3.3 Tap at Bishops Arms Östersund. Nothing spectacular. A solid IPA choice.....

3.5 Mens jeg nyter de siste solstrålene på Sønder Boulevard, en 0,355 boks fra Kihoskh, mai-19: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Furunål, grapefrukt, tørkede frukter og fuktig barskog. Tørr avslutning.

3.4 Draught @ Brewco, Manhattan Beach CA. Faintly cloudy orange with small frothy whitish head, very faint citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, bitter resin taste with light citrus flavor, thin body, long finish. Decent West Coast IPA.

Slightly unclear pale amber, fair frothy white to off-white head, fairly lasting, fair lacing; aroma pale malts, pine resin, light lemon; taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, grainy, piney, lemon notes; dry grainy bittersweet aftertaste, orange pith, lemon zest, pine notes; medium body, oily texture, average carbonation; nice and tasty strong IPA.

3.6 355 ml can courtesy of MK. Pours a modestly cloudy orangey colour with smallish off-white head. Aroma is pine resin, citrus and floral hoppiness with sweetish malty character. Flavour has grapefruit, some pine and mango with sweetish caramel and crackery grains. Slick mouthfeel. Nice.

4.1 hazy golden to orange colour, medium sized dense off-white head; aroma of orange zest, pine resin, tropical fruits (mainly pineapple and mango), grapefruit and some pine resiny notes; taste has the same notes with some celery-horseradish-like spiciness; good one!

3.8 Can from Beergium, pouring golden color. Aroma of sweet maltiness, orange, tropical fruits, floral notes, pine, citrus, hops. Medium bitterness and body. Good balance between malts and hops, doesn't go overboard with anything but isn't thin with anything either, just a great IPA.

3.5 355ml can. Cloudy, orangey golden colour with average, fluffy, fairly lasting and lacing, white head. Floral, piney, citrusy and slightly tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of orange, grapefruit, mango, some lemon zest with a perfumed touch, minimally sugary, pale and chrystal malty basis. Taste is astonishingly watery, piney, floral and citrusy fruity hoppy, sweet-ish pale malty, zesty notes of lemon and orange, diluted hints of mango. Very drinkable (partly due to its wateriness), not as crispy hoppy as expected.

3.8 can Orangish color, white head with good retention. Aroma has notes of pine, resins, mango and grapefruit. Flavor with a decent bitterness, very fruity, peachy notes, good maltiness. Bittery final, fruity mouthfeel.

3.4 355 ml can, at Bøker & Børst, Stavanger. ABV is 6.8%. Orange colour, large white head. Aroma of West Coast hops, caramel, crystal malts and orange marmalade. Flavour with the same elements, but less bitter than expected. Smooth and nice to drink.

3.6 650ml bottle. Pours out an amber shade. Lots of head. Piney and resinous hops, quite juicy with tangerine flavours. An attack of bitterness. Very good IPA and now seems a more classic example of the style.

4.4 Can @ home. Clear golden color, medium sized white to off-white head that lasts for a decent while and leaves fair to good lacing. Aroma is incredibly hoppy, traditionally hoppy I'd say. Flavor has it too. Hard to describe. Weird to say "traditionally hoppy", feels like I'm an old man all of a sudden. Not the over the top fruit juice that appears to be all there is nowadays. Medium body and carbonation. In any case: I really love this IPA. Awesome.

3.5 Can, 6.8%. Hazy golden with medium off-white head. Aroma is malt, fruit, hops, caramel, peach and a little toasted. Flavour is malt, fruit, hop, caramel, little toasted, peach, medium sweet, grapefruit, pine and medium bitter.

3.5 Can without date markings. An orange beer, a head is big and blond. Aroma has tropical mangos, citrus, some caramel. Taste has caramel malts, tropical fruitness, some pine, medium bitterness. Medium bodied. Not totally fresh anymore, but still tasteful beer.

3.8 Hazy golden with a big white head. Aroma is pine, mango and passion fruit, Taste is pineapple, mango and lime.

4.2 Quite a tasty ipa to find in the middle of Sequioa natiobal park. Good hop flavor. Easy to drink. Pretty good stuff.

4.0 Light amber with medium white creamy head. Malt aroma with hoppy notes. Good hoppy bitterness with some fruity sourness and some malty sweetness on the background as well. Very well balanced taste.

4.0 Dåse: Orange let diset øl med et stort flot skumhoved. Duft aflet sødlig malt med en del citrushumle og en snert tropisk frugt. Super fin bitterhed til at bakke sødmen op i smagen. Rigtig lækker IPA.

4.2 Outstanding indeed. Nice malty backbone, awesome hop combo with citrus, mostly orange, herbal pine aspect, light floral. Light sweetness with moderate bitterness. Refreshing and highly enjoyable

3.7 Canned. Pours hazy golden with an average, lacing white head. Aroma of citrus zest, apricot, floral notes and pine. Sweet taste that ends up more dry and solid bitter. Medium bodied oily texture and average carbonated. An excellent classic IPA. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

3.9 Can. From Beer Republic. Poured unclear golden color with a thick lasting white head. Fruity, juicy, citrusy hoppy with some pineapples in aroma. Juicy fruity, hoppy flavored. Light grapefruity, chewy mouthfeel. Balanced. Tasty.

3.5 Color naranja, translúcido, con algo de sedimento en el fondo de la botella y capa de espuma blanca de tres dedos de grosor, cremosa y de muy buena retención. Carbonatación alta visualmente. Textura oleosa. Típico aroma pomelo, ligeramente floral, pino, malta caramelizada y resina. En boca, sigue al aroma. Pomelo, pino, malta caramelizada y resina. Final de amargor suave y resinoso, que se acentúa mínimamente en postgusto. Alcohol bien integrado. Clasicota y bien hecha.

4.1 I agree, it is outstanding. From the hazy orange when poured, lovely whiff of fresh hops in just the right amount, and that first taste of pure IPA joy that we expect from the US, I wish I had bought a couple more cans from Mikkeller. And so fresh, this being an American can. Lovely.
