4.6 Fruity aroma with grapefruit, pineapple and hints of pine. Maybe a bit perfumic good bitterness, very dry. Short to medium long finnish. Very good example of the style

3.2 thuis blik een goud blond kleurig lichaam met een witte kop en met een citrus fruitig hop aroma een citrus fruitig zoet hop bitter smaak met een droge bitter einde

3.4 Hazy yellow colour, white foam. Citrussy, notes of oranges, some peach. Rather thin and watery, hoppy finish.

Moderate flavour of grapefruit, orange, mango, peach, and caramel. Light sweet taste with a light to moderate bitter finish. Mid-bodied, moderate carbonation, dry texture. Probably a bit old this one, but still tasty. [35.5 cl can, enjoyed 1 month before BB date, from Meny Grisen Storsenter, Tvedestrand]

2.6 Kolor jasno złoty z delikatną mgiełką. Piana biała, niezbyt wysoka trwała. Aromat delikatny, owocowy, nuty chmielowe przynoszą cytrusy. Smak choć mocno goryczkowy to ostatecznie bardzo "płytki". Goryczka to nie wszystko. Nuty cytrusowe bardzo zgaszone. Wysycenie wysokie. Ciało chude, wodniste. Tekstura średnio gładka. Posmak krótki, wytrawny, zestowy.

3.8 Pours dirty pale straw yellow with little white head over happy texture. On top, light piney and herbaceous aromas with pineapple, citrus and white bread. First sip is sharp and dry with hops bursting through and a bitter environment. Really herbal, raw and spikey flavors during the drink. Mouthfeel is astringent and dry. The body is light and straight, finish is resinous and bitter with a retentive arid aftertaste.

3.4 Can. Pours hazy pale gold with a thin white head. Citrus, grass and a little tropical fruit in the aroma. Not a lot going on in the flavour, quite mild. Light body, soft carbonation with a lingering citrus-peel bitterness. Very drinkable.

2.9 355ml Dose. Klar und golden mit kleiner Schaumkrone. Leicht getreidig und grasig. Feinherb. Leichter Körper. Etwas penetranter metallischer Abgang.

3.3 Gulbrun farge med hvitt skum. Lukter grape og sitrus.sitrus preg i smak også. Medium bitter avslutning.

3.3 355ml can from local store. Pours hazy golden yellow with good white foam on top and light lacing. Fresh aroma of citrus and grapefruit, pine, very fruity. Taste is citrus, grapefruit and tropical fruits, and a zesty bitter finish which i really like. Light body and oily mouthfeel, a bit watery. Low 4.3% abv and very sessionable. For its abv, quite a good IPA very fresh and easy drinking. Appreciated.

2.5 Geruch: Grapefruit/ passion fruit Farbe strohgelb Schaum mittelporig verfliegt aber schnell Geschmack:Grapefruit danach wird’s hopfig bitter

3.1 Can. Citrus aroma, moderate bitterness, citrus and tropical flavours, overall. A good beer.

3.0 A little spritzy pale ale, light bodied and a bit minerally but does have a bitter coating that builds on the tongue as a redeeming feature and give it the IPA qualification. Tastes better the faster you drink it eg. sessionable. But the light bodied emptiness there kind of expected so can't complain. Has a decent foamy head to it - a carbonation triumph! Not bad but overall a bit yeah nah.

3.4 Can from Edeka Hamburg - slightly hazy golden color, white head. So, after the IPAish PA an PAish IPA. Well... but very nice, sessionable brew. Fruity, medium carbonation. Medium bitter finish. Nice.

3.4 Can: Hazy, golden with a greenish sheen, small lacy white head, distinctive dryish piney and citrussy nose, other exotic fruits underneath, pale malt detectable; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied, a bit tart; lingering dry citrussy-piney finish. As decent as expected...

3.5 Golden with a white head - Citrus hop aroma - Malt body with a citrus hop flavour with nice bitterness - The citrus flavour and bitterness goes into the finish - This was nice

3.0 Blik van de lokale AH. Helder lichtgeel bier met schuim. Smaak is fris, fruitig en bitter hoppig met iets van sinaasappel, wat citrus en een vleug mango. Goed voor de dorst op een zomerse dag.

3.5 35,5cl Can @ Beyond Beer, Hamburg, Germany. Hazy golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma is hops, citrus, pine. Taste is hops, citrus, grapefruit, resin, slightly malty. Medium body, average carbonation.
