Frydenlund Juicy IPA
Ringnes Bryggeri (Carlsberg)

 

 

 

 

 

Drunk at Enerhaugen pub in Grønland (Oslo, Norway). 120 NOK, the more than staggering equivalent to 11€
-Yellow opaque colour with small foam head.
-Smells superbly citric.
-Acid juicy taste. Pineapple taste.
-Crispy feel nevertheless. More watery than a pineapple Juice.

I like it very much.

500 ml can, as Frydenlund Juicy IPA, from Rema 1000 Tau. ABV is 4.6%. Hazy pale yellow colour, moderate white head. Interesting aroma of mango and passionfruit, orange peel, coriander seeds and cloves. Refreshing fruity and spicy flavour with the same elements as the aroma, moderately sweet, low bitterness. Hardly an IPA by any stretch of the mind, but nice enough to drink.

On tap in southern Norway. Somehow NEIPA has made it to every corner of the world. Tropical citrus heavy in the nose. Same in the flavor. Dank and dry. Not a bad beer but a sad attempt and at Norwegian prices it’s absurd (though every other beer would be similarly priced).
