O:
A nice, juicy NEIPA, but on the Tongue it doesn't hold the intense Aroma of the smell.

The nose is immediately fruity explosion: passion fruit, especially mango.
Poured is a deep and intense golden color, hazy.
Abundant foam even if of light consistency, very tasty.
In the mouth, medium body, but smooth, aided by a lively carbonation.
Predominant taste of exotic fruit (passion fruit, mango, papaya.), Yellow peach and a light citrus note of pink grapefruit.
The fruity taste is softened, but there is no impression that there is a sort of "veil" that almost divides the beer in two between the very tasty initial part and the dry but not bitter finish.
The finish is dry and also slightly bitter, which I personally appreciate.
Very tasty, undemanding.
Excellent quality / price ratio.

 

Pours a hazy yellow, with fine, soft foam.

Smell is fruity with notes of pineapple and peach and just a hint of nail polish remover.

Taste is floral and perfumey up front. Herbal notes and some fruitiness comes through as well. Moderate bitterness.

Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.

Overall, a decent beer, but another example of Swedish brewers thinking that a New England IPA just has to be hazy. This is not juicy enough, and lacks the mouthfeel of the style.
