Supplier: Beer52
Another from the Beer52 box, this is from a Swedish brewery; it is their IPA made with Centennial and Cascade, and dry hopped with Cascade. It has won gold at the Stockholm Beer & Whiskey Festival four times (2008, 2010, 2012 and 2013). I served this straight of the fridge.

Appearance: Pale with a ruby red hint. A thin off-white head that dissipates quickly.
Aroma: Smells just like a big barrel of dried hops, with lots of fresh grapefruit notes.
Flavour: Sweet with a lovely hop resin note, some malts support in the back. The hoppy notes tend to disappear quickly
Body: Thick with a syrupy note.
Aftertaste: A bit more of a hoppy bitterness, with a lot more of a grainy malt back.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 7, lovely hoppy notes and a thoroughly drinkable beer, close to an 8 but the flavours tend to go.
Price Range: Part of a box of 8 I got for £12 (usually £24), so it works out at £1.50 for a 330ml bottle; more than worth it, a great price for this.
Food Pairings: One of the few times I agree with the food pairing, chicken curry would go great with this.
