3.8 Rating 5700. Burk. Disig bärnstensfärgad med ett smutsvitt skum. Dofter av grapefrukt, övermogen frukt och kåda. Smakinslag av grapefrukt, melon, trä och kåda. Oljig munkänsla. Medel mot stor beska.

2.6 Pours golden amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma of pine, resin. Taste has resinous pine, pinecones, lemony resin. Palate has galaxy and heavy resin permeating the nasal cavity. Intensely resinous.

3.3 Very very bitter flavor that completely takes over the beer and does not allow the fruit flavors to come out and shine. Still not a bad beer.

4.1 Pretty pumpkin color, frothy off white head. Nose is pungently pine, resin, stone fruit nectar. Very rich flavor profile with well masked booziness.

3.8 Can from the 12 Beers of Christmas Pack - Day 12. Poured a clear orange color with a fluffy white head. Aroma was hoppy pine, citrus. Sweet caramel notes. Some dankness. Grassy, pine hop cone. Some alcohol comes in.

3.5 A bit tired hop aroma, but some faint fruitiness. Bitter with a balancing malt body.

3.4 Too bitter and swampy for my taste. Notes of vanilla.

3.7 Old school IPA med rejäla humletoner och hyfsad beska. Trevlig bekantskap i klassen!

3.9 0,473 l can from Enköping Systembolaget. Solid Double IPA, tastes well after work.

4.0 Perfect, hoppy aroma, with well-balanced exotic fruit and spicy notes. Taste is fresh, slight salty, bitter, and fruity.

3.6 Burk från systembolaget. Gyllengul öl med vitt skum. Fruktig och humlig med toner av grapefrukt och granskott. Torr härlig avslutning.

3.2 Burk från Systembolaget. Bärnstensfärgad med luftigt smutsvitt skum. Ganska standard ipa. Lite skogig och lite karamell.

3.7 16 oz can. Smells of grapefruit. Dark orange with a light haze. Nice blend of sweet and bitter. Taste of grapefruit with some tropical fruit notes mixed in. Nice juicy finish. Booze is well hidden, nice!

3.5 Not too bitter. Dank but balanced. Doable for me.

3.4 Smell of spruce, grapefruit. Deep a,ber colour, very high off-white head. Aroma of spruce, overripe citrus, earth, some alcohol. Very bitter, medium sweet. Viscous texture. Flat carbon.

3.6 Pours a lovely hazy orange and gold color with a perfect amount of off white head. Aroma is funky, dank, resin hops, with notes of tropical fruit although a bit over ripe. Taste is good, tropical fruits and dank dank hops balanced fairly well. This is my 3rd beer from Clown Shoes in the last week and while this is the best their flavor profiles are extremely similar.

4.0 I am hopeful Galactica can save me me this evening from the underwhelming results from a flavored kolsch and a seltzer, onward and perhaps upward. I have a 16 oz can from The Cellar nearby along with a snifter from Houston’s Buffalo Bayou. The can delivers a regal dark gold body, exuberant carbonation and a retentive egg-brown head. Nice with the smell, tropical fruit, pine and grass. I get a taste that is moderately aggressive with resin, mown grass, some pineapple and crackers. The lacing is appreciated. My faith is restored.

3.6 Can 473ml at home. From Alko web shop. Canned 2019-12-16. Pours clear golden orange with off white head. Flavor has malts, grapefruit, orange peel, pine, sugar. Full body, oily texture, average carbonation, bitter finish.

2.2 Strong IPA: hoppy

3.6 An orange beer, a head is dense, quite big and blond. Aroma has fruitness of mango, some citrus, caramel, wood. Taste has fruitness, wood, pine, medium bitterness. Medium+ bodied. Good beer.

3.6 1 pint can from Alko. Canned 12/16/19. Poured amber, clear with a thick white head. Malty, bitter, piney aroma and flavor. Age shows unfortunately, but nice body, the piney hops and bitterness makes up a little for the age.

1.2 Incredibly much scent and flavor of grapefruit. Light bitterness that fills the upper part of the mouth to a weak moment. Not a beer for me. Follow me @ Kung av öl @ Facebook for more pictures and ratings.

2.7 330ml tin. Thick collared coppery amber. Nose honey, sugared grapefruit, pine, menthol and Cointreau. Toothpaste and lozenge flavour warm with orange-scented liqueur. Fat and bland.

3.0 Can. Copper in color with a three finger head. Aroma is the usual hoppy citrus. Taste is grapefruit and also the usual hoppy.

3.8 12oz can from BeerHawk, enjoyed in a snifter on 25-Dec-2019. Hazy amber pour with a thin white head. Aroma of malt, tropical fruity AMD pine. Medium body and carbonation. Sweet malt backbone, caramel, mango, grapefruit and fliral hops. Medium bitterness. Sweet hoppy finish. Good balance.
