500ml bottle. Cloudy/muddy reddish orange body with a small, fast disappearing off-white head. Aroma is malty with plenty of hops, citrus fruity and a hint of alcohol. Flavor is sweet malty balanced with a lot of bitterness. A delicious variation from tons of American hop flavored double IPA’s. Balanced body and long bitter finish.

Aug 25, 2008 Slightly hazy, dark orange with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma is hoppy, fruity, and it has a lot of caramel and a little resin. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of caramel, fruity hops, resin and citrus. It’s a nice IPA with mellow caramel and a bitterness that is OK, but a bit stronger would have been OK too.

Aug 14, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Kvickly, Sønderborg. atch 108
Pours a beautiful, clear orange with a fine, frothy, off-white head. Medium duration. Aroma has lots of fruity, fat hops, some apples and grapefruit. A good degree of caramel behind it. Low carbonation, fine creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is limited sweet, lots of hops flavour, but lacking a slight bit in actual bitterness. A good long, lingering hoppy finish with grapefruit, pine and herbal notes. Good beer, but many better IIPA’s.

Aug 7, 2008 Bottle 50 cl, batch 123. One of the few beers from Haandbryggeriet that is not too fizzy! I like this this one, and will be happy to try it again.
