Dec 19, 2009 Cloudy orange, long lasting large off-white head, excellent lacing.
Aroma is of, well, lots of Simcoe hops, oranges and grapefruits, pine with some light alcohol.
Flavour is nicly hopped, lots of citrus and pine, chewy with a moderate bitterness.
Hoppy mouth, med body, med/high carb.
Finishes very long and Hoppy.
Just when you think that this will finish quick and watery, a huge hoppy bitterness takes over. An excellent IPA.

Dec 18, 2009 Bottle: Pale orangish amber in color, large frothy off-white head, spotty lacing, tangy citrus zest on the nose. Nice combination of citrusy bitterness on the tongue. Feels livley, bubbley, like champagne. This one I would sun up as being very tangy. Sweet bitterness on the finish. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Sweet citrusy finish, moderate malt body. Not overly bitter. This one was real pleasent, great IPA. Simple, clean, flavorful, and a joy to drink. Not light, not heavy, just solid.

Dec 16, 2009 Bottle at home. Pours a cloudy dark orange color with a huge persistent head of cream-white foam that laces nicely. The aroma is moderately sweet bready malts with fruity notes (oranges, pineapples and passionfruit) and a perfume-like fresh pine hop presence. Flavors are similar with a decent satisfying dry hop bitterness at the end. Medium to full bodied with a smooth easy drinking mouthfeel. Certainly a very classy beer.

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle. Pale yellow, a bit cloudy liquid with a rather large, white head. Aroma is fruity with notes of citrus, bitter herbs and some detergent. Taste balances between a fruity hop note and a belgian note with a hint of urinal. Finish is almost a bit roasted with some candy notes and a nice bitterness. A bit one-sided, but not bad.

Dec 5, 2009 (Bottle) Cloudy brownish amber colour with a lasting, frothy, off-white head, leaving traces of lacing. Fruity, hoppy nose with orange marmalade, dried apricots and citrussy hops. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of orange marmalade, grapefruit, pine needles, caramel and lots of fresh, citrussy, piney hops in the finish. More aromatic than bitter though. Slightly above medium body, fairly dry. Another tasty and hoppy beer from Mikkel. Very nice.
