Pours a semi clear amber with soft, fine head.

Smell is piney with notes of caramel, grapefruit and orange marmalade.

Taste is fruity, but a little bit muddled. Notes of pine, grapefruit, caramel and orange peel. Moderate bitterness and a slightly dry finish.

Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.

Overall, a nice west coast IPA, lacking a little focus.

Copenhagen 13/4 2020. 44 cl can from Beerlivery Webshop. One of mentioned giants - in the form of a Whale - on the can. I was not aware the Whales have shoulders. But then again: They have sectoral fins so why not shoulders.

Pours unclear, golden yellow with a small white head. Settles as thin patch of foam almost covering the surface of the beer. Clinging to the sides of the glass. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a medium strong sweet odor of exotic fruit like peach and mango mingling with citric and dry odor of grape fruit and lime.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, mighty tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed and balanced by a medium strong citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a lighter sweet undercurrent. Lingers for a while. Finish is dry.

Nice and well balanced IPA. Not too sweet and bitter without being aggressive.
