440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.7%. Hazy yellow colour, moderate white head. Aroma of peaches, papaya and guava. Pleasant flavour of various citrus fruits and tropical fruits, hints of sprucetips, low bitterness.

tons of ipa at their st andrews spot when we were in, like most of the list, which i am cool with, a fair few hazy ones too including this one, less good and a bit more generic and even bitter for the style than the best ones we had on this visit, but i appreciate the mix of hoppy stuff they had working, and this is fresh, sturdy, and enjoyable, some crispness to it compared to the others, less of a juice bomb, not crazy thick or hazy either, so its drinks a bit less filling, nice balance and grain flavor to this though, just a touch richer than others, almost more of a hybrid ipa type. it smells and tastes like citrus, day old grass clippings, yellow floral springiness, and and some honey richness before light weedy dankness and subtle late bitterness, good flow, a light candied richness, drier later, and one of the hazy ones where its not just all wheat and oats, like i taste barley malt in here, that isnt always the case anymore. a touch green, but tasty overall, fine mix of hops, and maybe would have been better on its own, but in the context of all the great ipa we had at this location, this one was not a standout, high bar though. well dry hopped, nice pop of late bitterness, tangerine and clover and pineapple as it warms, solid.

 

Too bitter for me.

 

From a brewdog advent calendar. Pours lemon. Taste of hops , malt, lemon , fruity. Smell of tropical fruit. Lovely.

Copenhagen 25/8 2024. 44 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. Blue can with a Maneki-neko waving while holdinga yellow sign og coin. Some Chinese signs thrown in in Silver for good measure.

Pours opaque hazy golden yellow with a small white head. A bit bubbly. Disappears after half a minute leaving only meagre remnants of foam behind. No lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet, slightly sugary odor mingling with tart, citric fruit. Sweet passion fruit and mango. Citrus and blood orange.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a rather strong sweetness followed by a slightly more moderate citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a sweet undertone. Lingers for a bit. Finish is semi-dry.

A sweetish pot of luck.

Hazy golden yellow color with a thick thin head.
Aroma with notes of stone fruit, citrus, mild pine, flowers and lychees.
Flavor wit notes of flowers, melon, lychees, pineapple and citrus. Dry aftertaste with a medium bitterness.
Medium body with appropriate carbonation. Alcohol is absent.
NEIPA with an original flavor which I was not expecting. Its notes vary from citrus to floral to white or stone fruits.

 

 

This brew, one of several from a mixed twelve pack, is a hazy golden-straw color. The head is off-white, thick, and rocky. The aroma has a fruity and floral quality. Fresh...under-ripe stone fruit, grass, a little citrus. The taste is balanced, maybe even a bit dry, with a firm bitterness. Medium in body and drinkable.

12oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It left sudsy lacing. It smelled of orange, grapefruit, caramel and some pine notes. Sweet fruity taste with caramel, and a piney bite.

Lemony and tropical with a slight creamy chewiness to the feel, presumably the combination of citra hops and use of wheat and oats. Not a bad NEIPA and actually very tasty but feels brewed to a budget

I got a couple cans of this beer from a mixed 12pck that I bought from my local Kroger store. It poured a hazy golden with thin white ring head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had fresh tropical fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright sweet malt base with bitter pineapple and tangerine presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Can. Pours an almost opaque straw colour similar to orange squash. Scummy head.
Smells of tangerine with hints of pine.
A mild resin flavour which provides some dryness without any bitterness.
A bit of a chewy feel.
Reflective of the style.
