Commercial Description:
This is our unique version of an ancient style. A style as old as the ocean trade routes of the last centuries Great Ships. Not as old as the equator they had to cross twice enroute, nor as old as the 10,000 or so miles of Di-Hydrogen Oxide and Sodium upon which they sailed, but older than the Circulithium-4 Lentloid that binds the Lupulin Quartnate onto your taste buds. Weird. Think about it. Now stop. OK, go again, now stop. Think again, and stop. But we digress. Made with 43 different hops and 65 various malts, this redolent ale will likely float your boat, whatever planet you're on.

Beautiful clear copper with a white head. Aroma is citrus and pineapple, and taste is the same. Sweet and balanced with perfect hop bittering.

The predominant taste here is honey. Even the smell is honey. This is too sweet and not hoppy enough. Do you know what I mean when I say its not "beery"? Other than that, it was clear, tawny, and did have some identifiable grapefruit flavor. Bottle.

Decent flavor and depth to this beer, but light on the fruity, grassy, hoppy notes. Not as bitter a flavor as I would prefer, but quite decent when fresh and on tap.

Bottle...pours brownish/goldish. White head, lasts a bit. Not much of a smell really...a little fruity, a little hoppy, nothing spectacular. Taste is good. Mild for an IPA in terms of bitterness, very sessionable. Could drink a lot of these.

Bottle and Draft. Pours an amber body with a white head. Very fresh chewy lush hop character and loads of grass, its like chewing on some fresh cut grass. Good shit.

Tap. Enjoyable IPA but probably not a beer an hop fiend would love given that its a IPA. Flavor is not that in your face, very drinkable beer.

Bottle @ Ørsted Ølbar, Cph.
Pours a fine, copper-amber with a medium, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is surprisingly malty, light caramel, slightly grainy. Fine fruity hops as well. Medium carbonation, fair dry mouthfeel. Flavour has fruity hops, dry pine, oranges and grapefruit. But it mostly taste and the beer feels to fat, compared to how crisp I’d like it.

Pours a clear golden orange with a very thin, non-lasting white head. Not much aroma but there was a little sweet malt, and slight hops. Taste starts sweet, for just a moment. It then goes to a citrus hop flavor with some good bitterness. Finish is bitter. An alright IPA but not something to rave about.
