Københavnske Øldage 07. Draught. This is a beautiful, orange-golden beer with a nice, creamy head. Are you out of your mind - what an absolutely lovely aroma!! It’s perfectly hopped with piny, grassy, resiny, citrussy and fruity notes and a soothing hint of caramel. The flavour is simply amazing, and I now realize how much I adore these extreme hop-head beers. And it’s beyond my understanding, that anyone can make a beer with only 5%, that has SO much flavour - so keep ’em coming!! I don’t have to serch for the bitterness, but perhaps there is something wrong with med, because I honestly think that it’s pleasant and smooth - extreme, sure, but.... It has a nice, slightly sweet caramel foundation, piny notes of resin, grass, orange citrus fruits, a hint of peach, grapefruit and the finish is veeeeery loooong - and I simply cannot let go, I need another sip - woow - what a beer!! 2168

May 21, 2008 This beer is undrinkable, there are no harmoni between the hops and malt. The periment is funny, and is was fun to try, but thats all to say about that.

May 18, 2008 The hoppies brew ever... per Urbain at Struisse. Very 1 dimensional... not that it should be a surprise, comes off very astringent and almost acidic.. has some sweetness but lacks balance.

Apr 17, 2008 Tap. Amber with white head. Aroma is hops with notes of hops and after that some more hops. Taste is very hoppy and very bitter. Funny experiment.

Nov 18, 2007 Draught at Copenhagen Beerfestival 2007. Hazy amber colour with a very nice hoppy aroma. Very very hoppy and bitter flavour, a little bit to much sharp bitter nad hops flavour, the flavour also have some caramel, but need some balance. A very interresting beer.
