Perfect everyday drinker.
Taste similar to the original
But the ABV means you can make shirt work of these

Copenhagen 14/11 2020. 35,5 cl can from Meny, Østerfælled Torv, Kbh. Ø. Dark purple can with big yellow splotch with the name of beer and brewery.
Pours unclear pale yellow with a mid-sized white head. Stable. Settles as thin layer of foam just covering the surface of the beer. No lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a light sweet fruitiness mingling with stronger citric notes. Sweet blood orange and peach. Citrus and lime.
Fairly strong carbonation. Slightly thick, lively, tingling texture.
Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by slightly stronger, citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a sweet undercurrent. Lingers shortly. Semi-dry finish.
Pretty intense for a Session IPA yet still light and refreshing.

Pint ar Flying Pie.. Orange golden pour, small creamy head. Grainy, bready aroma. Taste brings a kiss of hops and citrus, and it gets dry at the finish. It went down fast.

Can. Misty straw. Thick frothy head which subsides yet remains.
Hoppy aroma. Pine, grass and mild citrus.
Fruity taste. Resin adds bitterness.
Light to medium body and carbonation.
Understated.

CAN
Puffy snow white head over hazy lemon yellow; canary melon + guava nose; speck of wheat, then papaya, pear, a weedy edge, lemon granata, and cantaloupe; spritzy + clean.
Citra, Magnum, Simcoe, Comet, Mosaic, El Dorado (if it's the same as regular strength HLT)

There's a lot going on here: malt base is unobtrusive, the hops go for orchard fruit over tropical but the extensive hop bill provides layers, and the body falls neatly between NEIPA soft + sessionably crisp. Reminds me very much of Whiplash Rollover, though at a higher ABV.
The website says it's taproom only + the can has multilingual labeling - is this an export only canning? If so, I'm glad to be away if it gets me this little gem.
Ideal fruity sessioner.

Canned in a little 330ml crafty craft can
Pours a slightly hazy golden body with pretty decent white head
Aroma is battery acid grapefruit lemonade
You got that in the flavour with a little soap

355ml can from Tesco supermarket (£1.80):
Light, slightly hazy yellow with a bubbly, 1cm head that settles as a very patchy surface lacing. It's fresh & floral smelling with citrus & strong pine hops without anything dominating. It was fresh tasting, quite sharp & tangy with some lemon, citrus & faint pine hops coming through. The body is quite light & juicy with good carbonation & a sharp, semi-dry finish but overall it could have been stronger & I'd like to try the original 6.7% version.
