chiara schiuma abbondante piuttost persistentye note maltate e luppolate anche un leggero fruttato zucchero candito etilico in bocca il dolce del amalto e dell’etilico avvolgono il palato poi vengono tagliata abbastanza con l’amaro del luppolo l’alcol si nasconde bene un po estremizzata

Pours a dark cloudy golden yellowish orange color with a huge foamy white head. Earthy and citrus hops dominate the aroma. Also, hints of pine and malt. Excellently balanced and very quaffable considering the high ABV. Crisp, fruity, piney, citrus peel, light fruit and very hoppy with a nice malt backbone. Nice alcohol warmth in the finish.

bottle, pours a cloudy orangejuice with a billowy eggwhite head, very orange julius looking, nose is a yeasty sour, flavor is spicy and shows no sign of alcohol , finish is sweet and bitter at the same time

Un’altra grande birra a marchio T Smisje, con splendido aroma di luppolo fresco e un buon amaro nel finale. Finale del CUL.

Bottle from Ölbutikken Double IPA? No, it´s a hopped up belgian blod ale. Lot´s of belgian yeast in the aroma and just a hint of hops. The beer dosn´t taste like the artwork suggests but in a way it is more interesting than many (mainly american) I2PAs who does!

Hazy gold with HUGE pilloy head. Piney, yeasty, light spiced and smokey. Smoked meats are incredible and evident off the nose and on the palate. Cloved, spiced smoked and fruited. In fact the taste is similar to a smoke beer. Not even close to what I was expecting for the style. That said, I liked the beer a lot, but wouldnt even consider it a double ipa. This one threw me off for sure. MaybeI just got a freaked out bottle....will rerate soon...

Cloudy orange with some dancing sediment and an enormous four finger head of rocky, lumpy foam that does not go away despite a careful pour. Very citrusy aroma, some spiciness, Belgian yeast of bananas and cloves. Taste is very spicy and tripel like. Belgian spiciness and Blonde maltiness then a great citrus hoppiness.

Bottle courtesy of SoLan. Pours a cloudy yellow with a huge 4 finger persistent marshmallow head. Really nice lacing and that head is still an iceberg in my empty glass. Nose is Belgian yeast, a touch of smoky malts and citrus. Taste is yeast, sweet malt, some mellow spice and ripe citrus with a bitter grapefruit finish. Medium, creamy mouth feel. Good stuff – thanks Alan!
