Miły (1088) - Kielce, POLAND - DEC 15, 2019
UPDATED: DEC 15, 2019 Wygląd: Barwa złota z średnią opalizacją. Piana biała, średniej wysokości, zbudowana głównie z średnich pęcherzyków, opada do ostatniej warstwy pozostawiając lekki lacing. Aromat: Zbalansowany. Na średnim poziomie chmiel w postaci cytrusów, limonki, zestu z limonki, pomarańczy, mandarynki, pomelo, lekkiej cytryny i grejpfruta oraz jasnych owoców, brzoskwini, moreli, nuty winogrona i lekkich owoców egzotycznych w stylu mango, ananasa. W tle subtelna żywiczność. Całość uzupełnia słodowość chlebowa, lekko biszkoptowa na średnioniskim poziomie. Smak: Słodowo-żywiczny. Na średnim poziomie słodowość chlebowa, biszkoptowa, herbatnikowa, lekko tostowa z subtelnym akcentem jasnego karmelu oraz żywiczność, sosna. Na drugi plan zostaje zepchnięta owocowość z naciskiem na białe owoce. W ustach półsłodkie, treściwość średnia i gładka, wysycenie średnie. Goryczka wysoka, żywiczna, długa i przyjemnie zalegająca, nie gryząca. Finisz półsłodki, żywicznej goryczki i lekkiej słodowości. Ogólnie za mało aromatu chmielu, w smaku dominuje słodowość i żywica, spychając i tak małą ilość owoców odchmielowych w dalekie tło. Goryczka na plus, wyraźna, przyjemna i bez szorstkości.

DraftDodger (7615) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAY 20, 2019
UPDATED: MAY 20, 2019 Copenhagen 20/5 2019. 33 cl bottle from Vin de Table, Frederikssundsvej, Kbh NV. Very amusing take on Nuclear Assault’s old Game Over Cover art. Pours hazy orange with a big white head. Fairly stable. Settles as 2 cm thick layer of fluffy foam. Substantial Lacing. Aroma is subdued at first due to the impressive amount of foam. Gets stronger as I drink the beer. Fermented sweet fruit with strong citric notes of Grape fruit and citrus. Light carbonation. Medium thick, Soft, creamy texture with a light tingling teasing the lips. Flavor is intense with medium sweetness followed by a strong, a little harsh citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter. Lingering. Finish is dry. Nice and dry DIPA. Bitter but balanced. Strong but not boozy.

Foffern (3224) - Bodø, NORWAY - APR 9, 2019
UPDATED: APR 9, 2019 Bottle at home. The colour is hazy orange with a light beige head. Aroma of ammonia, pine, mango, grass and grapefruit. Powerful flavour with lots of hops. Pine, ammonia and grapefruit. slick and soft mouth feel, medium to full-bodied with a heavy bitterness. The beer comply its name. Very hoppy and powerful. A bit unbalanced in my opinion. Solid anyhow.

Vintherbottom (74) - DENMARK - FEB 1, 2019
UPDATED: FEB 1, 2019 Disappointing. Perhaps it’s too much to ask for subtlety in a beer called something with “nuclear”. Well, it is too much to ask for with this beer. It’s just bitter - nothing else. Wouldn’t drink again.
