| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 5, 2005 (341 ml bottle: Obtained in trade with tiggmtl, thanks Stephen!) Compared side-by-side with their Golding IPA, this pours with the same ruddy amber color and sizeable, light tan head, but it’s fairly clear in appearance, and head retention isn’t as impressive. This seems much more true to the style than the Golding. Somewhat malty and noticeably toasty, but easily balanced by a moderately bitter, but sour grapefruit-like hoppiness that dominates the finish. The nose is hoppy and lightly malty, but also a bit sour. Medium in body and fairly clean on the palate. A nice ring of decorative lace circles the top of the glass, with drooping, patchy lacing below. Not nearly as good as the Golding, but this is still a respectable IPA.

THis brew is copper colored, with a hoppy flavor, thick tongue feel and a dry finish. It’s a nice drinking IPA Mads Langtved (2246), Copenhagen K, Denmark
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jun 16, 2005 This IPA is not very pleasant. It is metallic and sour. No bitterness is noticable in this. Quite dry though. Slightly thin as well. Ungstrup (15382), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 14, 2005 A hazy amber beer with a light brown head. The aroma is of caramel as well as light notes of grass and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of grass and with an extreme dry end. Jeppe (2638), Ølbutikken, Denmark
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 10, 2005 Slightly hazy orange body, foamy off-white head. Dry hoppy aroma with malt and grass - like a hoppy pilsener. Dry flavor as well dominated by hop and grass and some herby tones. Pretty uninteresting, but easy drinkable. Thanks for the trade David (Rastacouere). madsberg (5060), Søborg, Denmark
