330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet Madla. Golden colour, moderate but lasting head. Lovely aroma of fruity and herbal hops. Medium dry flavour, with distinct fruity, resinous and very bitter hops throughout.

Poured a nice slightly cloudy starw colour - head was nice a nd fluffy and lingered well.
Lovely biscuit and bready malts on the nose with a little citrus.
Palate is much of the same with more tropical fruit. Very well balanced assertive bitter finish. Good mouth.
Wonderful beer - slightly too hoppy for my personal tastes but very well made.
Highly recommeded

Pours a medium-yellow colour. Smells light, citrus-hop nose, with a hint of malts. Tastes bitter upfront and throughout, feeling it on the sides of the tongue (dry); there is an underlying earthy malt taste as well.

This beer is not bad, but not great. The malt is pale and leaves quite a thin body, with subdued hops giving quite a muted hint of citrus - mango and lime. Both are quite lacking though, and it doesn't really reach it's potential as a thin, quaffing beer or a big, hoppy beast. Edit: it does improve as it warms to 9 or 10 degrees Celsius, lots of zesty lime.

Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is fresh and hoppy, with grassy, slightly citric hops. Taste is also hoppy and quite bitter. Nothing much going on here but overall it's an enjoyable IPA.
