What about the beer?
Colour is cloudy dark orange with finger-thick natural white head. Aroma has orange, lemon and pineapple. Taste begins with bitter hops and grapefruit. Fresh grapefruit takes over, with a slice of sweet pineapple on the side. When the beer warms up a bit the grapefruit is replaced by heavy lemon-orange flavour. Before the finish mouth gets hit with dry pine and sour grapefruit. Aftertaste is dry and very bitter.

Fresh tasting fruity IPA, where bitterness strikes strongest in the end. The way the flavours evolve when the beer warms up a bit, makes the aroma and the taste fit together well. The brew was named to honour the crowdfunders which helped the brewery to start. That was money well invested.

Since the beer is rocking fresh, it yells for guitars and classic rock. Because it has been brewed out of respect to the crowdfunders, this legendary tune caught my ear (even though they didn't get the money for nothing):

From the 1985 album Brothers in Arms, the song was written by Mark Knopfler (except the backing vocal line "I want my MTV" by Sting).
