COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Solstenen er særdeles omdiskuteret blandt lærde arkæologer. For havde vikingernes navigatører virkelig et sådant redskab, der kunne afgøre hvad der var øst, og hvad der var vest - selv på en overskyet dag? Det har vi valgt at tro på! Her mange år senere var en solsten dog ikke nødvendig, da Amager Bryghus blev invaderet fra vest af noget som I udpræget grad lignede amerikanske efterkommere af vikingerne. Chris Boggess og Barnaby Struve fra Three Floyds Brewing i Munster, Indiana ankom ikke med skumle motiver om hævn men derimod med en meget højlydt King Diamond på deres bærbare mp3-afspiller. Dette var ikke en dag til slagsmål eller hævndrab men til ølbrygning. Og brygget det blev der. Den bløde og nærmest skræmmende letdrikkelige Arctic SunStone er beviset på, at selv vikingekrigere kan have en mere blid og imødekommende side.

English: The sunstone - much disputed among scholars. Did the Viking navigators really have such a tool that would help them point out what was east and what was west - even on a less than sunny day? We certainly believe so. Many years later no sunstone was needed when Amager Bryghus was invaded by what very much looked like Viking ancestors of American descent. Hailing from Munster, Indiana, Chris Boggess and Barnaby Struve of Three Floyds Brewing arrived not with a vengeance but with very loud King Diamond on their portable mp3 player. This was not a day for slaughter but for brewing. And brew we did. The mellow and dangerously quaffable Arctic SunStone is proof that even Viking warriors can have a more subtle side to them. All hail to Three Floyds.

Ingredients: Water. Malts: Pale, Munich, Melanoidin. Hops: Tomahawk, Citra, Centennial, Simcoe. Yeast: UK-ale.

rumore (4484) - Rimini, ITALY - OCT 4, 2022
UPDATED: OCT 4, 2022 Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours pretty hazy, looking like a fruit cocktail or a juice, with no foam. Aroma is initially intensely fruity, then hoppy, tropical. Body is slightly dense, with average carbonation. Taste is fairly bitter, with a bit of sweetness too. Final is fairly long as well.

BlackHaddock (15456) - The County Time Forgot, Shropshire, ENGLAND - JUL 27, 2019
UPDATED: JUL 27, 2019 33cl bottle; batch 1856, BB Jul 2019. Drank at home on 27th Jul 2019, so 27 days after it's BBD. Sediment left the bottle, so huge amount of floaters filled the glass, took ages to settle and sink through the cloudy dull orange body, on top a dirty off-white crust sat staring back at me as I willed the floaters to sink. Orange esters to the fore in the nose, taste also orange forward. Fairly hop bitter once the initial orange flavour is overcome, 'pithy orange bitterness' is a good way to describe it. Light alcohol burn in the finish.

ricardostercios (1596) - Castelló de la Plana, SPAIN - MAY 24, 2019
UPDATED: MAY 24, 2019 Color naranja oscuro, muy turbia, casi opaca. Espuma blanca de dos dedos de espesor y buena retención. Aroma cítrico, entre piel de naranja y pomelo y un toque entre herbal y resinoso. Sabor en esa línea aunque con el amargor cítrico algo más rebajado y un punto de caramelo, final levemente amargo. Textura entre acuosa y sedosa. Carbonatación media baja.

3.5
s3quin (1022) - Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, ENGLAND - MAY 12, 2019
UPDATED: MAY 12, 2019 Aroma: Pine, grapefruit, orange, mango. Quite heavy malt backbone. Appearance: Deep dark orange, murky, small white head. Taste: Decent bitterness, sweet. Palate: Low carbonation, medium body. Overall: OK pale ale, a tad too malty.

3.2
Derbeth (2167) - Kraków, POLAND - MAY 4, 2019
UPDATED: MAY 4, 2019 Orange colour, sparkling, minimal head. Aroma is intensive topical fruit and citrus hops. Medium bitterness, quite aggressive. Good.

3.2
Lhibou (3) - - MAR 16, 2019 does not count
UPDATED: MAR 16, 2019 Aroma of abricots and orange - muddy orangy hue in the glass with a medium sized white, thick foam. Carbonation on point for this type - very fruity and unfortunately just a little to tea/herbal. If I found this on tap I would be all over it. But as it was from the bottle, not living up to its potential.
