There's at least one in every pack and this is our very own agent of chaos. Created from a complex layer of malts and blended hops, this well balanced IPA delivers satisfaction every time. Golden in the glass, fruity on the nose with hints of cedar. Joker IPA is Bitter/Sweet, full of flavour and is sure to put a smile on your face.

500ml bottle. Light amber colour and moderate head. Smells more like a pale ale, chalky with a hint of raisin and lemon. It has a lemony start, a somewhat herbal phase, and then more lemon. I like it (a refreshing beer for summer) but it does not really seem like an American IPA.

Drank at nearcroom temperature so unfaircto judge but it is flavorful and pleasant enough at that temp level that it mght be more of a winner when colder. English IPA but advertised as "wickedly hoppy." And moderately so.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger, as Joker IPA, green label. ABV is 5%. Golden colour, big white head. Nice aroma of fruity hops, citrussy and grassy notes, hints of mild spices and herbs. The flavour is fruity with an initial sweetness and noticeable hops throughout, moderate bitterness in the finish and aftertaste. Not quite what Americans would think of as an IPA, but a fairly well hopped premium bitter / golden ale all the same. Nice one. Would buy again.

Pours a slightly cloudy, deep golden amber coloration with a medium, fluffy head and visible carbonation. Smells of biscuity, slightly caramelly malt and citrus hops, with notes of tangerine and lime peel, as well as just a hint of pine. Taste is good balance of sweet'ish biscuity, slightly grainy and caramelly malt and floral, citrus hops, with notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lime peel and just a hint of pine and earthy spice coming through as well. Finishes with a light/medium bitterness and some grapefruit, lime peel and pine lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and medium/strong carbonation.
This is a pretty decent English IPA with a good overall malt/hop balance, although a tad too sweet, floral and not quite bitter enough for my personal taste. It's got some nice citrus notes going for it, as well as hints of pine and spice. Feels a little overcarbonated to me though.
