4.1 12oz can pours with a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up berry, raspberry, a dash of cantaloupe and then a thin grassy herbal note. The taste delivers bitter grassy somewhat herbal hops blended into berry, raspberry and watermelon fruity hop flavor. This creates a tasty bitter to hop flavor balance. Into the finish a tasty yet thin cracker bready maltiness bubbles to the surface creating another welcome facet to the experience. Pretty nice.

2.1 Scent of fruity, overriped fruits and a lot of grapefruit. The flavor is the same. No further good bitterness that fills the upper part of the mouth for a long time. Feels like this has completely lost the flavor. Follow me @ Kung av öl @ Facebook for more pictures and ratings.

3.4 Pours a hazy pale yellow. Aroma is cantaloupe and honeydew. Taste is malt forward with a hop flavor that mixes in fruit melons etc. bitterness is subtle in the finish but cuts through the sweet fruit flavor balancing out this refreshing IPA.

3.6 Bottle from CITTI-Markt, Flensburg. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, fruity and moderate hoppy - citrus and fruity. Flavor is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and moderate bitter finish. 050817

3.9 Way to pack a lot into the abv. Pours golden. Love the funky edge to the nose which is largely citrus, lemon, old florals. Funk exits the picture on the tongue... Crisp and delightful.

3.8 From cans to pint glass. This was one of my favorite of the series. Clear golden and full white head. Overt hoppiness with a non-bitter, crisp finish. Great.

3.3 Golden pour with nice white head. Good nose of citrus, tropical fruit and touch of sweet malt. Flavor is much the same with a touch of pine. Clean finish.

3.4 12 oz bottle from Country Club Liquors. Nose is citrus, lemon, and a hint of pine. Hazy yellow with a small white head. Flavor is moderately bitter with lemony notes.

3.5 Clean crisp refreshing beer. The flavors are strong but easy to manage. I would like to try this on tap

3.4 Date: 21 May 2017 Purchased From: Young & Jackson Hotel - Melbourne Container Type: On Tap Appearance: Clear amber with a huge clean white head Aroma: Pine and citrus hops Flavour: All hops with a bit of malt in there as well Palate: Resinous and full bodied Comments: Pre GABS beer – a big beer for early morning

3.5 Bottle. 5.9%. Bottled on 29.03.17 (so 27 days past the ”drink within 90 days”). Pours a clear, slightly pale yellow, with a white head. Decent lacing. Sweetish aroma, with a dryish overtone. Citrusy and spicy hops, orange peel. Sugary hint as it warms. Flavour is hoppy, a bit fat, with a light malt note in the background. Citrus, orange peel here as well, and continuing in a mild to medium bitter finish. Lingering grassy and apple notes. Overall good, but a bit weak in the flavour. 24.07.17.

3.6 Citrus pine aroma in a golden pour. Hop forward balance with a full fruity body and a laid back but sustained bitter finish. Pretty much what one is looking for in an IPA I reckon.

3.5 Can poured a hazy yellow with a small lasting creamy white head. Aromas of straw, citrus and a hint of pine. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of straw and lemon zest with a crisp dry moderately bitter finish.

3.8 Flaska. Klar guldfärgad med ett vitt skum. Dofter av persika, melon, citron och tall. Smakinslag av färsk tropisk frukt, blomster, malt och tall. Fruktig och besk avslutning. Medelstor kropp.

3.5 Bottle @ home. Clear yellow to golden color. Aroma is lightly hoppy in balance malty and bready notes. Notes of pine apple, grass, grape and tangerine. Low to medium body, crisp and refreshing. Similar taste with balanced lasting bitterness.

2.6 4 finger white head. Clear, yellow/very pale amber coloured beer. Aroma is pine, grapefruit, lemon forward at first but deeper sniffs reveal passionfruit, pineapple and mango with a slight banana-ish sweetness. Taste is light bread, light grapefruit and light tropical fruits. Weak on the hops. Slightly dry finish. Watery and thin. A bit too sweet and doesn’t hold the balance against the bitterness very well. Tiny bit of stickiness. Very low carbonation. Low bitterness. Overall: It feels like someone who really like quaffable lagers attempted to brew an IPA. Not a drain-pour and not bad but just definitely not competing with other IPAs of the modern day. An OK brew!

3.3 Aroma: watermelon, herbs, weak citrus. Appearance: golden color and white head. Taste: low herbal bitterness, watermelon, pine, weak citrus notes, dry. Palate: medium body and medium carbonation. Overall: nice drinkable IPA, watermelon is on the top.

3.5 Flaska från systemet. Luktar friskt, somrigt. Smakar bra för att vara en Ipa. Inte så löjligt stark heller.

3.9 Pale golden pour with a single finger head. Aroma has some pineapple and melon notes. Taste has lots of citrus notes up front and finishes with a hint of grain. Lace present. Medium bodied. Really nicely balanced with a slightly dry finish. Could drink many of these in one sitting.

3.6 Clear golden color with a fine white head. Ok lacing. Looks inviting. Fine intensity in the aroma with a fine hop profile. Medium body and an average carbonation level. Fine balance between sweetness and bitterness. Semi dry ending and an ok lasting flavor. Mild grapefruit hoppy, pine and fruity flavor. Nice refreshing stuff in the sun.
