This is a slightly cloudy beer but with a great rounded taste, coming from Britain I love highly hopped beers which make them bitter (I really don’t like sweet beers much). This one has plenty of body, depth in taste and fantastic with food. This is my first time in Sweden and I found it in the airport hotel along with other craft beers, all on draught at Gothenburg.

A 330ml bottle with a BB of Aug 2018. ABV is stated as 6.5%. Acquired a little while back from the Brewdog webshop. Described on the label as an American IPA brewed with five high-alpha hop varieties.
A: Poured into a Duvel tulip. Bottle conditioned. A rich, hazy orange-amber hue with plentiful suspended sediment and low carbonation. Produces a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a minute or two before reducing to a patchy surface layer. Slight lacing.
S: Aroma of sharp fruity hops with hints of mango, tropical fruit, citrus, peel, white grape, mild pine resin, ale yeast, caramel malt, subtle earthiness and a vague vegetal quality that lurks in the background. Decent, though the hop character seems a tad muddled.
T: Tastes of intense fruity hops with notes of pine resin, dank weed, grapefruit, citrus, peel, tropical fruit, ale yeast, earthiness, caramel malt and a lingering leafiness. Hop aromatics seem ill-defined. Slightly sweet, followed by a powerful hop-driven bitterness upon swallowing.
M: Mouthfeel is chewy and tingly, with soft carbonation and good body. Quite astringent; hop oils stimulate the palate. Aftertaste of bitter aromatic hops, pine, citrus, tropical fruit, ale yeast and caramel malt.
O: Pretty good, but not world-class. The hops seem somewhat faded and lacklustre, though the beer is well in date. Looks OK, if a tad flat, while the aroma and flavour are hoppy but indistinct. Body is alright; texture could be improved. Drinkable but doesn't knock your socks off. Seek out a fresh one if you're going to try it.

Hazy golden, off white foam which diminish fast to a small crown. Spare lacing. Some earthy hops and tropical notes in aroma. Flavor is mostly bitter, however you can find some sweetness and sour notes also. Light body, average carbonation and dry finish best describes a mouth feel. Also gets watery and gritty.
It is a smooth, light beer in a palate but gets dirty in a finish. I am disappointed.

Clear golden color with white head. Aroma has lager style sweet malts with some grassy hops on top. Taste starts on the sweet side with a strong malt character but finishes hoppy and bitter. Medium body with soft carbonation. Overall it's a nice beer but it's not really the classic IPA you would expect.

On draft at Cerveteca, Lisbon.
Pale orange with crusty white high tide. 3.75
Mad JuicyFruit nose with some spicy little skunk underneath. 5
Orange segment and orchard fruit with harsh IBUs poking out right away, then some dank, nettle, and pith hops. 4
Hi-C finish and aspirin linger.
Slight cling, oil, lt-med. 4
Chalk and peaches. Fruit and citrus hops but huge IBUs - scathing herbal bitterness. Not bad, but not easy. 3.75
