355 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6.5%. Deep golden to amber colour, slightly hazy. Moderate white head. Strong aroma of citrussy hops and old orange marmalade, hints of pine and dust. Fairly crisp and dry flavour, not as sweet as many other American IPAs. Very hoppy, with a very bitter and dry aftertaste.

Pours a clear yellow amber with a 2 finger white fluffy head. Decently carbonated. Aroma is very hoppy with hints of flowers and bitter fruits. taste is very fruity with a texture that reminds me of those fruit snacks you had as a kid. Fairly dry and very sweet. Finishes off like someone blow dried your tongue. Easy to drink but it isn't extraordinary.

After all the IPAs I've had over the years, I am sad to say this comes up just average for me. It is a tasty beer and representative of "West Coast" IPAs with plenty of pine and grapefruit in flavor and aroma. But for the price, there are so many more IPAs I would choose above this one.

Pours a nice copper color, fully citrus - grapefruit flavors, but the bitterness is best described as a "bit edgy" as the bitterness tones clash a bit. Very drinkable, will purchase again.

6.5% abv, lighter in body and look. toasted malt with some good piney hops in the aroma. nice bitterness in the flavor as well, with a pleasing dry bitter finish. not the best, but quite good.

This one poured a copper color. The aroma is floral with some oranges and peaches showing. The flavor has some sour aspects to it. Its moderately bitter with some lemons and grapefruit. Overall not bad at all.

Nothing really wrong with this beer, but nothing outstanding either. Malty sweet and fairly tamed with the hop profile. Nothing really jumps up and bites you ass with this beer. Drinkability is high, but it's nothing extraordinary

Tasted on tap. Orange gold color. Small to minimal head. Aroma is grapefruity and floral. A medium bodied IPA. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are grapefruity and spicy. Hoppy without being over the top about it. Nicely balanced. Smooth taste. Nice but not flashy IPA. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
