A crisp, hoppy brew boasting impressive, classic IPA bitterness. Molten copper in color, our IPA envelops the senses with red berries, citrus and a hint of plum. The true spirit of IPA shines through: Intense. Pure. Awesome.

Copenhagen 13/8 2017. 33 cl bottle from Meny. Simple label stating that IPA stands for "Intense Pure Awsome". Sounds reassuring.
Pours hazy amber with big white head. Settles as 1 cm thick layer og foam with heavy lacing along the side of the glass.
Aroma is strong. Sweet exotic fruit. Peach and mango. With more subdued citric undertones. Gives it a citric freshness.
Soft carbonation and medium thick palate.
Flavor is medium sweet followed by slightly stronger bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet caramel intermingling with acidic bitterness.
It is indeed intense and pure. And it’s working on being awesome.

Look: straw color with a white head
Smell: citrus, hop, and malt
Taste: a bit piney, but relatively low bitterness for an IPA. Certainly not the best west coast IPA I have had, but better than I expected from a German brewery.
Feel: nice fizzy carbonation

Light and clean orange color, good creamy head.
Citrus smell, quite fresh and pleasant. Light malt.
Taste with a light body, citrus again.
Light but present caramel.
Pleasant IPA, citrussy, simple and drinkable.
