BBE 15/11/2017. Kuparisen haalea väri, olematon mieto vaahto. Tuoksusta ei saa kiinni, lähinnä ontto raikkaus. Suutuntuma kohtalaisen kuiva, semihyökkäävän pippurinen, suufiilis kohtuukiva hedelmäisyys, alkoholisikunaa, Liian kuiva, ei jatkoon.
on tap dark gold pour thin white head aroma was pine and a bit of caramel malt taste was same with a lingering hop bitterness
Draught.
Hazy amber colored with a huge white head.
Fruity aroma of hops, resin and pine needles.
Fruity flavor of caramel, resin and hops with notes of pine needles.
Hoppy finish.
355ml bottle from Alko. 2016 B2. Pours clear golden orange with a smooth white head. Aroma of caramely malts, old grassy hops, hints of fruits, pine and citrus. Taste is sweetish, malty and caramely with some stingy hoppiness, hints of tropical notes, fruits and pine. Finish is sweet and malty with some old hops, hints of caramel, pine and resin. Not very fresh, unfortunately.
Poured from the tap into a tulip glass at the Taco Mac in Atlanta. The appearance is a murky light yellow color with a small white head. The aroma is citrus and hops. The taste matches the nose.
Pours from bottle a mellow yellow with dense, medium white head that leaves some nice lacing.
Big nose is pine and flowers, a touch of citrus and an aspiration to mango. But in the glass, it’s all pine and rind, the latter being the flavor that lazy beer writers tend to call "grapefruit." Bitter, bitter and, oh yes, bitter. Medium body, slightly slick mouthfeel.
Victory has a line of good brews, including some drinkable IPAs. Here, they prove they can produce one for those willing to drink anything with "hop" in the name because, you know, hype.
Scent of fruitiness. The same applies to the taste with a little too much bitterness. Heavy bitterness that fills the mouth forever. For bitter beer for me to like it. Follow me @ Kung av öl @ Facebook for more pictures and ratings.
0,355l bottle shared with wiosna @ One Pint Pub. Pours cloudy golden with a medium head. Aroma is fruity malts with some pine. Flavor is fruity malts with some pine, alcohol and hops. Good stuff.
Bottled, from Systembolaget. Clear golden, mid sized head. Dank citrusy nose. Sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. White pepper, lychee and sweaty citrus. Warming, really bitter finish with some saccharine.
Gylden brun klar med høyt beige skum. Lukter tørket frukt, noe trevirke og karamell. Fyldig. Mye bitterhet. Moden frukt, sitrusskall og noe brent karamell. Lang bitter avslutning.
Draught @ Taproom Malmö, Bergsgatan 33, Malmö, Sweden 21422.

Golden color, white head. Ripe fruit nose, caramel malt, strawberry, grass, herbal, hint of sweet licorice. Caramel malt taste, herbal, mint, resin, sweet fruity notes, bitter finish. Medium body, average carbonation.
Pullo @ Alko. Kaatuu IPA-lasiin vaalenkullankeltaisena ja kirkkaana, noin 2,5 sormen pumpulisen vaahdon suojaamana. Tuoksu on humaloinnin osalta hyvin kukkainen, sitruksinen ja suht havuinen, kukkaisuuden (amarillo?) ollessa selvästi vahvimpana. Maltaisuus tuntuu lievänä viljaisuutena, muttei ole kovin makean oloinen. Maku jatkaa kukkaisen sitruksisella linjalla, jotain sitruksen kuortakin tuntuu joukossa. Havua iskee loppumaussa runsaasti joukkoon. Maltaisuus on hieman makea, mutta ei karamellinen. Suutuntuma on hökkäävän humaloitu, tuntuu yllättävän tuoreelta tavaralta. Muuten tuntuma on hieman makea ja melko täyteläinen, lopussa kuivattava. Veikkaisin ainakin amarilloa (näköjään ei) käytetyn tähän humalankeruuolueen, niin vahvaa oli kukkaisuus läpi tuoksun ja maun. Katkeron puraisu ovn todella napakka, ja maltaisuus on kaukana makean karamellisesta, tämän kaltainen DIPAn pitää ollakin.
Growler from Kool Keg, freshly filled and opened. Clear. Golden yellow color, rocky head. Big dank, grassy hops. Some BO notes. Musty. Flavor is not over the top hoppy but it is certainly present. Bready backbone. Citrus and musty dank hops. Grassy. Fairly bitter finish but not too crazy. Nice.
Bottle from web SB cons 2017-03-18 Göteborg
AR: mandarin, yuzu, wee grape tonic
AP: clear coppery, wee thin white head
F: pretty bitter, grape fruit, Yuzu, mandarins zest
Bottled. Golden coloured. Unclear. Dense off white head. Aroma. Herbs flowers pine spice sweetness. Flavour. Flowers, herbs, sweetness, pine caramel, apple. Medium to full bodiez, ends flowery bitter.
Bottle from systembolaget Sweden. Huge and lasting off white head. Intense and fresh grapefruit hop aroma. The citrus hop caracter also dominate the taste and give a hard, lasting and astringent bitterness. Mild maltiness and no balancing sweetness.
Burk. Lätt beslöjad gyllengul öl med vitt skum. Doft och smak av ananas, citruszest, viss blommighet, tallbarr och karamell.
One trick pony here. Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma and taste is all hops. Slight tropical fruits in the background. Medium body and carbonation. Very abrasive long bitter finish. A real hop bomb.
A really good example of an Imperial IPA that is waaaay out of balance. Grapefruit and cat box aroma. Lots of mango. The finish is overly intense with the bitterness. Brutal. Danger zone.
Aroma is quite intense grassy hops with some floral notes and an somewhat piney approach. Taste is pretty crisp and dry, which is enhanced by the soft sweetness and herbal touch. Strong, lingering bitterness with maybe a little bit of alcohol bite. This is a strong solid and classic Imperial IPA.
On tap, Randolph NYC. Hazy light amber colour. Solid malts, not cloying. Very hoppy but only medium bitterness, fruity citrus and slightly tropical but a floral note. Drinks easily. Very nice.
Bottle@Konttori, Tampere, Finland. Medium aroma with sweetish, bit sour mango, fruits and hops. Light orange color with small/medium white head and slightly hazy liquid. Medium, balanced taste with overaged mango and hops that makes otherwise sweetish taste drier. Very hoppy. Medium/narrow taste spectrum and long, dry and hoppy aftertaste. Medium body with medium carbonation. Overall, American style IIPA with nice twist of dry sourness that makes it more refreshing. Bit simple though.
Flaska från SB. Smak och doft av Klar, persika, humle, apelsin, citrus med toner av ananas och granskott. Fruktig, lagom sötma, frisk, fin beska. Gott!
Aroma is lightly of feet, and Flowery hops... tasted sweeter and of Flowery hops...Smooth with some alcohol burn... fairly straightforward though
33 cl bottle from systembolaget. Pours golden with little head. Sweet fruity aroma with sweet citrus and hoppy boozy taste. Bitter after taste with boozy finish.
Backlog. Ocena przepisana z untappd, w ramach uzupełniania profilu na ratebeer.
Golden with a small white head. Big resiny, citrusy, tropical fruit aroma. Same characteristics come through in the flavor with a huge hoppy bite that satisfies without overwhelming the palate.
Pours light hazy golden with a medium frothy white head. Aromas of grapefruit, mango, grass, pine, resin, peach. Taste is very fruity with grassy notes and moderate bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation.
Golden towards amber, almost clear. Low head, some laces remaining. Mango and papaya aroma. Fruit and pine in the taste. Long lasting bitterness.
