Dugges Bollox!

Brewed by Dugges Ale & Porterbryggeri
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Mölndal, Sweden

Bolled huge thanks to rick, rbesg07. I have another of these woo hoo! Aroma is huge citrus and grassy hops. Taste is similar good sweet pale malt backing trying its best to balance, but the hops prevail as they should do!

Bottle RBESG07 quite late on, and while my palate was not at its best this beer managed to cut through that and still shine. (a must to try again on a cleaner palate.) Ruby colloured ... high sharp hop nose ... very fruity ...very juicy ... delicious ...

Dark golden with a nice, creamy head. The aroma is lovely, fruity hoppy with citrus being the dominant note. The flavour is aromatically hoppy with notes of citrus and slightly burnt caramel. It’s really nice and charming. 2426

Draught @ Mackinlay’s Inn, Stockholm. Pours a dark amber color with an off-white head. Sweet malty hoppy citrus and grapefruit aroma. Sweet malty and very hoppy flavor with lots of citrus and grapefruit. Sweet malty bitter hoppy finish.

Draught at Bishop’s Arms, Malmö
Dark amber color with red hue; creamy head. Great hop aroma, a bit fruity, green hops. Good body strength, very good malt and caramel taste, with strong hopping, well aromatic and with hop oils; low carbonation (luckly! It allows to perceive full flavors). Excellent.

Draught at the brewery: Red nice clear colour,nice creamy head. Aroam is lots of hops,balanced with malt,citrus nose. Flavor is almost the same. Nice full body, and a long hopy finish. This is a werry nice IPA!!

Draught@The Rover, Göteborg. Dark amber colour, creamy beige longlasting head. Aroma is flowery hops, some grass and a bit of fruits and yeastyness (?!?). Flavour is flowery hops, some fruityness and extreme grassyness. The grassyness was just too much for me...

Draught, mackinlay’s Inn. Deep veiled copper with mysterious climbing head almost looking like a nitro muchroom. A pure darker meringue. Very rich nose displays, at its best, the Dugges malt traits that I dig immensely. Extreme fruitiness, not limited to hop aromas. The Duggest typical strawberry notes is all over, giving it a dessert feel, reddish berries abound atop of tropical notes, mostly litchee, lime, papaya.. melon.. A tartish vinous earthiness joins in to complexify this already bubble gummy, complex dessert baked in caramel sauce. Medium to thick body supports those flavors like a champion. Creamy and easy going palate. Oh yeah, did you know this was an IPA? Over the already pleasant foundations previously described, you need to add a flowery perfume emanating from this jolly snifter. Wonderful foresty hints, coniferous, sappy and most of all floral, earthy with pomegranate and blood oranges nuances. Soft support carbonation. A bloody good beer that. It reminds me of one of my favorite IPAs ever, that is the one that Stoudts used to bottle-condition in 765mL bottles. Perhaps even maltier that Dugges.. Atypical. A wonderful sipper, very close to a barley wine, but the hops are rocking in there.
