What about the beer?
Colour is fuzzy golden orange with a medium-sized white head. Aroma has grapefruit, orange and tropical fruits. Taste lifts off with biting fruity bitterness. Freshly bitter and piny grapefruit
takes over with sweet orange in the background. Towards the end strong
pine and citrus peel flavours come in front. Aftertaste has peel bitterness and piny dryness.
Fruity, fresh and delicious India Pale Ale. Grapefruit and pine
dominate the flavour strongly but smoothly. Sweet orange and bitter peel
give some extra fruit and twist. Excellent brew from Buxton, once
again.
Ölbeat
As a superfresh IPA, the beer demands a rock song. The name demands a war-related song... Well, since we're in Finland, someone could consider a song where the drunk head-of-the-family takes his axe and drives the rest of the family outside to the cold snow. ("Perr-kele!!") But since those songs are only made in Finland and for certain Finnish beers, we'll stick to the war theme. Even though there are only muskets and horses - no axes - mentioned in the song lyrics. Damn the details, just listen to Bruce and the boys!

From the 1983 album Piece of Mind, the song was written by Steve Harris.
