3670 Salikatt Christmas On Fire West Coast IPA Norway Imperial IPA 3.4

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

Rerate, 440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8.0%. Moderately hazy yellow to orange colour, moderate to small white head. Aroma of yellow fruits. The flavour is first fruity, sweet with yellow stonefruits and citrus, ending in a rather dry and sharp ashy and resinous bitterness. Original rating: Sample from tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. My notes differ so much from others that I wonder if the wrong beer was on tap ... Golden colour, white head. Moderate grainy aroma. Very dry and slightly smokey / ashy flavour. Not very interesting at all. Well, it was drinkable, but from Salikatt I expect something much better.
