COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask: Regular. Also available bottled.
A citrus dominated India Pale Ale, its immediate impression is soft and smooth yet builds to a crescendo of massive hoppiness accentuated by honey. An enduring, bitter finish.

elosop (67) - SWEDEN - MAY 10, 2013
Gyllenfärgad med bra skumkrona. Citrusdominerande doft och blomster & ananas i smaken. Lång, bitter eftersmak. Mkt god för en IPA.

Yorker (585) - Århus, DENMARK - MAY 5, 2013
50 cl bottle @ home. Pours clear golden with a white head that leaves a little lacing. Aroma is citrus and hops. Flavour is citrus and malt – with a slightly bitter finish.

hopbomber (98) - Manchester, Greater Manchester, ENGLAND - MAY 5, 2013
As far as IPA’s go this is a tad bland, the hops do not shine through, it is mildly fruity with a lager mouthfeel. Many better examples on the market at a similar price.

mzaar (884) - Varberg, SWEDEN - MAY 4, 2013
Dimmig guldfärgad med långvarigt vitt skum. Citron är dominant, men också bär den spår i doften av persika, apelsin och blommighet. Citrus, rosvatten, honung och örter i smaken. Medelbeska.

7stern (161) - Bromma, SWEDEN - MAY 3, 2013
Pale golden, clear, disappearing head. Citrus and flower aroma. Pineapple in the taste, balanced bitterness.

brugmanneke (222) - GERMANY - MAY 2, 2013
(50 cl bottle) Yellow-golden colour, slightly hazy, white head. Aroma has lots of lemon peel, citrus, especially on the nose, and some more floral and grassy notes in the mouth. First impression of taste is quite bitter at first, then bitterness becomes a little less strong in the middle. Medium, endives-like bitterness in the dry finish. Light body, due to subtle maltiness, soft carbonation. Very good!

bb (5888) - Alamo, California, USA - MAY 2, 2013
Bottle. LOight amber beer with a cream head. Grapefruit and pine aorma with woodsiness. Citrus and woodsiness linger. Medium bodied. Decent bitterness. Citrus and woodsiness linger with earthiness.

solros (26) - stockholm, SWEDEN - APR 26, 2013
Smells like liquid soap, tangy and fresh. A good IPA! Not that I’m IPA fan but it is drinkable.

Hungarian_G (80) - - APR 26, 2013
Golden pour with off-white head. Big nose of grapefruit and citrus hops, followed by complex but well balanced taste of citrus and floral hops and some doughy yeast. Light roasted malts come into play in the back. Not your typical American-style "modern" IPA, but a very good beer. Well balanced, smooth and complex, but highly sessionable.

Simply superb and wonderful citrus flavoured ale. Good body and taste right through to end of the glass.
