Hansen (2235), Randers, Denmark Jul 4, 2008 Golden colour, and a bit unclear. White head, mostly lasting. Aroma is kind of sweet, not heavy hoppy as expected for a triple IPA. Flavor starts sweet and finish bitter. Overall its a bit too sweet. heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA Jun 25, 2008 Hazy orange bronze body with a lightly yellowish tinted head. Thhe aroma was grapefruit and earthy sweat. There was also toast and some almonds. The taste was toasted almonds with some tobacco. There was also some decent grapefruit rind. An interesting and fairly malty version of the style. iowaherkeye (1832), Bakersfield, California, USA Jun 24, 2008 500mL bottle, Holdbar til 07.01.2010--thanks pepsican! Clear orange with 1/2 finger yellow-white head, down to a thick ring and film. Aroma has tons of tropical and citrus fruits, and the same smoke and tobacco presence that their barleywine had. Some alcohol is also noted. Flavor is a little alcoholic, though still plenty of fruity hops with some caramel backing. Bitterness peaked at a 4 with a semi-dry finish. Full body with light smooth carbonation. One of the few DIPAs from Europe that I liked. trapez (765), Hilleroed, Denmark Jun 23, 2008 Bottle 0.5 l. Bought Bjergtrolden, Roskilde. Very pleasant rich hops aroma. Colour almost orange with relatively small white head. Flavour fruit and hops, much less bitter than would be expected, and does not leave the usual very dryness, but rather refreshing hops aftertaste. NosirIwont (1162), Aalborg Vestby, Denmark Jun 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with a white head. Some lacing. Fresh, citrus hop aroma. Flavour is sweet and hoppy. Finish has alcohol and a bitterness with slight liquorice notes. Lots of body. Slightly oily palate. Not a very complex beer, but nice as it is. 21-06-08. rane (493), Nibe, Denmark Jun 10, 2008 Bottle. A nice beer. Pale amber colour with small dense white head. Aroma is flowery hoppy and with some malt in the background. Taste is hoppy with a solid malty body, some caramel as well. Not very bitter in the end but some nice worming alcohol and good sweetness.
I have become a little bit tired of hopp bombs and IIPAs as well, but this one is one of the best IIPAs I have tried, which isn´t shown by my caracter. I would downrate most of the others if I tasted them again. Much better than Raasted normal IIPA, that by my opinion is much one sided. tarjei (1741), Bryne, Norway Jun 5, 2008 0,5 l bottle, at Hopheads tasting at Roger´s place. Golden color, nice white head. Aroma is hoppy and fruity. Flavor is hops, fruit, spices. Very balanced - nice! Defreni (993), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 20, 2008 Flaske. Mørkeorange øl med en del små proteinklumper i. Heldigvis er de så små at det ingen indflydelse har på drikkeglæden. Lækker frugt-humlet duft. Smagen er let blomstret med en delikat bitterhed. Meget balanceret og rigtig godt bryg.
