Pours a hazy gold with a thick white head. Nice citrus aroma. Flavor is a combination of citrus and malt and no real bitterness. I've never had an IPA with this flavor it was really enjoyable.
Tap at MITM, Stockholm. Unclear orange colour, small steady off-white head and lace. Lots mango, citrus and pine in the nose. Medium-bodied. Flavour has also mango and citrus. Robust malt base. Piney finish. Classic style US IPA.
On tap at hopaholic. Hazy yellow colour small white head. Nose is juicy, fruity. Taste is low bitterness some fruity juicyness. It goes.
Bottle. Aroma of citrus, tropical, orange and grapefruit. Malty backbone. Medium sweet and crisp bitter. Great balance. Light and juicy. A nice one.
Bottle. It pours hazy deep golden with a creamy white head. The aroma is ripe pale berries and exotic fruit. Light pine and a good malty backbone. The flavor is sweet fruity with caramel and light piney hoppy notes. Classic IPA.
650ml bottle.Cloudy, orangey golden colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity, hoppy aroma, slightly unspecific fruitiness, sea buckthorn (?), cautious overtones of glue or thinner. Taste is bitter hoppy, unspecifically fruity again, sea buckthorn comes to mind, maybe physalis as well. Not fully convincing.
Fetty Brighty Malzer with The Big Green Americano Oiler Attitüde 👌. PowderDry & AWESOME Heftig 🚀🍄 . BOMBER POWER!!! BOXBEERS:COM.
Taps slightly hazy amber wit a thick, fine-bubbled and persistent buff head. Aroma presents a strong note of pine hops with a tart citrus underpinning. Flavor continues the strong hoppy note and adds more citrus and some fresh malt. Mouthfeel offers lively fizz and good body. Go gangster!
Draught@CBC2016. Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, some floral, mild caramel and some slight wooden and grainy notes. Flavour is fruity, wooden, some floral, caramelly and some bitterness to it.
bottle from boxbeers.dk
Cloudy yellow, smooth offwhite head.
fantastic super dry hoppy aroma with some flowery notes, and good bitterness. very crisp dry malty aroma to balance.
flavor is juicy exotic fruits from the hops, also bitter hops, and a malty balance. Flavor is not over the top fantastic as is the aroma, but it is very tasty nonetheless.
good dry very exotic fruity tasting ipa.
Bottle, no visible BB (from boxbeers). Pours orange with whiteish head. Aroma is hoppy, fruity, citrus, tangerines, pine. Flavor is sweet and bitter, juicy, citrus, tangerines, grapefruit, sugar, pine. Finish is sugary and pine bitter. Overall: very good, very "American IPA". Doesn’t feel very fresh, but I like this kind of beers a lot.
Pours with white head and in almost orange colour. Nose is rich fruity and with grapefruit and ripe sweet fruits. Taste is also crisp and dry with hops in a balanced way. Really a nice well brewed IPA with delicacy.
Draft pours amber with a white head. Aroma of citrus, tropical and caramel. Taste is grapefruit and caramel

Dark golden, with a bit of orange color. Smallish head. Big fresh pine and citrus nose. Hints of pale malt and light honey in the background. A hophead delight in the aroma category. Sweet start, and actually quite sweet throughout. Mandarin orange, light pine and hints of mango work their way around. As it warms a bit of woody bitterness mingles. Funny, the hops are actually better when this one is colder. Fully murky tan color with the last pour. Mild malt and yeast interact nicely. Some apricots in the finish. 6/13
Draft. Slightly sour fruit aroma. Tight lace. 2G with citrus and lots of nutty malt backbone.
Aroma:
Medium/heavy aroma of malts, caramel, orange, pine, hops and citrus.
Appearance:
Turbid/opaque golden/amber beer with slight yeast and with a slight/medium off-white head.
Taste/Palate:
Starts medium sweet with malts, caramel, orange and pine; ends slightly bitter and dry with hops and citrus.
Overall:
This beer is intense, complex and balanced. Amazing appearance, being super opaque with a steady head. The aroma could have been stronger thanks to this. Great taste and palate.
1pint 6fl oz bottle at home from FirmaBier. Nose is citrus, tropical fruits. Body is opalescent orange, head is big, white, frothy rocky, average lasting, good lacing. Aroma is tropical fruits, honey, citrus, orange peel, mandarin. Medium sweet, light bitter, light citric sour. Finish is medium lasting citric hoppy medium bitter. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Easy, refreshing, tasty, nice one.
American IPA from a 65 bottle bought at Bierhalle Deconinck. Frothy and thick, very moussy, foamy, egg-white head (very) slowly thinning in the middle, crowning a lightly hazy, warm and deep orange golden beer with peachy hue, low in visible fizz, turning a muddy orange-hued ochre with sediment added. Lush and dank, typical modern IPA aroma of dried grapefruit peel, sweet paprika, chicken spices, biscuit, green bell pepper, cumin cheese, lemon rind, passion fruit, dry marihuana, oregano, cheese crackers, orange-scented soap. Lively onset with clean yet vivid fruitiness of orange, passion fruit and green banana in a typical sweet and sour mixture, well-carbonated in a refined way fit for the style; minerally accents (very vaguely salty) as well. Supple, smooth, lightly oily mouthfeel, biscuity and lightly bready middle, crackers, providing a nice and sufficiently thick malty backbone for a growing, aromatic, spicy and grapefruity hop bitterness, drying the back of the mouth, bittering in a resinous and confident, long-lasting way and at the same time yielding lovely retronasal effects of red curry, lemon zest and sweet paprika. Accessible, well-balanced, juicy, aromatic IPA: no game changer perhaps, but a very pretty example of the style. Very suitable as an apéritif as well.
On tap at CBC 2016, red session. Pours cloudy orange, white head. Hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, orange, pine, caramel malty. Sweetish with lasting bitter finish. Medium bodied. Very nice.
A hazy, light orange beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has delicious and sweet fruitness, peaches, mandarin, fructose, some citrusfruits, hint of vanilla and fruit candies. Taste has fruitness, fructose, peaches, some pine, medium bitterness that’s enough. Medium+ bodied, balanced carbonation. Age of this bottle is mysterious, propably some aging is happened. High-quality brewing again, great and fruitful aroma, tasteful.
Sampled on draft at Vintage Estate this beer poured a dark copper color with a medium sized creamy white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweet with pine and cactus notes. The flavor was sweet yet bitter with pine, cactus and tequila. Long finish. Moderately full bodied. Ok.
Clear amber body with a thin white head. Aroma is fruity and floral. Grapefruit, caramel, orange, citrus. Taste is sweet and medium to light bitter. Medium body, soft carbonation, watery texture. Very nice.
Cloudy orange with big white foam. Hoppy aroma of flora. Bittersweet taste with hops, flora, citrus fruits especially orangr and grapefruit and sweet alcohol and malts.
Bottle shared thx Seb A: grapefruit, this one is surely old no date on the bottle, caramel, a mix of west coast old hops that I can’t identify. orange, herbacy App: murky light orange smallish white head t/p: med body with moderate bitter finish. Soft carbonation. O: sadly I’m rating this low because I’m sure this bottle is old. Every brewery should have a clear bottling date.
22oz bottle pours a hazy yellow amber color with a bit of head. Sweet citrusy flavor and a little tropical flavor too. Yeast at the end.
Bomber, no BB.
Orange sur léger voile,col épais crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme est houblonné fort plaisant, renfermé, soupçon herbacée rappelant le thé matcha avec un rétro tropical virant sur la mangue. Petite note de grains assure la balance.
Palais est fort plaisant, axé sur le tropical, mandarine, sorte de frisco, thé vert sur gazon frais, épaisseur en bouche niveau grains, avec un fini frais rappelant la mangue.
Bomber shared with brad...first from this brewery...sweet nose...really nice hop malt balance...sweet finish...yummy!..(#869)
draft - pours yellow white head - nose/taste of lemon, light malt and citrus - medium body
Pours a hazy light golden, with mid-sized head. Aroma is quite dank, with citrus notes. Flavor is very citrusy, with a good helping of hop bitterness. Fairly bitter finish. Very nice.
