Ungstrup (11075), Frederiksberg, Denmark Aug 13, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with strong grassy notes of hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of grass and hops as well as lighter notes of grapefruit and an alcohol note showing up very late and which also burns lightly in the throat. Oakes (6853), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Apr 20, 2007 Light bronze colour. Grapefruit, wood, cedar, maybe even ginger. Somewhat thin for the style - maybe the thinnest I’ve had yet. The hop bitterness is mellow but it’s the main component here. Some nice fruity character but lacks the malt to back it up. kp (6200), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 02/10/2007

hazy yellow, frothy white head, sweet tangerine and pine aroma, lots of sweet citrus flavor, yet another double IPA but just as yummy as all of the others, light bitter finish complements rather than distracts,

argo0 (6167), Washington DC, USA Mar 31, 2007 (22oz bottle) Medium white head atop clear apple juice body. Aroma is mild, medium sweet, pine grapefruit. Taste is moderately sweet, pine, grapefruit, some caramel. Strong bitterness. Chewy medium-full body, lots of resin, alcohol well masked. CaptainCougar (4633), Rockville, Maryland, USA May 5, 2007 Bottle sampled on 3/8/07: Pours a transparent orange bronze with a nicely-lacing wispy white head. Fresh, piny grapefruity hoppy aroma has some lightly sweet toasty pale maltiness. Body starts with a nice mild sweetness and a very flavorful fresh grapefruity hoppy balance. Smooth, slightly warming finish. A nice IIPA.
