473 ml can, from Vinmonopolet Kvadrat. ABV is 7.5%. Very cloudy yellow colour, moderate to small coarse white head. Distinct aroma of spruce and pine, tropical fruits in the background. The flavour has citrus and tropical fruits, followed by distinct piney notes. Medium bitterness.

A - Medium hazy to opaque golden orange color dense moderate lacing with a thin layer of white cream resting on top.
S - Peach, melon, berry, herbal, tangerine, and some pineapple.
T - Dank pineapple, spicy pineapple rind, pithy tropical fruit, spicy/peppery grapefruit rind, and finishes on the sweeter side with lingering citrus peppery spiciness.
M - Big medium body with some slight chewy frothiness.
O - This is a rock solid New England style IPA that's packed with alot of flavor. Definitely worth checking.

A - Pours a pale orange color, almost completely opaque, with just a hint of transparency if you look in from above. The head pours bright white, short and quick to fade to a ring and a subtle cast over the top. Lacing is extensive, curtain bubbles.
S - A pungent fruit cocktail, primarily citrus in the form of tangerine, orange, and grapefruit, with pineapple and peach elements, and just a bit of resin and pine tingling on the nose as the it fades away.
T - Big and bright fruit in the front, the citrus predominant, tropical and stone fruit in the middle along with a growing grapefruit zest presence, and a slightly bitter pith note to finish, along with some minty highlights in the close.
M - Slightly prickly carbonation and acidity combine, moderate weight, and a fairly dry finish for a NEIPA. There is some resin build on the tongue over time.
O - This is a surprisingly good show, delicious with a lovely nose. The feel is a bit taxing over time, but given how much is packed into this fine brew, it is hardly too big a knock. I would seek this out again, certainly.

Had this beer at the brewery. I found this beer similar to Homestyle in that it looked and smelled good but the taste and finish were very disappointing and I truly don’t understand the ratings on this site. This beer was hard to finish because the taste and drinkability is not there. The hops suffer, just flat, uninteresting and the back end is astringent and lacking. I couldn’t finish it. It just wasn’t good.

Pours a hazy amber golden color with a slight head and lacing
Aroma has tropical and citrus hints
The taste follows the nose with a nice tropical and citrus, but dominant grapefruit flavor
A medium bodied well carbonated beer
A well balanced NE IPA

Almost the perfect beer. Nice color hazy yellow. Scent of orange, tropical, and grapefruit peel.
Taste is well done with just the right amount of bitterness to keep you coming back for another sip.
Overall Bearded Iris Is on the map to see what else they make to try
