Bottle. I am a little confused. Is this the new or old version. it is 4.7 ABV and 36 IBU so none of the desciption on ratebeer matches. BB 03.08. Creamy white excellent mostly lasting head. Orange-yellow colour. Light malty and heavy hoppy aroma. Flowers and herbs present. Harsh bitter flavor. Long harsh bitter finish. Creamy palate. Not my style but nice.

Bottle. Pours amber with medium white head. Good hoppy aroma with fresh fruits and grass dominating. Flavour is hoppy too but it lacks the freshness. Dry bitter end.

Flaske. Fin citrus duft på en klar lys ravfarvet øl. Smagen er domineret af bitterhed allerede i starten, hvilket gør at den bliver noget endimensionel og kedelig. Det eneste andet der svagt kommer frem er en smule malt. Ikke så vellykket, men kan dog drikkes.

Bottle. Not quite as tasty as I hoped. Amber with hops and citrus. Getting to used to the higher gravity IPA’s so this lacked some zing. It was good, but not overly impressive.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a thick white head. Has a fruity hoppy aroma, taste is pleasantly flowery and goes down easy. Pretty good.

Amber with thin lacy white slowly diminishing head. Aroma of citrus, grassy hops, caramel and sweet malts. Taste is of citrus hops with overpowering bitter finish. In between it’s a little fruit with a malty backbone.

2007 bottle judging by the label. Held up well if so. Pours a dark golden color with 2 finger head and great lacing. Nose is floral, fruity hops and malt. Palate is citrus, pine and sweet malt with a resin finish. Medium mouth feel. Not a bad brew, especially if this is a year old.
