Copenhagen 24/7 2025. 33 cl can from Systembolaget, Emporia, Hyllie. A little guy in a little boat about to be swallowed by a huge carnivorous eel on the can. The version I am drinking only holds an ABV of 5,9.

Pours unclear golden yellow with a mid-sized white head. Stable. Settles as a 1 cm thick layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Clinging to the sides of the glass. Substantial lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet odor of ripe stone fruits mingling with tart citrus fruit. Peach and mango. Tangerine. Citrus and grapefruit. A bit acerbic.

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

Flavor is fairly intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a stronger tart, bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter and citric. Lingers for a while. Finish is rather dry.

Fresh and tart.

May 2017: 330 ml can, from the Norwegian importer. ABV is 6.4%, IBU 68. Deep golden colour, large white head. Strong aroma of tropical fruits, grapefruit and pine. Hoppy flavour on a medium sweet malty base, again with notes of tropical fruits, grapefruit and pine needles. Resinous and bitter finish.

A little more bitterness and empahsis of grapefruit than the Juicebox, so for those that like a bitter bite.

Can. Light amber. Slight haze. Thick frothy head.
Potent aroma of tangerine and other citrus/tropical fruits.
Tastes the same with pine resin. Light astringency.
Rather chewy feel.
Middle of the road AIPA. Nevertheless quite drinkable.

330ml can.
L: Opaque orange with a thick, long-lasting, soapy, cream-coloured head and several rings of lacing.
S: Orange marmalade.
T: Overripe mango & bitter orange. Light bitterness.
F: Medium body, rich & chewy, with a subtly dry finish.
O: Moreish, easy-drinking, hoppy AIPA brewed in South London. Favours fruit over pine and both bitterness and alcohol are dialled down.

At the brewery. Clear golden color with a two finger thick head and leaving strong laces.
Mild aroma with pale malt sweetness, pine and white fruits. A bit disappointing for the style.
Flavor is much more interesting with notes of pine, grapefruit, tea leaves, spices, some mango and lychees. Quite dry aftertaste with a decent bitterness, but sure it doesn't feel as high as 60 IBUs.
Bordering medium body with appropriate carbonation.
American IPA with bold piney, citrusy and white fruits hops notes.
