Nørrebro Hill Spawn Double IPA

Brewed by Nørrebro Bryghus
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
København, Denmark

Entered to celebrate my rating number 15,000. I’ve chosen this new Double IPA brewed by my good friend Shaun Hill. A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is powerful with notes of hops, citrus, grapefruit, malt, caramel, and fresh hop vines. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy - lending it notes of grass, grapfruit, orange peal, and fresh hop vines, on a malty caramel back ground, leading to a very bitter finish, where the sweetness and alcohol lingers too. Lovely - but dangerous.

Tap @ the brewpub.
Pours hazy orange, softly pale. Small, staying, creamy, white head. Aroma is impressively hoppy, almost dripping of hop oils. Piney, grapefruit, lots of citrus. Soft caramel sweet base. Medium carbonation, impressive fat and dry mouthfeel. Flavour is super hoppy, citrus, grassy, piney, peach. Super sugary malty background. Lovely dry so the alcohol doesn’t stick out negatively. Almost gives my heartburn, but the bitterness stop just before. Phenomenal dryness in the finish. I suspect my burbs to taste like this the next month or so. Citrus-lime notes in the far finish. The hops almost feel kinda roasted in the top of my mouth. (I’m giving it a 4 in looks simple because it looks so much less intimidating than it actually is - a wolf in sheep clothing)

Draught at NB at launchday. Cloudy amber - white head. High high hoppy - but very well balanced, nice bitterness, grassy, fruity, grape fruity, resin, nice light malty, sweetness, peppery. Long lasting bitterness.

Draught, thanks Shaun. Hazy nice orange colour with a big white head elaving a good lasting lacing. Lovely very ripe fruity, pine, bitter hoppy grape fruit fresh aroma. Great filling mouthfeel. The flavour has lots of ripe fruit, pine and grape fruit with a very pleasant bitterness, a good sweetness and a long lasting dry ripe fruity, pine, grape fruit, bitter and sweet finish. Touché!

Tap at bryghuset. Magnificent beer! Discreet look with a hazy orange color and a little but lasting head. Amazing hoppy aroma followed by a hopexplosion as it quickly dissapears down the throat. Extremely crisp and dry and no sign of the booze anywhere. This is one of the best DIPA I’ve ever had and it’s so nice that it didn’t have to pass an ocean to get to me!

tap at nørrebro bryghus, thanks a bunch Shaun. hazy orange, lacing white head. fresh mild hoppy aroma, some grapefruit and pine. flavort is very strong hoppy, bitter from hops, faint malty sweet, alc totally hidden, ends piny and hoppy bitter.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy dark orange with a huge, creamy and white head leaving a nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is light spiced, crisp hoppy and tangerine. Sweet initial impression although given the plato that shouldbe somatic. Crisp tangering fruity hops flavoured. Smooth and yet with a solid bitterness. Dry andfruity finish. Ridiculous wellbalanced and smooth given the hops and the alcohol. Bone dry yetnot with the imediate impression of this. Stunning!
