Ølfabrikken 100 gram IPA

Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a medium foamy off-white head. Hoppy pine, citrus, and floral aroma. Sweet well balanced malt and hop flavor. Big grapefruit finish. Very good!

Bottle. Now that I know it’s retired I’m glad I picked up more than 1 of these. Pours a hazy amber orange with a small off white head. Aroma is strong and full of hops, spanning the array from herbal to citrus. Flavor comes in shockingly sweet after such a lovely aroma. Malt laced with honey along with caramel, pineapple, and citrus. Mouthfeel can only be described as sticky. Since I won’t likely find anymore of these we’ll see how the remaining bottles hold up so I’ll save one for a while. Good DIPA though it seems to me to need more bitterness to offset a sticky sweetness to be truly outstanding.

Bottle from NEPA case split club. My heart sank when I saw this is a retired beer. For the incredible bittery hop content this is pretty well balanced by the malt quotient and has a rather bready yeasty flavor on top of a fruity prune-like banana-esque flavor. There is a nice alcohol bite within the fruit and some floral qualities. Thank you Josh for organizing the split and Kevin and Lindo for picking this up.

Bottle... Thinkin’ ‘Bout Thirteen Hours O’ Drinkin’ (tew man wrecking crew)... Cloudy, caramel-colored ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Clover honey and faint apricot tantalize my olfactory system. Full-bodied and velvety with ticklish carbonation. Malty sweetness and fruit abound, but in the end, bitterness prevails with a snappy hop bite. Kudos to growler for shipping me the bottle

What a freakin fantastic DIPA!!! hazy amber, off white foam, nose is pine,and citrus mainly grapefruit, flavor is all hops again but has some nice caremel malt notes to balance it very drinkable
