Brewed at Ørbæk Bryggeri
Style: American Pale Ale
Copenhagen V, Denmark

Great hop aroma for a euro shot at an American IPA. Same goes for the taste. Sweet, a little grassy. Surprisingly good. Thanks Pepsican for the bodacious brew!

Pours amber with a medium white head. Strong juicy hop aroma. Flavor is similar, very bitter. Drinks a bit more like a pale ale but the aroma hints at something close to an IIPA. Pretty fun!

The taste of hops with my favourite cuisin was gordious, wellbalanced and so nice.

bottle. copper pour with slight haze. thick foamy off white head. sweet caramel malts and fresh hop aroma. Nice Pale! Aroma made me think this would be more like an IPA but the it is not. earthy hops. malts are subdued. balance is super. well done.

(Bottle, Plan B, Copenhagen, 28 March 2008) Amber colour with huge, frothy, beige head. Fruity, hoppy nose with grapefruit, orange peel and pine needles. Fruity taste with notes of grapefruit, orange marmalade, caramel and lots of piney hops in a lasting finish. Medium body, rather sweet. Very nice beer with a lovely hop character.

Bottle. It pours a slightly hazy, well-carbonated orange-golden body, topped by a creamy, mediumsized beige head leaving nice lacings. It’s very hoppy on the nose, with pinecones, grapefruit, resin and grass. There’s malt there too, some weak caramel, but in the background. It has a full-bodied, almost stinging, quite effervescent mouthfeel with flavors of grapefruit peel and pine cones dominating. There’s a decent malty sweetness as well, but as in the aroma, it’s playing second violin. Lovely bitterness that lasts for a good while and has company of some malty sweetness in the finish. It’s so flavorful and fullbodied I wouldn’t have been suspicious if someone said it was 8% ABV, yet it is a very refreshing and quenching beer. I started drinking it at cellar temperature, and that is the temperature it suits best I think, but it sure isn’t bad when it warms up either. (080404)

Bottle. Unclear medium amber orange color with a large, frothy - fizzy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, moderate to heavy hoppy, grape, orange, flowers. Flavor is moderate sweet and heavy bitter (like grape or citrus shell bitter) with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (For me a very nice aroma but the flavor is way to citrus shell bitter burn) (090308)

From a 500mL Bottle. Pours a somewhat hazy, amber bronze color with a thick head of fine bubbled ivory. Grassy hop aroma of freshly mown lawn, white grapefruit, and floral rose petals. A touch of graham cracker malt backs pleasantly. Medium light bodied, spritzy carbonated mouthfeel. Pithy grapefruit hop bitterness accompanied by hints of biscuity malt. There’s a bit of a toasted bread crust flavor that lingers a bit awkwardy in the finish. Too much hop bitterness and not enough flavor, giving it a bit of a pithy, planty character, detracting from the refreshing drinkability.
