The 2007 vintage is very different to the previous few years. Hops are a little more medicinal and biting now. The malt and hop flavours don’t quite seem to gel as well as they have in the past. That said, I think I like it better! It’s certainly a hoppy affair, right from the grapefruit nose through the citrus and pine flavours to the long drying finish. A great beer.

Bottled (From Ölkonsortiet, Aalborg). Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is fruityh and flowery hops along with some sweetish malty notes. Flavour is fruits, hops, grass and some mild notes of wood and spices. Wellbalanced and drinkable.

(Bottled, BB 09/2008). Orange amber color, huge cloudy off-white head, some lace. Flowery, clover aroma. Quite hoppy, some fruits, bitter - almost harsh flavor. Similar to some Swedish Ölands brews (with more alcohol of course). Fruity and hoppy, solid APA.

Very nice beer, although I am not sure I would call it an APA, as it is not that pale and and a bit on the strong side. Beef up the bitterness and it would be an exceptional IPA!

Very impressive clear amber long-lasting Head on an amber body. This is one of the best IPA I’ve tasted, as good as Mikeller’s Stateside IPA. It has all the attractive qualities: not too bitter, very well balanced, and a long-lasting very nice aftertaste. I could drinks one or two every day! This is my very first experience of a New Zealand beer, and the least I can say is that it was overwhelmingly positive!

Pours a clear amber with a frothy off white head. Big hops on the nose, with malty caramel and some citrus. Hops are strong in the flavour too, giving that characteristic bitterness of an APA. The malty caramel stays in the back, hanging out with some lemons in the grass. The bitterness lasts for quite a while, making for a very good all rounder of an APA. Anyone with a mildly good beer palate can greatly appreciate this beer.
