Ungstrup (11930), Frederiksberg, Denmark Mar 24, 2004 The aroma is of hops and grass. The color is dark orange and it has a fine lazing head. The flavor is sweet aroma hoppy as well as bitter with notes of grass and oil. A lovely beer. Oakes (7047), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 22, 2006 Dull copper colour. Big earthy hop aroma with lots of caramelly malts. Earthy, hoppy flavour, moderate bitterness, with hints of caramel. argo0 (6334), Washington DC, USA Oct 4, 2005 (12oz bottle) Lightly hazed copper body topped by a big off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, floral, grapefruit, peach, some caramel. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, orange, floral, some peach, faint lime. Pretty solid bite. Smooth medium body with some resin. Could stand for a bit of rounding, but still, this is a pleasant beer. kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 <b>Date:</b> 04/12/2003<br />

opaque orange, sweet grapefruit aroma, lots of citrus grapefruit flavor with a sweetness that’s like sugar on your morning grapefruit, nice long low bitter finish, does not hold up to the bottom of the glass<br />

turns into a nice bitter pale ale, looses the citrus and even most of the sweetness, <br />

clear copper, fine white head, solid lace, sweet citrus aroma, creamy body, rich hop flavor followed by tons of bitterness, enough caramel sweetness to provide a bit of a backbone but it’s all about the hops, best sample yet but still needs more hop flavor than the bitterness <br />

Hildigöltur (5055), København Ø, Denmark Mar 25, 2004 Deep orange coloured. Very hoppy, very bitter, very fruity, quite flowery. A very nice and refreshing IPA.
