faroeviking (6016), Republica Vikingo de las, Faroe Islands Nov 5, 2009 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. andersand (271), Malmö, Sweden Nov 5, 2009 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. Lyncham (46), Ohio, USA Nov 2, 2009 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. foundersfan (11), Ohio, USA Nov 1, 2009 Bottle. Good solid IPA. Very hoppy and bold with a nice citrus punch and long finish. jesperhammer (258), Copenhagen, Denmark Oct 30, 2009 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:-) charlotte (1996), Vanløse, Denmark Oct 27, 2009 Bottle.Yellow colour with small off-white head.Aroma is strong fruity of citrus and pine,good full body and slight tobaco flavor and fresh bitter finish. thorongil2 (54), , Ontario, Canada Oct 26, 2009 (bottle) gold colour, large white head, aroma of hops and fresh longans; flavour is hops, bit sweet; long medium bitter finish fata2683 (830), Panama City, Florida, USA Oct 24, 2009 bottle, pours hazy gold, medium off white head.
