Mandarina IPA
Nøgne Ø

Orange, slightly red color with a huge orangy head. Foam stays for a very long time. Smells of orange, melon, citrus and kimchi. Citraic, grassy fresh hops, defined by orange and lime. Bitterness is recognizable from the beginning, becomes stronger as the malt vanishes. Long bitter finish, with a pleasant chewy mouthfeel. Hops go along with hints of ripe fruits and earthy malts, leaving enough room for the strong bitterness, which creates a decent complexity, while not being too hoppy. Long likeable aftertaste.

Bottle. Cooper little hazy with great, huge, white, densed head. Long lasting. Good lacing. Aroma is moderatly but mainly malty (caramel). Hoppy aromas are somewhere in the background - mainly citrus, grassy and earthy. You can feel somewhere hints of honey. Taste is light to medium bitter. The taste is rather semi-sweet with malts all around. Medium body, semi-sweet, medium carbonation, smooth texture, well hidden booze. In general not very balanced IPA, but definetely refreshing and drinkable. Good as session beer.
