Botella. Clear deep golden colour. Sweet hoppy caramel aroma. Good mouthfeel. the flavour is sweet and hoppy with caramel, toasty malt, citrus, bit herby and with a good bitterness. Sweet hoppy bitter dry malty finish.

Nice bright golden coloured IIPA with a intense hoppy nose and a underlaying character of basic caramell. Mouthfeel is slick and nicely carbonated, flavour is fruity and hop-juicy but a bit harsh, especially in the final where the beer ends dry and extremely bitter with light lingering caramell sweetness.

This is a great strong IPA. It is a bit too hoppy for my taste, but overall it is good.. The hops took away from some of the malt and citrus flavors. Excellent color to the beer. There are hints of peach, or tropical fruits in the beer.

30-OCT-2009, botle @home. Rating #250. Sort of an anniversary... Off course I wanted a DIPA to celebrate. Lovely bitter aroma with pine and citrus. Very fruity taste with pineapples, and lots of sweetness and fruit. And then the bitterness and the loooong aftertaste. Some malt just presents itself to balance the hops. Not su much a DIPA as a very strong, very bitter IPA. Any way, lovely beer, Happy anniversary:-)

bottle, pours hazy gold, medium off white head. Aroma is hops and dried apricot. Some grapfruit notes with nice nutty bircuity malt and a mildly sweet with tons of hop bitterness. Very enjoyable.
