does not count  Nov 7, 2009 Bottle, 50cl, from Vinmonopolet, Oslo. Batch 206, BB 20.1.2012. Hazy amber colour, medium head that settles to a fine persistent lacing. Aroma of citrus, pine, ripe fruit and malt. Fizzy/sticky mouthfeel. Fruity flavour with pine, then a concentrated dry, hoppy taste where the 9% ABV can be felt. Less lasting bitterness than might be expected from a double IPA.

Nov 2, 2009 A clear dark orange colored beer, with a thick white head. Th e aroma is malty with fruits and ginger. The taste is sweet a little sticky. Some bitter in the back with alcohol. The aftertaste is bitter with a little sweet.

Oct 17, 2009 The aroma greets you with fresh fruity and spicy notes tinged with alcohol. The first sip prickles on the tongue with more European than American/British hop notes, and a fruity rather than bitter and spicy taste predominates. The palate lingers with dry bitterness but is not as pronounced as the initial taste. A nice DIPA as far as I am concerned.

Oct 7, 2009 Oh, happy day! The combination of the beautiful orange amber colour, foamy head and the smell of fresh oranges and grain, with a hint of moist straw, reminds me of spring. The first happy days when the sun starts to warm your face after a long dark winter. The flavour is rounded, a mix newly juiced oranges, flowers and ginger. After the beer session 2.apr.09 I rushed to Vinmonopolet, Langnes to buy some more. (Thank you, Rune!)

Oct 3, 2009 I really like this beer. The first one I had, I sunk so quickly that didn’t even get a chance to rate it. So second time round I’m ready to pick it a part a bit. It looks the business for sure, wanted to give it a 5 almost, but settled on a 4, cloudy orange colour with massive expanding dense beige head. Aroma is full of pine, dried fruits, apricot, wild strawbs, nectarine, with a good whack of earthiness and mineral aromas, but a really unique characteristic is the familiarity of the aromas and flavours, quite UK in style, but I hate to say it, 5 times better in depth. Flavour is spot on, really silky, good balance between richness and bitterness, with a lovely just off dry quality balanced by the resdual sweetness from the alcohol.

Sep 26, 2009 (Bottled, BBE 01/2012) Hazy amber with a medium, firm and tanned, lightly lacy head. Aroma is piney-aromatic-hoppy with dark fruitiness and quite a bit of Belgian yeastiness. Flavor is very fruity and sweetish with lemony-aromatic hops, touch of licorice, and hints of mushy stuffiness. Hides the ABV well. Medium body, slightly fizzy carbonation. A bit homebrewish and boring Double IPA - but knowing the variation in this brewery’s quality, this may as well be excellent at its best. Didn’t feel like infected, though, and I liked the Belgian yeastiness + fruit.

Sep 22, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a very large sized head of finely sized tan colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a very hazy softly carbonated orange brown colored body. The mild aroma was mild piney and deep rich floral hops. The semi-flat mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start mediumly tingly at the finish. The good flavor contained notes of deep hops and deep floral rich hops. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.
