What about the beer?
Colour is clear light yellow with a medium-sized white head. Aroma has fresh lemon, sweet orange and pineapple. Taste starts with bitter twist of citrus fruits. Tart lemon and bitter grapefruit take over with oily malty body. Towards the end some sweet orange is added to the fruity bitter-turning flavour. Aftertaste has sour and bitter citrus with malty dryness.

Excellent citrus-packed English IPA. Aroma promises fruits and taste delivers. Lemon, grapefruit and touch of orange come through. Really fresh experience.

Am I the only one who thinks it may seem disturbing that many breweries name their brews with a connection to the Lord of the Underworld? I don't think it is disturbing, but some people probably get disturbed. Well, probably they already are if their world is shaken with what's on the label. Right. Enough crap. Let's bring couple more devils to the arena.
