50 cl. bottle Aroma is very bitter and hoppy with a slice of citrus. Great apperance - typical nice pale ale. Excellent bitter flavor which presents the chinook hops very well (albeit not my absolute favorit type of hops). Super biting mouthfeel! Overall a great beer!!

Dark amber body. Some hazy/cloudiness to it. Nice thick creamy, soapy off-white head. Great lacing. Very bright and juicy citrus hop aroma. Some oily green hop leaf too. Lots of yummy hops in here. Very fresh and tastey. Though, like a lot of good IPAs its hard to distinguish like others (for example, its like a hoppier, fuller SNCA). This one is definitely a bit tastier. Nice juicy/syrupy hop sweetness. Yeasty sour bread hints too. Occaisional dry cocoa hints in the finish. I would buy this often if I lived in Denmark. Very good.

Very citrusy hop aroma, lots of grapefruit, very juicy hoppyness. Cloudy orange body with a small off-white head. Light malty flavor, but a big hop profile, lots of grapefruit, juicy bitterness which lingers in the mouth.

Bottle, pours a little cloudy amber (could just not wait a day or two), with a nice head. Very much my kind of beer, with a dry finish.

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy, dark amber with a small, creamy head. But it’s the aroma, that really makes this beer stand out. Wauw, a fantastic aroma of peach, apricot and perhaps also a citrusy touch. The body is not overly full considering the alcohol. Lightly sweet flavours of caramel malt, but it’s the fantastic Chinook hops that completely dominate this brew and also leave a considerable bitterness. 011205

Bottle, courtesy of Jeppe, Ølbutikken (thx). Yeah!!! Hit me baby, one more time! This is a beer I fancy! Amber-orange with an aroma of hops, oranges, flowers and sweet liquorice (to mention but a few of the many magnificent scents which hit my nostrils). Floral in taste with an excellent bitterness. The mouthfeel was very well balanced. Thanks to Sofajoern for joining me in tasting this beer

I pretty much fell in love with this one. Thanks to MPA for the tasting. Fairly dark (for an IPA) reddish brown with a slowly dissipating head. Lots of hops in the aroma, flowers, oranges and a touch of sweet liquorice and apples. Almost creamy in the mouth and very full bodied. The hoppyness and bitterness in the flavour was almost overwhelming and lasted quite a bit afterwards. Definetely one I’ll come back for.

Cloudy deep amber with a foamy tan head. Malty, toffee sweet aroma with a hoppy pineapple fruityness. Hoppy dry flavor, light citric fruityness.
