Bottle. I expected a bit more of this one, but it is still a very good beer. Powerful aroma and taste of hps with some nice sweetness in the finish. Well balanced.

Another great beer from Hair of the Dog. Probably now approaching one of my favorite breweries. Aroma is very malty and sweet. Appearance is cloudy light brown with a thick head. Mouthfeel is incredibly smooth. Flavor is great with a mild hoppy flavor and nice thick IPA aftertaste.

Orange uklar øl. Parfumeret duft med meget klar humle. Ekstremt humlet og syrlig. Skummer ufatteligt meget, Er ikke noget for mig

Bottle. Cloudy yellow amber color with a average frothy good lacing off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, heavy hoppy, citrus. Flavor is moderate sweet and heavy bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. With a nice bitterness in the finish.

Bomber, bottled on 4/22/06, with a touching tribute to Mother Earth on the side. Poured a clear, lighter golden with a tall, well-retained cap of white head... leaving intricate lacing as it descended. Aroma picked up toffee and caramel surrounded by cold pine forests and grapefruit extract.
The flavor also maintained its hop focus, with pineapple and pine leading the way... sweet caramel provides a respectable base... long, bitter finish with more of the pineapple remaining. Bitterness was high, and the flow was only decent on the palate. Thanks go to Styles for the bottle!
