Ungstrup (14754), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 4, 2007 Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aorm ais sweet mlaty with strong notes of hops giving it notes of grapefruit and peaches, but the alcohol can also be senced. The flavor is sweet mlaty with notes of straw, grass, spices, and grapefruit, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing. Papsoe (14642), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 2, 2007 (Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of MaltOMeal. Hazy, amber golden with a creamy, beige head. Lightly citrusy, hoppy nose. Medium body with a distinct malt sweetness and some dry, lightly citrusy aroma hops in the finish. This lacks some balls to be a truly great Double IPA. 301107 omhper (12155), Stockholm, Sweden Sep 2, 2008 Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear amber, small but firm head. Striking lychee aroma with a twist of lemon. Medium sweet with compact full body and somewhat clean mouthfeel. The initial lychee like hoppiness changes to pine needles over soap and perfume and gives a powerful bitterness. yespr (11645), Copenhagen O, Denmark Dec 14, 2007 From bottle, no 25 at Papsoes blindtasting. Pours hazy orange and with a lacing white head. Hoppy aroma, slight pine and peach fruity. Perfumed flavour of hops, soapy and slight spiced. Ends with a solid bitterness lingering inbetween the mild caramel malt sweetness. Nice. oh6gdx (8798), Vasa, Finland Sep 29, 2008 Draught@Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Hazy amber colour, big beige creamy head. Aroma is hops, mild spices, some rather earthy and also mildly alcoholic notes. Flavour is hops, grass, mild wood and very bittery dry. Wellbalanced and nice IIPA. MiP (8793), Sønderborg, Denmark Sep 10, 2008 Draught, 8.1%. Sweet hop aroma, quite grassy. Very cloudy red/brown colour. Stable tan head. The flavour is quite sweet with a lot of grassy aroma hops. Has a little citric hop bite. Mild carbonation, quite appropriate. joergen (8430), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 3, 2007 Updated: Oct 20, 2008Bottle at GABF 2008.

lots of drippy lace, also picking up sweet pine in the aroma, both the sweet malt and big hop flavor is much more subdued

slight diactyl in the flavor mixed with the caramel sweetness, long peppery bitter finish, the dyactyl eventually fades to leave the caramel sweetness and lots of hops behind
