Can. Pours clear golden with a small, staying creamy white head. Aroma has citrus hops, fairly light malty, grapefruit. Medium carbonation, fine dry and quite creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has sweet malts, doughy, wheat notes, firm zestiness, citrus. Fine lingering bitterness.
16 oz can poured a clear gold with a lasting creamy off white head. Aromas of straw, earthiness, light grapefruit and a hint of pine. Palate was light bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of straw, earthiness, pine and light citrus with a smooth dry lingering bitter finish.
Pint can. Straw malt aroma with notes of tropical fruit, grapefruit and pine resiny hops. Pours golden colored with a large off white head that has excellent retention and some lacing. Starts with straw malt and tropical fruit hop flavors. Finishes dry with some grapefruit hop citrus and acidity as well as a decent amount of pine resiny hops bitterness. Decent IPA but a little bitter at the end.
Can. Foggy golden, two finger tall white head. Good retention. Aroma: solid malts, honey, dank hops, fruit. Medium body. Fairly bitter. Pine, some earth. Tropical fruit. Long bitter finish. Good still kind a brutal.
(Draught at BrewDog Kungsholmen, Stockholm, 31 Aug 2017) Pale amber colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with grapefruit, tropical fruit and pineapple. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of grapefruit, unripe pineapple, mango, pine needles and a generous citric, piney bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Fresh and tasty with a generous hop character. Nice one.
ABV - 7.5 IBU - 70.
.Appearance: Hazy golden yellow, pale. Big frothy white head with very good retention. Good amount of carbonation.
.Aroma: Very piney, earthy scent. Some notes of citrus , orange peel, pineapple.
.Taste: Surprising malt sweetness upfront. Followed by some notes of pine, lime, citrus. Finish has a subtle hop bitterness. Very subdued. Lingering piney, earthiness.
.Mouthfeel: Thick body, sticky.
.Overall: B-
.Bottom line: Good balanced IPA. Doesn't contain explosive flavor and it isn't overly complex. But it does have a good full body, nice mouthfeel, and the alcohol is very well hidden. It actually is dangerously easy to drink. I'd go back to this if I was in the mood for an easy drinking IPA, that's not too in your face. Solid.
Only word bitter perfect

Aroma of citrus, grass & chives. Clear golden with white head. Medium bitter taste. Light body, slick texture, soft carbonation & a long bitter finish.
Donkerblond. Licht troebel. Perzik, mango, lychee, meloen, beetje hars. Licht fruitige aanzet, mild bittere afdronk. Geen uitschieter maar zeker een correcte ipa.
Big can. Pale, slightly hazy. It is a nice IPA, on the lighter side of Imperial. Simcoes can bug people, but here they don't taste harsh or catty to me. Just grapefruity. Malts mostly stay out of the way.
1 pt can @Cimmeria, Oviedo. 05-10-2017.
Batch: #007.
In short: hoppy DIPA,
Did I enjoy it: moer or less.
Pours little hazy bright gold-yellow with nice white head. Moderate head retention, little lacing. Ripe fruit, citrusy nose. Medium body, average carbonation, slick texture. Taste is quite bitter, dry, citrusy, fruity, little to non malty background. A bit harsh.
Drank 26-09-17 after the colloquium. Good beer, fresh IPA that is comprehensive at the same time and not too sweet/malty. Nice!
473ml can. Pours hazy bright gold with a medium head. Aroma is creamy mango and papaya. Taste is grassy to start and a bitter mango and tropical fruits finish.
Tap @ The Bishops Arms Marina Plaza, Helsingborg 20170922. Fruity and hoppy, grapefruits, medium body with a watery to oily texture. The finish is bitter and fruity.
RB says rating #6006. Pint can from VE. Nose, well, not getting a nose. Pour clear pale golden with a sudsy off-white head. Taste medium-strong bitter, pretty dry, with a build to low-medium sweetness. Alcohol also builds and warms to a low level. Grain pale/pils malt is nice and comes through strongly, there's a tiny bit of chalky coating/minerality though that's augmented by the paper hops character. My can may be old (? this is Batch #001) but there really isn't any explosion from the hops here, more in line with lotion and light tropical rind and musk, all of which increase when I drink faster. Spice there, too, champagne/white wine, and soapy scrubbing of the palate. Straight full body, a little above avg for an IPA, though flavorwise it rather mirrors a stripped-down 'session IPA'.

Color amarillo corona de espuma blanca, aromas frutales notas herbales, el sabor es frutal notas resinosas cuerpo medio.
Really kind of disappointed in this one. Definitely not up to evil twin standards. Aroma is super loud barely noticeable. Appearance is good with lots of lace and a off-white semi long lasting head. Body is a touch thin which affects the flavor. Flavor is hoppy wet grain a little fruity, and a bitter finish. Really nothing too special.
Keg at the craft beer Co Islington. A golden coloured pour with a lasting frorhy white head. Aroma is semi sweet sticky chewy toffee, pine, orange rind. Flavour is composed of semi sweet chewy caramel, and pine,. Not bad. Palate is semi sweet, chewy, frothy airy carbonation. Not bad. Bit old school.
this is a great beer on tap at wexford pub. light golden color, no head or lacing but clean clear hops.. prettyfull mouth.
Can. Hazy pale orange colour, small white head. Very resinous aroma; floral, pale malt. Lots of resin in the flavour, some dankness, beautifully crisp and dry malt backbone, solid and satisfying bitterness. Very good. Pretty simple task as a brewer but I’ve had too many terrible versions of this beer.
Can. It pours hazy golden with a creamy dense white head. The aroma is passion fruit and citrus. Creamy malty notes. Citrusy and bready flavor. Passion fruit and grapefruit. As always good quality from ET.
CAN. Crisp gold with good white head & solid lacing.. Very subtle nose, maybe some passion fruit, light hops.. Very light body, soft malt with light fruit hops, a touch thin, yet hard to believe it’s 7.5%.. Sourced cape cellars
Pours a hazy orange color. One finger white head. Good retention, excellent lacing.
Aroma is malt. Medium pine, medium orange, light pineapple.
Taste is orange, pineapple and grape. Pine, malty sweet, although not so strong. Touch of basil, and dried fruit.
Mouthfeel is medium full. A little unbalanced toward bitter. Oily. Dry.
Overall, it’s okay, One and done. I probably wouldn’t bother again.
Hazed pale golden color with a fine white head. Good intensity in the aroma. Fine hoppy touch. Medium + body and a fine carbonation level. A bit unbalanced sweetness. Oily texture. Grapefruit hoppy, dried fruits, malty and some pine in the flavor.
[Can from Kihoskh in Copenhagen, Denmark]
1 pint can. A clear golden coloured beer with an off-white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, hops, fruit, pine, tangerine and with a bitter finish.

Aromat troche nijaki, smak za to calkiem w porzo, taka maloowocow, oldtimer, ciew ale przyjemna... 3.3 czy cus :) zadnej wódy nie ma ;)
Slightly fruity scent. Fruity and incredibly bitter taste. Heavy bitterness that fills the mouth forever. I think this beer is difficult to drink. Follow me @ Kung av öl @ Facebook for more pictures and ratings.
Vom Fass Stone Brewing Berlin 2017-02 getrunken. Hier hat der böse Mikkeller-Zwilling ein solides Imperial IPA gebraut. Hier wenig Frucht aber der Hopfen ist eher moderat. Daher sag ich mal - "Paßt!"
Draught at BrewDog Ringvägen, Stockholm.
Short off white head. Clear solid golden color. Piny hop aroma. Bitter taste with a mild caramell maltiness.
