Canette métallique. Couleur jaune bien voilée. Mousse crémeuse, généreuse et tenace. Nez tout doux et bien fruité avec des notes de pêche, de mangue bien mûre et un peu de caramel et de melon. On sent que c'est costaud, sans que ce soit alcooleux pour autant. En bouche texture est onctueuse à souhait et assez grasse, du velours ! En aromatique on est toujours sur la pêche, la mangue, le melon, avec une finale un poil amère qui apporte une petite touche résineuse. Carbo fine et modérée, facile à dompter. Là aussi les 8% se font sentir, mais pas dans l'excès. Très chouette !
Can 440ml. @ home on the small terrace. 🏡🇩🇰

Can from Tesco. Hazy gold with a thin white head. Apricot jam and orange marmalade. Leafy pulpy juice bitterness. Smooth full body with a bubbly carbonation and a fairly dry finish. Pithy and piney bitterness. Really tasty.
Can from Tesco. Hazy straw coloured, with a thin , fading quickly, white head. Well hopped nose, lots of fresh juicy citrus fruit. There's a pleasant biscuity malt base on the palate, which is well balanced by the juicy hop flavours. The 8% abv isn't that noticeable....nice!
Liquide jaune trouble avec mousse très courte. Nez fruits tropicaux. En bouche, c'est une attaque fruits tropicaux débouchant immédiatement sur une belle amertume résineuse et puissante ! Propre !
440ml can from Tesco, served cool in a tasting glass. Big rounded aroma of tropical fruit and cantaloupe melon. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Fruity flavours give way to dank bitterness. Powerfully juicy mouthfeel. Hides the alcohol well. Oooh, this is good.
Sample thanks to Grumbo: Poured a hazy golden with an off white colored head. Aroma is citrus, fruity, tropical, melon, very fruity. Taste is very sticky fruits, citrus, tropical, resinous, piney towards the finish.
Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Hazy yellow colour. Light malty and heavy hoppy aroma. Heavy bitter powerful flavor. Long heavy bitter finish. Creamy palate. Nice.
How: Bottle, 2017 vintage.
Where: Systembolaget.
Appearance: Hazy golden colour with a white head.
Aroma: Fruit, caramel, malt, hops, citrus, pine.
Body: Medium body and carbonation.
Flavour: Malt, fruit, caramel, citrus, hops, a bit floral.
Initially surprisingly sweet, quickly becoming bitter, with that distinctive citra kick. Finish is a little too strong for my liking on the first couple of sips but becomes very enjoyable afterwards.
Can.

440ml can. Hazy gold white head. Malty light hops light fruit but too malty
Can from Tesco, pours cloudy yellow-amber with a white foam and a juicy-fruity nose. Piney-dank and lightly bitter, sticky and a little warming.
新开桶。前味很甜，后面香而不苦，很新奇但不够美
Murky golden beer, thick white head. Smells of pine, a little grassy hop and pineapple. Flavour is initially soft and sweet with fruit but then a bit more oomph comes in, Sharper with some grapefruit and zesty citrus, a little banana. It's fresh and with a creamy feel and hides its strength quite well. I like this a lot.
Hazy golden color with medium off-white head. Aroma has pine, resin and malt. Taste is malty sweet with long somewhat sweet and bitter aftertaste. Flavors of resin, needles, grapefruit and malty notes.
Looks like tropical juice. With a hint of lime colour when pouring from the can. Smells of passion fruit and pineapple, very acidic in the nose. On first taste I get a hint of banana with a creamy texture. Following on i get a hint of Apricit with a very smooth finish with a creamy almost coconut aftertaste.
Cloudy with sediment. Lashings of passion fruit on the nose. Light carbonation, full mouth feel (almost creamy). Tropical fruit taste, a little tangy, not overly bitter. Really very nice indeed.
(Can, 0.44 l - dates unreadable, from Alko, 20201204) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had pine, resin and grass. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were pine, resin, pineapple, grass, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste had pine, pineapple,and bitterness. A delicious hoppy brew with balanced notes of hops.

Thin white head. Cloudy golden pour. Lovely bitterness.
440ml (8%) shared with Stuartyboy at home on 28 Nov 2020, present from Stuartyboy on 28 Nov 2020 (bb 24 May 2021): floral, fruity aroma, cloudy golden, thin white head, no lacing, earthy, tropical fruits flavour, viscous, sweet.
Bronze with a small head.The first flavour that hits you is sweetness which is followed bt a hoppy,well balanced and quite complex collection of flavours. This complexity makes it stand out, although the sweetness is always there.My first from this brewery for some.They still turn out decent beers.
Can from Vinmonopolet, Kvadrat. Pours hazy golden with a big foamy white head. Sweet tropical fruity aroma, also some good piney notes. Taste is smooth creamy soft fruity with a bold bitter foot print
Cloudy, brownish yellow colour with a small white head. Aroma has overripe fruit, mango, grass. Taste is sweet with little bitterness, juicy. Low medium body and carbonation, light, watery mouthfeel.
Can@home, from Alko Stockmann, Tampere, Finland. Canned 22.10.2020. Strong, averagely balanced nuances of overaged melon, mango and citrus. Quite strong, fresh hops with distinctive profile. Medium body with medium, soft carbonation. Overall, fresh and quite different British product. More like tropical NZ notes than traditional ones. 4 4 7 4 15
Can from Tesco. Pours slightly hazy yellow gold with small pillowy white head/ Aroma is slightly piney, a hint of melon, citrus and pineapple, pretty fresh! Nice balance of sweetness and bitter on the tongue, neither overpowering one another. A touch watery but fairly slick and nice carbonation. Fairly decent DIPA!
Can from Alko. Frothy and earthy aroma. Hazy straw yellow. Full. Grass. Tropical pineapple. Mellow DIPA. Dull even.
Melon and mango dominant in the flavour. Medium bodied and (too) easy to drink. Aroma almost whisky-like, with alcohol coming through.
