varanid99 (730) - AUSTRALIA - AUG 29, 2015
Copper with a thin white head. Just smells malty, no hops whatsoever. Taste is more an English ale with a lot of caramel but just nothing at all in terms of bitterness. Disappointing as an IPA but fairly drinkable

Thranemeister (2) - DENMARK - AUG 26, 2015 does not count
This beer is a great example of a ’standard’ IPA, made for the broad audience. There is nothing out of the ordinary but the beer fulfills the requirements of a Indian Pale Ale.

TET (2207) - Kaarina, FINLAND - AUG 21, 2015
A slightly brown, a head is almost medium and blond. Aroma has strong sweetness of syrup, dry cake with toffee, herbs and wood, hint of fruits. Taste isn’t so sweet than aroma but still quite sweet. Caramel, some fruitness, mild bitterness. Quite light bodied. Caramel and sweetness, not like this.

DerGantzel (56) - Aarhus, DENMARK - AUG 18, 2015
Fresh aroma, but only weak floral and citrus. Pale color (of course) and clear. Medium sweet taste and not that bitter. On the can a bitterness of 4 out of 5 is depicted, which is misleading - I would rather say 2 out of 5.! Average carbonation and well foaming. Overall an IPA that is drinkable also for people who doesn’t like a beer with to much bitterness.

DAAIÅ; Tap at Rar Bar. Poured moderate, clear amber with a frothy, fast fading off-white head. Aroma is moderate malt, light citrus, floral and wood. Taste is moderate sweet and bitter with a moderate lasting, light paperish and spice finish. Body is light to medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft to avarage.
