholm. Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is bready, fruity, a bit wooden as well as slightly grassy as well. Flavour is fruits, wood, grass, mild caramel and quite thin. Quite mellow in many ways, but still very bittery dry in the finish.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear amber, small head. Evident grapefruit aroma. Mid-sweet with well rounded caramelly malt well ntergrated with grapefruity hops. ith seemless flavuor, edgeless mouthfeel and gently growing late bitterness it’s a delightful, very drinkable IPA!

Cask gravity at Gbbf 2011. Hazy russet colour with lasting bubbly off white head. Fruity choccy ipa. Its got a bit of a herby edge. Its ok on the bitterness but really quite herby hop. Uk hop version at 6.2%. Ok but just not quite my thing. Very herby.

Mild IPA of light copper colour and moderate hopping. As unexciting as my description.
