3.0 A small taste @ the flagship Alko, press blind tasting. Pours clear golden with a low head. Aroma is slightly fruity malts. Flavor is bitter malts with some fruity notes and plenty of hops. Decent.

3.4 33cl can from Alko. Poured light amber in color. Dried fruitiness, malts and bitterness. Good body and drinkability. Easy, straight forward.

3.7 Can 340ml at home. From Alko. BBE 2022-08-02. Pours clear yellow with white head. Flavor has pale malts, grapefruit, pine, grass, fruity hops. Medium body, average carbonation, bitter finish.

3.9 Pours a slightly cloudy amber to orange with a thin head. Aroma is nice. Apricot, caramel, orange, pineapple and straw. Taste as some initial sweetness and a nice bitter and tangy finish. Lovely stuff.

3.2 An orange beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has grapefruit, caramel, mild. Taste has caraml maltyness, wood, mild fruitness. Medium bodied. Quite boring, more fruitness would be needed.

3.2 Can. Light golden, small to verage and fully diminishing head. Moderate, malty - lightly wheaty and dryish aroma, light biscuity notes, light - some tropical fruitiness and light - some citrus hoppyness. Body is medium, malty - lightly wheaty and dryish, light biscuity notes, light tropical fruitiness and light - some citrus hoppyness. Finish is average, malty - lightly wheaty and dryish, light - some biscuity notes, faint fruitiness, some citrus hoppyness. OK dryish IPA with wheat and cereal notes. Finish gets bit sharp and soapy - could use more fruitiness.

3.7 Fruity IPA

3.4 From Morrisons Dover

3.5 330ml can from Waitrose in Jersey. Pours golden with a white head. Aromas & tastes of orange, pineapple, melon, mango, peach, pine, grass & malt. Medium body. Dry moderate bitter finish. Very enjoyable

3.5 330ml can from Waitrose, Worcester Park. Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of pine malt. Bitter fruity taste. Bitter finish.

3.8 Real nice. Golden colour, pine and hips on the nose. Velvety mouth feel. Bitter hops and toast in the mouth with fade to gentle bitterness with a wisp of mango.

3.6 330ml can. Gold, small white head, some retention. Aroma of tangerine, mango , pine but quite stewed and malty. You can tell this is not going be a session version body wise. Quite a resinous taste of semi-stewed tropical fruits, part fresh, tangy. Full body, moderate carbonation, quite a bitter and dry finish. Decent stuff.

4.3 You walk into your motel room after a day of frustration at the Komanski hearing. You throw down your briefcase, loosen your tie and catch your reflection in the mirror. You gaze at yourself and say to your soul that never again will Judge O'Hanrahan get the better of you. Bonking bit of booze.

3.8 Foamy white head stayed on a slightly hazy amber coloured still body. Malt & stewed fruit aroma. Medium bodied, smooth on the tongue with well carbonated back. Bitter pith, stewed fruit, grapefruit, pine & dank tastes with a malt backbone. What have been missing..... Didn't realise this was so good

3.6 Liquide orangé transparent sans mousse. Nez légèrement résineux et rond sucré. En bouche, c'est très doux en attaque puis apparaît une belle amertume résineuse. Classique mais efficace !

3.5 330ml can – Pours a clear yellow gold colour with a small mostly lasting white head. Aroma is sweet, oranges, pineapple, melon and pale malts. Moderately sweet and bitter taste, pithy oranges, peach and lime with a citrus and pine bitterness to finish.

3.5 7/6/2020. Sample courtesy of the SHIG, cheers! Pours clear dark gold with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of pine, burnt rubber, orange pith, key-lime, citrus, malt. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body. Nice bitter finish. Pretty decent.

3.5 Can: Poured a coppery orange with an off white head. Aroma is perfume hops, little fruity. Taste is nice hops forward, fruity, with some malt balance, hops stay on into that rugged palate finish.

2.5 Just didnt like the craft lager taste

3.7 Cloudy golden course. Good solid head. Malty aroma and a strong yet smooth tasting IPA.

3.9 September 8, 2019 - at Cask Pub & Kitchen - handpull cask. Slightly hazy amber-gold with a solid frothy off-white head. Aroma is mineral/iron/sulphur, plenty of acidic UK hop funkiness, noticeable alcohol - nice. Taste is a bit boozy, like an over-hopped strong golden ale with some sour mash cereal malt character, even some green damson acidity ... interesting (8-). Average to light body, chewy and astringent (quite astringent, really) and acidic, very mild carbonation with a long bitter finish, marigold pungency that starts to coat the palate - by the end of the glass I was very impressed; it's big, it's acidic, but it's good.

2.7 Malt and bitter hops

3.4 Bottle from supermarket. Hazy gold with a thin white head. No heavy aromas. Lime cordial and piney needles. This packed with resinous flavours. Barley sugar. Dry, grassy alcohol warmth. Bit of jelly babies. Full bodied with a soft carbonation. Super dry finish. Tasty bitter IPA.

3.2 Amber in colour. Hints of citrus and pith. Malt and hops throughout. With a slight bitter finish

3.4 Aromat na poczatku calkiem spoko grejfrucik limonka marakuja ale potem wylazi troszke aldehyd. Cialo srednie, wytrawne, sciagajaca goryczka. calkiem ok

3.3 No fruit, quite flat and bitter. Ok (Asda)

3.3 Keg All In Beer Fest 2022-11-12 Göteborg dry fruity, wee cedar, keep rating Can thx to dantomlinson 2019-12-14 Göteborg AR: bitter grapefruit, dried fruity, warming feeling AP: bronze clear, wee white head F: bitter grapefruit, dried fruity, warming feeling, marmalade

3.4 non una classica ipa, sbilanciata sul versante malto e in particolare frumento, sostanzialmente una wheat ipa. La birra in sé è pure gradevole, secca e beverina, non troppo saporita ed esteticamente gradevole. Provata ma non da riprovare.

3.2 Can at home bought from local supermarket. This is more of a old school ipa. It just needed more bitterness to be perfect

4.0 330ml can. Pours gold with thick, white, lasting head. Aroma and taste: thick fruity citrus. Syrupy mouthfeel with lasting hop finish. A good beer.
